Adam Sandler performs
) 
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.
This is easily my favorite romantic comedy of all time. My enjoyment never decreases no matter how many times I watch it. Adam Sandler may put out a mediocre movie now and again, but he proves his acting skills in The Wedding Singer. The adorable Drew Barrymore pretty much breaks the world record for cuteness, innocence, and preciousness in her performance. Robbie Hart (Sandler) is a wedding singer who is a week away from marrying his sweetheart Linda. Julia Sullivan (Barrymore) is a waitress who has moved to the city to be closer to her fiancée Glenn, whom she fears is never going to set a date for their wedding. Robbie loves his job and loves helping all sorts of people, but his world crashes down around him when his fiancée never shows up for the wedding and later tells him she cannot possibly marry someone who is just a wedding singer in a small town. Julia is overjoyed when Glenn finally agrees to get married, but she begins to question her feelings as she spends more and more time with Robbie, whom she helps bring out of his Linda-induced depression. Both Linda and Glenn are thoroughly shallow, unworthy people. Naturally, there are all kinds of complications involved in Robbie and Julia actually acknowledging and expressing their feelings for one another, and the movie culminates in Robbie's desperate attempt to find Julia before she gets to Las Vegas and marries Glenn.
The theme may sound rather commonplace, and it probably is, but this movie works wonderfully. The entire cast is wonderful, from an older lady who pays Robbie for singing lessons with meatballs as she learns a song to sing for her husband on their 50th wedding anniversary, to Robbie's strange friend who dresses like Michael Jackson and patterns his life after Fonzie. Robbie's androgynous, Culture Club-loving backup singer George is a real hoot, and Billie Idol (yes, that Billie Idol) ably adds his own unique touch to the movie. Not only is the storyline wonderful, refreshing, and touching, the whole film is a treasure trove of 1980s pop culture. The soundtrack is a veritable smorgasbord of 1980s music, featuring some of the decade's most popular and most distinctive songs. There are references to the pop culture of the time strewn everywhere, making The Wedding Singer a veritable tribute to my favorite decade. Hilarious, sentimental, and touching, this movie finds its way into my VCR every few months, and I enjoy it more and more every time I watch it.

It's 1985 and Robbie Hart (Adan Sandler) is the ultimate master of ceremonies...until he is left at the alter of his own wedding.
Devasted, he becomes a newlywed's worst nightmare-an enterainer who can do nothing but destroy other people's weddings.
It's not until he meets a warm-hearted waitress Julia (Drew Barrymore), that he starts to pick up the pieces of his heart.
A great Adam Sandler movie, very funny.
Great casting, with an excellent cameo from Billy Idol.
Well worth seeing!

Must-see film classic;shame about the extrasReview created: 06/04/09
by:
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

The ULTIMATE rom-com!
Great characters, genuine humour, truly touching moments and the pure beauty and horror of the 80s. Drew is as HOT as ever and every cast member entertains.. Sandler's "depressive Cure" phase is genius.
A small round of applause for Billy Idol too. Love it!

one of adams earlier films, which is probably where he was at his best. this film is the first time adam and drew meet on screen and you can see why he cast her in his later film 50 first dates. the two work off each other to the point of splitting your sides laughing. this has some of the funnyest visual gags i've seen of a sandler film, yet still maintains the romantic story line. to watch this film you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll no dout laugh some more. this is a must for any comedy fan. you must add this to your collection!!

greati love this film because it has a great mixture of emotion and great comedy. the love song he sings goes from all slushy (the cure) to "somebody kill me please!" the change is because he was jilted at the altar and how he fits it into the song is just great and so funny.
its a good story with a happy ending. just a good feel good film, highly recommended.

This movie is extremely funny it is a must see in the comedy genre. Adam sandler at his best. This film has a good sound track throughout. The film is set in the 80s so expect some comedy nostalgia with the help of guest star billy idol.

Excellant Funny FilmA funny feelgood film, you will enjoy even if you not a teenager of the 80's ! Still makes me laugh when watched several times even if its at the fashion- some of which I used to wear. If you enjoyed the film go and see the musical.
