In place of Barrymore, the film stars Kidman, but her character has an almost identical medical condition. ![]() I’m not saying that SJ Watson was inspired by 50 First Dates when he wrote his best-selling mystery novel, Before I Go to Sleep, but the movie adaptation certainly explores some of the shadowy avenues which Sandler’s comedy left open. ![]() She could accumulate memories as the day wore on, but when she went to sleep that night, those new memories were erased, and the following morning she was back to square one. As a result, she had a very peculiar form of amnesia: whenever she woke up in the morning, she believed it to be the morning of the accident, because she couldn’t remember anything that had happened since. The comedy in question, 2004’s 50 First Dates, co-starred Drew Barrymore as a woman who had suffered a head injury in a car accident a year earlier. Before I Go To Sleep is the first sexually charged thriller that could also serve as an unofficial sequel to an Adam Sandler comedy. ![]()
