Drew Barrymore recalls her daughter and Adam Sandler's daughter watching '50 First Dates.'

Drew Barrymore recently shared a heartfelt moment on 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' revealing that her daughter and Adam Sandler’s daughter enjoyed a night watching their parents' 2004 romantic comedy, 50 First Dates.

During Monday's episode, Barrymore described the sweet surprise of seeing the girls bonding over the film, jokingly asking, “Don’t you get enough of me and your dad?” before expressing her joy at seeing them embrace her work.

Barrymore, mother to Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, noticed the girls’ happiness while they watched, calling the experience "wonderful" and "sweet." Sandler, who has two daughters, Sunny, 16, and Sadie, 18, shares a similar family-friendly dynamic in his work, making 50 First Dates a relatable film choice for both families. The moment illustrates how Barrymore’s kids connect with her past roles, which, as she noted, is rare and deeply meaningful for any parent.

The film, directed by Peter Segal, follows Barrymore’s character Lucy, who has anterograde amnesia, and Sandler’s Henry as he wins her love each day. Barrymore added during the show that the film's ending was almost different, making her nostalgic moment with the daughters even more special. Her revelation underscores the enduring legacy of 50 First Dates and its connection to Barrymore and Sandler’s families.
