Drew Barrymore Says Her and Adam Sandler’s Daughters Watched 50 First Dates Together

Drew Barrymore, 49, shared a heartwarming update about her friendship with Adam Sandler and their daughters. On the November 4 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she recounted a delightful movie night between their daughters.

"My daughter and Adam's daughter were watching 50 First Dates at my house the other night," Barrymore said to guests Emily Osment and Montana Jordan. She humorously questioned, "Why are you guys watching this? Don't you get enough of me and your dad?"

Her daughters' happiness was evident. Barrymore noted, "They were just so happy, and I thought, 'Oh, but this is so sweet and wonderful.'"

Barrymore has two daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, with ex-husband Will Kopelman. Sandler, 58, and his wife Jackie have two daughters, Sunny, 16, and Sadie, 18. Although Barrymore didn’t mention which daughters enjoyed the movie, Osment commented on the situation.

Osment, 32, shared that watching the film must feel "comforting" for Barrymore. "It is," Barrymore replied with enthusiasm. "Your kids often reject so many things about you. When you see them embracing something, you're like, 'Oh, how fantastic!'"

50 First Dates is a romantic comedy directed by Peter Segal. Barrymore stars as Lucy, an art teacher in Hawaii who suffers from anterograde amnesia after a car accident. Sandler plays Henry, a marine veterinarian, who pursues her despite her memory challenges.

In an earlier episode, Barrymore revealed interesting details about the film's development. Originally, it was intended as "a drama set in Seattle" with a different ending. The film concludes with Henry refreshing Lucy’s memory each day through a videotape that tells their love story.

However, Barrymore explained that the original conclusion was much darker. "The original ending featured Lucy telling Henry, 'You should go and live your life because this is no life here.' then he leaves." She illustrates how it ends with Henry returning to a restaurant and simply saying, "Hi, I'm Henry."

Ross Mathews, Barrymore's co-anchor, expressed appreciation, remarking, "Honestly, can I just tell you: Thank you. Thank you for changing it."
