“This is so sweet and wonderful”: Drew Barrymore on Her and Adam Sandler’s Daughters Watching 50 First Dates

by

As an ardent fan who has grown up watching Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler’s magical on-screen duo, witnessing their children sharing a special bond over their classic film, 50 First Dates, feels like a dream come true! It’s heartwarming to see the next generation appreciating the timeless charm of the movie that brought so much joy to our lives.

The friendship between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler has grown to involve their children as well. Recently, they all enjoyed a special movie evening watching one of their favorite films, 50 First Dates. On her talk show, Drew Barrymore shared this heartwarming tale, explaining that her daughter and Sandler’s daughter delighted in the classic romantic comedy, clearly demonstrating great joy and love for the movie where their parents played leading roles.

On the November 4th episode of her show, I shared a heartwarming moment with Emily Osment and Montana Jordan about their children. “The other night,” I reminisced, “my daughter and Adam’s daughter were watching 50 First Dates at my house.” Initially, I joked, “Why are you guys watching this? Don’t you get enough of me and your dad?” However, as I observed them, their happiness was palpable, making the scene “so sweet and wondrous” to witness.

Despite not mentioning which daughters were present, Barrymore, who has two daughters – Olive (12) and Frankie (10) with her ex-husband Will Kopelman – was the one watching the movie. Meanwhile, Sandler, aged 58, shares Sunny (16) and Sadie (18) with his spouse Jackie. The touching scene resonated with Osment, who had just experienced watching ’50 First Dates’ for the first time herself, and she expressed her belief that it must be heartwarming for Barrymore to observe her children appreciating her acting.

50 First Dates, helmed by Peter Segal, chronicles the story of Lucy (Barrymore), a dedicated art teacher afflicted with anterograde amnesia following a car crash, causing her to forget each day’s occurrences. In this movie, Adam Sandler takes on the role of Henry, a marine veterinarian who persistently pursues her affection, despite her daily memory resets. The film’s captivating narrative and one-of-a-kind love story have won it a devoted fan base.

Previously on The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore disclosed some unexpected aspects of the movie’s original ending. Originally planned as a Seattle-set drama, the initial storyline ended with Lucy advising Henry to leave her behind and live his life freely. Yet, the film’s more optimistic final version, featuring Henry reminding Lucy of their shared past every morning in a loving manner, has become one of the movie’s most cherished and inspiring moments.

The fact that Barrymore and Sandler’s children watching 50 First Dates together shows how the special connection between these actors on-screen and off-screen has endured over time. These two legends, who have acted alongside each other in The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended, still enthrall audiences, young and old alike, with their classic films and the friendship they’ve nurtured throughout the years.
