The 2004 romantic comedy "50 First Dates" was a spin on the "Groundhog Day" notion of a day that keeps repeating itself. However, in this movie, the recycling takes place entirely inside the mind of Lucy Whitmore played by Drew Barrymore.

Every night while she sleeps, the slate of her memory is wiped clean, and when she wakes up in the morning, she remembers everything that happened up to the moment of the accident, but nothing that happened afterward.

Sandler plays Henry Roth, a marine biologist at a Hawaiian sea world, healing walruses, sea lions and dolphins and moonlighting as an expert in one-night stands.
