About 50 First Dates
The Cure and a reggae beat certainly make strange bedfellows as, one assumes, do Adam Sandler and a girl with no short-term memory. In that sense, the 50 First Dates soundtrack is a good accompaniment to a fluffy romantic comedy in which one of the main characters is perpetually living in the past. It's also a fitting follow-up to that other Sandler/Barrymore vehicle, The Wedding Singer. (Take a set by Robbie Hart, add a topical shirt, and voilá: a new soundtrack is born.) To those who can't get enough of '80s hits like Bryan Ferry's "Slave to Love" and the Cars' "Drive," setting them to a island beat will likely seem whimsical, charming, and perfect for barbecue weather. For those who are glad the '80s are gone, this CD is a pass. And for Sandler-completeists who crave lighthearted, comic tunes like "Forgetful Lucy," well, you obviously own this already. --Leah Weathersby Amazon.com

User Reviews
Average user review:
(248 reviews) |  | Great Motion Picture SOUNDTRACK! |  |
This soundtrack is really nice and is intended as a release of 80`s music with an island tropical twist.
This soundtrack DOES NOT reflects the original score of the movie which features great songs not included in this soundtrack.
There is a difference between a Soundtrack and the Original Score people!!
If you guys want the original score well download the list kindly provided by the person who wrote the first review for this soundtrack.
