50 First Dates: Original Ending Revealed!
28 Aug
Summary
- An original ending for 50 First Dates had Lucy in Alaska.
- Lucy's original ending involved a husband and daughter.
- Adam Sandler's involvement changed the film's tone.
An alternate, more bittersweet ending for the popular romantic comedy 50 First Dates has been revealed. In this original conclusion, Lucy would have awakened on a boat in Alaska, presented with a video detailing her life, which included a husband and child. She would then greet her family.
The film's tone and setting were significantly altered when Adam Sandler joined the project. Initially conceived with a more dramatic narrative, Sandler's involvement transformed it into the lighthearted romantic comedy widely recognized today, highlighting the strong chemistry between him and co-star Drew Barrymore.
Barrymore shared this detail on her talk show, contrasting it with the film's actual ending. The current version sees Henry visiting Lucy in a hospital, where she recognizes him from her drawings, a poignant moment that still resonates with audiences.
The revealed original ending also featured Lucy waking up to a video about her life, including a husband and daughter. While the current ending is considered bittersweet due to Lucy's ongoing anterograde amnesia, the original concept offered a different, potentially more emotional, conclusion.
