Continuity mistake: When Drew is in her car at the restaurant, chastising Adam Sandler for faking not knowing how to read, a truck with the "Spam" logo drives by. The DVD commentary states the logo was added digitally later. When Adam's character runs back to his car, the logo is not on the truck anymore. (00:37:10 - 00:38:20)
50 First Dates (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Peter Segal
Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Sean Astin, Rob Schneider
When leaving to Alaska, Henry receives a Beach Boys CD from Lucy's dad. He remebers Lucy's dad saying right before he left that Lucy was singing again and that she only sang when she thought of Henry. Henry turns back to Hawaii and goes to get Lucy at the institute. She doesn't remember Henry, but she has dreams of him everynight. Eventually, Lucy and Henry get married. Henry makes a tape for her to watch every morning. The movie ends when Lucy awakes on Henry's boat, in Alaska, and meets her daughter (Lucy's dad is there too).

Dr. Keats: Little Sammy Sosa's a bit shook up, but she'll be okay. She's watching the tape as we speak.
Henry: Good. How's my temporal lobe looking there, Doc?
Dr. Keats: Don't worry. You're not gonna suffer any short term memory loss. But was your head shaped like an egg before she hit you?

Dr. Keats: Note the intense overreaciton. That's the 'roids talking.
Trivia: When Henry (Adam Sandler) is at the golf course with Ula and his kids, everyone except Henry is teeing off in the same style as Happy Gilmore (also played by Sandler) in "Happy Gilmore" (1996). When Henry sees this, he replies, "That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen."
Question: What would happen if Lucy stayed up all night and she was with Henry? Would she all of a sudden forget him or would it happen very slowly?

Chosen answer: Apparently, she loses all her daily memories when she enters a full sleep, so keeping her awake would have given them a chance to see each other for longer periods.

Then my question is what about the naps during the day that she takes?
Naps would reset her brain like any other sleep.
