REALISTIC reincarnation of the flamboyant 1980s!
As a teenager of the 1980s, I totally enjoyed watching the Wedding Singer and reliving a moment in time when big hair, colorful clothing, flamboyant music and funny dancing were all the rage. I have to give credit to the writer and director who were able to capture just the right atmosphere of the 80s -- an almost reincarnation of the 80s -- and make a hilarious but charming, romantic film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

This is Adam Sandler's best role and he deserves better roles NOT roles catered to 10 year old boys. Hollywood has a real talent in Sandler, but you gotta give him diverse roles. It's great to see Sandler play a different role. He plays a sensitive, shy wedding singer who is left waiting at the altar on his wedding day. From that awful experience, he attempts to cope in many different ways, but luckily for him, he meets Julia played by the adorable and talented Drew Barrymore who is the warm, understanding and friendly waitress engaged to a "Miami Vice" wannabe. Not to give this movie away, but sparks do fly and both Sandler and Barrymore have just the right chemistry to make this movie work and it does!

From the music, to the big hair, the funny dancing, the 80s atmosphere and the talent and charm of both Sandler and Barrymore, I recommend this movie to anyone who would like to live or relive my generation.

The Wedding Singer...PRETTY GOOD!
The Wedding Singer is a great romantic comedy that takes place in 1985. Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is a wedding singer, that was supposed to get married, but the marriage was called off when his fiance' never showed up. But he finds a girl name Julia (Drew Barrymore) which he likes better anyways. But you see, the problem is that Julia is supposed to get married also, but to a man who cheats on her, yet she doesn't know that. The story ends with the two, Julia and Robbie falling in love and geting married. Some of the DVD feature's are: Karaoke Bar (including Billy Idol-White Wedding, Sugar Hill Gang-Rapper's Delight, and a bunch of other 80's songs). The DVD has both widescreen and fullscreen versions of the film, 80's music trivia game, cast boigraphies and filmograhies, and a wedding album (photo gallery of the movie). If you like good, clean, fun comedy, i definetely recommend this DVD!!!

Adam Sandler's smartest movie? Yes, and by far his best!
This was one of Adam's breakthrough films before pointless blockbusters like "Waterboy" and "Big Daddy". While those films have a few funny moments and are OK, this one is very cleaver and showcases Sandler as a human being rather than just some dumb hick or just some loud bastard.

"The Wedding Singer" is about Robbie Hart, an average guy, that lives a simple suburban life with a hot fiancée and a cool gig in the mid eighties. Life is great until his lady dumps him. He's crushed and his career as a weeding singer goes down the toilet as he sinks into a depression that includes listening to The Cure. Sounds like a great depression. Anyway, a young girl named Julie (Drew Barrymore) helps him to get his life back together. The only problem is that she is engaged to a smug yuppie loser. So what's going to happen. Well, like in most eighties comedies, the hero will try to win over the girl even if it takes the help of Billy Idol!

Not the most original story in the world, and the chemistry is only OK between Drew and Adam, but its really all the eighties jokes that make this film so very funny. People have niches and dress in styles. People dress up like "characters" like Madonna, Don Johnson, Boy George and even the guy from Flock of Seagulls. The combination of an awesome soundtrack and '80s clichés, not to mention great acting (Steve Buschemi's cameo steals the show) make the film a winner. Adam can really act like a normal romantic and this movie proves it. Too bad so many people prefer him as a moron. Comedy lovers and Sandler fanatics unite and buy this film.
