My favorite romantic comedy of all time
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.

Absolutely delightful
Adam Sandler has never been sweeter than in the role of slightly schizoid, romantically frustrated wedding singer Robbie, and in the role of Julia, Drew Barrymore has never been sweeter or more adorable, except perhaps, when she played Gertie in ET. This entertaining movie focuses on Robbie Hart, an ex rock singer who now plays mainly at weddings, much to the disgust of his shallow fiance Linda. When Linda literally dumps him at the altar, he is shattered - until he meets the appealing waitress Julia, who is engaged to the sexist, "Miami Vice" loving philanderer Glenn Ghoulia, a truly appalling individual and definitely not someone a mother would want her daughter to fall in love with. Set against the backdrop of the mid 1980's, this movie also shows viewers that the 1960's and 1970's weren't the only decades in history which posessed some weird trends and fads. The on screen chemistry between Sandler and Barrymore is given an added boost by the hilarious supporting cast, especially Christine Taylor, who plays a Madonna wannabe to perfection (the awful fashion sense and tartishness are completely intact), Steve Buscemi as a scene stealing drunk, and Alexis Arquette as a Boy George twin whose one song repertoire completely confounds the guests at two weddings and one bar mitzbah (what song is it, you ask. Youll have to watch the movie and find out!) I cannot recommend this movie enough, and I am not surprised at all that it was such a massive box office hit!

The Wedding Singer
What can you say? It's the perfect romantic story. Adam Sandler is the best and acts so well you want to tell Drew Barrymore to find someone else because you want him for yourself!
Picture this: a funny, good-looking wedding singer called Robbie Hart gets jilted at the altar by his bitchy fiancee Linda. As this happens, he befriends pretty waitress Julia Sullivan and they fall in love. Unfortunately, Julia is engaged to two-timing, self-important Glenn Gulia (Julia Gulia!!). But true love conquers all and with the help of Robbie's lovely personality and voice aswell as a little film magic, he and Julia get together. The film ends with a very touching and well-acted scene involving 80's bad boy Billy Idol.
I think this film is the greatest and inspired me to look at more Adam Sandler films (which I have to say, are excellent!) I know every word and think Adam Sandler rates higher than any actor at the moment - oh, did I mention he's very talented and gorgeous too!!
