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: When Drew is in her car at the restaurant, chastising Adam Sandler for faking not knowing how to read, a truck with the "Spam" logo drives by. The DVD commentary states the logo was added digitally later. When Adam's character runs back to his car, the logo is not on the truck anymore. (00:37:10 - 00:38:20)

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?

Question: What would happen if Lucy stayed up all night and she was with Henry? Would she all of a sudden forget him or would it happen very slowly?

Chosen answer: Apparently, she loses all her daily memories when she enters a full sleep, so keeping her awake would have given them a chance to see each other for longer periods.

Then my question is what about the naps during the day that she takes?

Naps would reset her brain like any other sleep.
