Corrected entry: The film starts around November 13th. Then Henry takes a long time to get Lucy's attention in various ways etc and the movie is called 50 first dates, so you'd think at least 50 days pass along with the days where he doesn't succeed with her. Shouldn't there be Christmas decorations or something similar? It would be safe to assume that Christmas would be very close by the time Henry is ready to leave.

Correction: No there shouldn't be decorations, because they don't want Lucy to find out what happened. Also, the movie is called "50 First Dates" as a way of hinting at the plot, it doesn't literally mean there is 50 first dates. And, even if it was literal, they obviously skipped many of the days to cut back on time, so the holidays were left out intentionally.

Corrected entry: When Henry is pretending to be tied up, Lucy's father drives by and tells him to go to their house. When Henry gets to the house, Lucy's father tells Henry that he's figured out that she only sings on days she has met Henry. It then shows her singing. She hasn't met him yet that day, so why is she singing?

Correction: Although it is possible that this is is a plot hole, it is also possible that Henry did indeed see Lucy that day. There is an unshown period of time when Henry is untied and eventually makes it to Lucy's (father's) house. She may have indeed seen him that day, and been the one to untie him.

Continuity mistake: The dark roots of Lucy's hair can be seen off and on throughout the movie. One day she will have dark roots, and the next day she won't.

Henry: Ula! Get back to cleaning the pool! And if that's one of your special brownies, don't let any of the dolphins eat that.
Ula: How do you think I get the dolphins to do double-flips and play with the white kids?

Trivia: When Henry (Adam Sandler) is at the golf course with Ula and his kids, everyone except Henry is teeing off in the same style as Happy Gilmore (also played by Sandler) in "Happy Gilmore" (1996). When Henry sees this, he replies, "That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen."

Question: When Henry and Lucy are getting intimate and Henry sees the two dolphins in the tank watching, he calls them Mary Kate and Ashley. I know who they are but why does he refer to them like this?

Answer: Probably because it was the dolphins' names. Someone probably thought the dolphins looked alike and that it would be funny if they were named after the famous twins.
