Drew Barrymore Reveals the Original ’50 First Dates’ Ending: There Was No Happily Ever After When the Movie ‘Was a Drama Set in Seattle’


Drew Barrymore reveals the original ending to "50 First Dates," which did not result in a happily ever after for the main characters.

Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler ‘s “ 50 First Dates ” is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and the former dropped a surprise revelation on her eponymous daytime talk show by sharing the original ending to the 2004 romantic-comedy classic. Back in 2019, “50 First Dates” director Peter Segal spoke to Entertainment Weekly about another alternate ending for the movie in which Henry makes a grand gesture in order to help with Lucy’s memory of their live story. “So by the time she finished panning with her eyes from left to right, she would come to rest on Henry, and unlike earlier in the movie when she woke up in bed with him and he was a stranger again and she screamed and had a reaction, it was a way of reintroducing her to her life again.”
