50 First Dates
55Watch it awake.
The joke is cruder than the idea. The idea is care. Watch it for the repeating morning, and skip the bits that exist to be gross.
The review
Drew Barrymore's Lucy wakes up without the years. Adam Sandler's Henry, who has been a man unwilling to stay, learns to stay where it cannot flatter him, because she will not be collecting the days. Her father has already been living that way. The film surrounds this with the comedy of its year, which means some scenes are simply crude.
Acceptable at thirteen if you are willing to talk over the crude parts and keep the breakfast. Ask what you would do if the person you love could not bank the kindness.

Live Historic number 55. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Republic and Temperance are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Groundhog Day
69 instead of 55
Groundhog Day is still a comedy film, and it scores 69 instead of 55. What you gain is temperance: Appetite is burned out of him.
The eight
- 5Industry
He builds a way for her to meet the day. That is labor, disguised as a rom-com.
- 7Household
A father and a brother already doing the care. He joins a house rather than stealing her from it.
- 3Piety
Devotion, not a creed.
- 6Courage
Loving someone who will not remember you is a kind of courage.
- 4Republic
A family and a cafe. Small, and enough.
- 4Temperance
Sandler' s film cannot resist the body joke. The core does not need it.
- 7Truth
Memory loss is not a quirk they cure with a speech. They tell her the truth every day.
- 8Stewardship
Showing up again is the inheritance. That is the scene to keep.
