The Wedding Singer (1998, DVD)

Movie Description
New Jersey wedding chanteur Robbie Hart loses all hope after being abandoned at the altar by his fiancee Linda. Enter Julia, an effervescent ray of light in the shape of a catering-service waitress, who enlists Robbie's help in planning her own wedding--to a sleazy, DeLorean-driving junk bond salesman who tomcats around and treats women like unfeeling slabs of meat. Can our hero win Julia over before she elopes to Las Vegas? Will Billy Idol save the day? And, most importantly, will the fluffy romantic storyline be completely overpowered by the weighty mid-1980s cultural references? THE WEDDING SINGER is cheesy fun for the nostalgically inclined. Steve Buscemi tries to steal the film in an uncredited role as a drunk best man, but that honor actually goes to Alexis Arquette, as "George."

      Good movie for both him and her

    If you like Adam Sandler (and Drew Barrymore), you'll love this movie. The Wedding Singer has some hysterical scenes mixed in with some sentamental 80's references.

    I also loved the soundtrack in this movie. There are tons of great 80's songs and a few cameos by random "has beens".

    Sandler is funny as always in this one, and Drew Barrymore plays her typical, likeable self.

    While it was not the greatest movie ever, it's one for the collection (I think).

    Barrymoore and Sandler have amazing on-screen chemistry. This films is set in the mid-80s and it features a lot of songs and situations that were prominent in that era.

    The Wedding Singer is full of smiles, tears, and great music. Although it's no one of my favorite films I highly recommend it.

    Final Verdict:

    4/5

    Rent or buy?: A must buy for Sandler fans

    Adam Sandler is such an awesome actor and all of his movies are great but this one in particular I really love! It's so funny and so original! He does a great job and plays his true funny/angry self!

    OMG, I loved this movie so much. This is the kind of movie that brings you in and you do not want to go home. You can feel the emotions and be a part of the passion. It will capture you and leave you with that "loving feeling" when it is over. I Highly recommend this move as a KEEPER! Everyone should own a copy of it and anyone in Love should watch it!

    What a great feel good movie! I loved the quirky ways of Adam Sandler. I also love the chemistry between Drew and Adam. This takes me back to the 80's. This happens to be my daughter's favorite film. She has this playing quite often with her friends. It's a fun feel good movie!
