I just tried to watch this movie. Is it ever horrible! Fast forwarded most of it before giving up.

On the PQ side, I noticed this title has SO much edge enhancement it's actually distracting in places. Could be the worst EE I've ever seen on a Blu-ray. Everyone's head has a line drawn round it. There's a wide shot of a sailboat where you can see this black fuzzy edge against the white sails. Ok, nuff said.

Generally, if I am watching a movie, I don't just hit fast forward. What were you fast forwarding to? Just skipping portions of the story or what?

For a chick flick it's better than sitting through anything starring Matthew McConaughey...

Since you asked ... In an impatient mood I'll watch a bit, if boring fast forward to an arbitrary location, watch a bit more, repeat. Occasionally I get hooked midway through, in which case I re-start from the beginning and watch the film properly.

I do this as a time-efficient way of "auditioning" lots of titles, especially comedies (research interest of mine), for maximum exposure to content. Esp. for all the garbage in HD on cable. I'm a swine rooting around in the dirt for the rare truffle.

I'm generally looking for decent comic premises, good writing (line for line as well as plot & scene construction) and interesting performances. In this case I stopped for Dan Ackroyd's appearance, then switched it off after a perfectly stupid scene featuring a guy with a 10-second memory. As far as I'm concerned 50 First Dates is Memento being misplayed for trite laughs. But that's just a matter of personal preference.

Fun movie...REALLY OLD Blu-Ray.

I think I paid 10 dollars for it brand new.

For what it is, I love it.

I never got into this movie, so I just skipped it the BD release.

Does anybody have the UPC code for the Widescreen DVD version of this film? Mine must have been misprinted because it doesn't have it printed on the back.
