Corrected entry: The film starts around November 13th. Then Henry takes a long time to get Lucy's attention in various ways etc and the movie is called 50 first dates, so you'd think at least 50 days pass along with the days where he doesn't succeed with her. Shouldn't there be Christmas decorations or something similar? It would be safe to assume that Christmas would be very close by the time Henry is ready to leave.

Correction: No there shouldn't be decorations, because they don't want Lucy to find out what happened. Also, the movie is called "50 First Dates" as a way of hinting at the plot, it doesn't literally mean there is 50 first dates. And, even if it was literal, they obviously skipped many of the days to cut back on time, so the holidays were left out intentionally.

Corrected entry: When Henry is pretending to be tied up, Lucy's father drives by and tells him to go to their house. When Henry gets to the house, Lucy's father tells Henry that he's figured out that she only sings on days she has met Henry. It then shows her singing. She hasn't met him yet that day, so why is she singing?

Correction: Although it is possible that this is is a plot hole, it is also possible that Henry did indeed see Lucy that day. There is an unshown period of time when Henry is untied and eventually makes it to Lucy's (father's) house. She may have indeed seen him that day, and been the one to untie him.

Continuity mistake: When Henry is leaving the dock, Alexa waves with her right hand. Notice the watch. When Alexa grabs some butt from Doug, The watch is now on left arm. (01:23:10)

Ula: How do you think I get the dolphins to do double-flips and play with the white kids?

Question: If Lucy's father was the one that gave Henry the Beach Boys CD, how could Henry take that as a sign that Lucy remembers him?

Matty Blast

Chosen answer: Lucy's father previously told Henry that she only sings on days that she meets him - then you see a flash of her painting in the garage, singing a Beach Boys song. Right before he hands Henry the Beach Boys CD, he tells him that she's even singing again. Henry realized as he listened to CD - maybe if she is singing again, she is thinking of him, hence, remembering him. (It happens to be the same song that she was singing in the garage that's playing on the boat when Henry turns around to go back. It's called 'Wouldn't It Be Nice').

Why wouldn't the father just tell him directly "hey she's been painting and singing again, so she probably might remember you"
