Love, 1980s Style!!
If you grew up in the 1980s, particularly if you were a teen or a bit older, then grab your Swatch watch, your leg warmers, your Members Only jacket and your Rubik's Cube and get ready for a fun trip back to the excessive 80s!!
Adam Sandler is Robbie Hart, a small town DJ, who does weddings (and the occasional bar mitzvah)on the weekends for sixty bucks a pop, while living in his sister's basement. Robbie, his feathered hair and all, is a good guy though who dreams of writing his own music and marrying his high school girlfriend, the ditzy, big haired and clunky-belted Linda.
While doing his DJ duties at one wedding, Robbie meets Julia Sullivan (Drew Barrymore), a waitress who is new to town and looking forward to marrying her own sweetheart, Don Johnson wannabe Glenn, who sole pursuit in life, besides emulating Miami Vice, seems to be chasing tail.
Linda decides, in a serious case of bad timing, that Robbie is too small town for her and doesn't show up to their wedding ceremony. Although he decides to give up wedding singing in a fit of depression, he agrees to help Julia plan her big day with Glenn. In the process, he falls in love with Julia.
Like most romantic comedies, although both leads are perfect for each other, neither realizes it at the same time and only a dramtic intervention at the end of the film will save the day (in this film, Billy Idol is involved!)
Look for hilarious bits by Steve Buscemi, as a drunken best man in the wedding that opens the movie, Alexis Arquette as the cross-dressing Boy George lookalike in Robbie's back up band, Christine Taylor as Julia's promiscuous cousin Holly who strives to be so much like Madonna and Ellen Dow, as a rapping grandmother who is taking singing lessons from Robbie.
The soundtrack is wonderful and the feel-good feeling this movie leaves you with will make you long again for the days of Spandau Ballet, John Hughes and Molly Ringwald.
Highly recommended.

one of my favs
I love this movie even though it is a chick flick. I love the music too.

Possibly Sandler's Greatest Film
The Wedding Singer is a film that is just fun to watch every time it is seen, it's also a film that gets you hooked after the first time. I think this movie surprised a lot of people and showed the world that Adam Sandler can move past movies like Billy Madison and do a comedy that has good songs, good jokes and love story that relates to everyone.

Sandler and everyone in the film does a great job in the film; it's funny when it's supposed to be and it's thoughtful when it is supposed to be. It's all because the script is just so good. I've never met anyone in person who hasn't liked this movie, those who never care for Sandler like the movie. I've been a fan of Adam's for a long time and I really do think this is one of his best movies.
