50 First Dates 2 picks up nearly two decades after the original, with Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) and Lucy Whitmore (Drew Barrymore) living a quirky, love-filled life in Hawaii. Lucy’s memory condition has improved slightly thanks to new medical treatments, but she still wakes up each day with no recollection of the previous day. Henry, ever the devoted husband, has updated his daily video diary for Lucy, now using VR and AI to help her relive their life together.
The couple faces a new challenge when their teenage daughter, Emma, starts showing signs of a similar memory disorder. Henry and Lucy must navigate the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a child with Lucy’s condition, all while trying to keep their family together. The film balances heartfelt moments with the signature Sandler-Barrymore humor, as Henry devises increasingly creative ways to help both Lucy and Emma remember their lives.
A major twist occurs when Lucy undergoes an experimental procedure that could restore her memory permanently—but at a significant risk. The family must decide whether to take the chance, leading to a tearful climax where Lucy chooses love and acceptance over fear. In the end, the family finds joy in the present, cherishing each day as a new adventure.
