(PG) at 7.30 and 9.30 p.m. ? Neptune Theatre(PG13) at 2.30, 5.30, 7.30 and 9.30 p.m. ? Liberty Theatre (PG13) at 2.30, 5, 7.15 and 9.30 p.m. ? Little Theatre- In their follow-up to 1998's "The Wedding Singer," Adam Sandler plays a man in love with a woman (Drew Barrymore) who forgets everything that happens to her each day, so he has to reintroduce himself to her each morning.

She doesn't realise a year has passed since the accident that caused this ailment, and he endears himself to her by learning new and interesting ways of softening this shocking news each morning. There's a vomiting walrus to satisfy gross-out fans, but mostly this is a warm-and-cuddly comedy.

There seems to be no hope for Barrymore's condition, so instead of being a story about how Sandler cures her through love, "50 First Dates" is really about how one man learns to love someone even though she can never really love him back. PG-13 for crude and sexual humour and drug references. 91 min. Three stars out of four.

- If "Barbershop" was Ice Cube's "It's a Wonderful Life," the sequel is his "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." The 2002 original cast Ice Cube as a successor to James Stewart and Frank Capra's George Bailey, a malcontent quietly seething over the confines of the family business until circumstance teaches him the richness of his life.

The equally warmhearted follow-up puts Ice Cube in the footsteps of Stewart and Capra's Jefferson Smith, a naive idealist battling corrupt business and political forces in the name of communal decency. It's another winning formula, maintaining the original's mix of sweetness and urban attitude. With Cedric the Entertainer, Queen Latifah, Sean Patrick Thomas, Eve and Troy Garity. PG-13 for language, sexual material and brief drug references. 98 minutes. Three stars out of four.
