Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't help but loving it!
Review: The only movie I can watch over and over and over and over again! A little on the sugary sweet side, but we all need it every once and a while!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good movie
Review: It's hard to believe but this is an actually good Adam Sandler movie. Even though the plot and the ending you can smell a mile away, it's a nice entertaining watch.

Adam Sandler plays Robbie Hart, a wedding singer who wants to be a rock star. He's devastated when his fiance, Linda, leaves him at the altar. Things turn around when he starts falling for Julia Sullivan(Drew Barrymore). The only problem is Julia's engaged to a shallow, unfaithful man.

One thing that the writers used for laughs is our knowledge of pop culture after the movie is taken place. For example: one woman tells Robbie and Julia they're gonna be an everlasting couple like Donald and Ivana Trump and Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson although we all know how they turned out. Or when Robbie sees Linda in a Van Halen t-shirt saying "now take it off and you'll jinx the band and they break up" which is partly true. David Lee Roth just quit/fired.

Adam brings in a good performance in this by not actually being kind of dumb. Drew is very likeable in this. Has a girl-next-door quality. Even Billy Idol brings in a good cameo.

This is a good rental, cause it will get kind of old on repeated viewings.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not At His Finest
Review: This Adam Sandler movie is by far the worst one he has been involved in, close second would be "Little Nikki". This movie tried to be a little too cute while trying to keep the Sandler type of humor working throughout. I still gave it three stars because it is an Adam Sandler movie and because there were a couple of funny sceens in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: watch out here he comes!
Review: Sandler is superb as big-haired Robbie, a small-town guy who sings covers at weddings in 1985. Ironically, he is jilted at the altar, because his fiance Linda realizes she is about to be hitched to the wedding singer (she says the last 2 words with disgust. To which Robbie yells, "That would have been helpful to know YESTERDAY!")

Depression threatens to sink his career when he meets Julia, a bumbling waitress who works at weddings. Alas, she is engaged to the unworthy Glen. Robbie helps her plan her wedding, all the time falling in love with her.

This is cute and romatic, but full of 1980s gags (witness Glenn's "Back-to-the-Future" DeLorean) and an old granny rapping the classic Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight". It's hilarious and charming, true to classic Sandler form.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wedding Singer
Review: Adam Sandler made a serious stretch for this role and he pulled it off! The Wedding Singer is set in 1984 and Sandler stars as Robbie Hart, the Wedding Singer. It's a non stop comedy, with fun wholesome comedy, 80's nostalgia (a lot of 80;s tunes in this one, DUH!) and a cute love story. It also stars Drew Barrymore as Julia, Sandler's love interest.

This is probably one of my most favorite Sandler movies because it was very funny but at the same time very cute because of the love story and unlike Big Daddy, the love story didn't overshadow the story or the comedy and it kept you laughing until the end.

PLus how could you forget the music in this movie? Let's go down the list... You Spin Me, Holiday, True, Ladies Night (sung by cameo appearance Jon Lovitz) and of course Do You Want to Hurt Me? The soundtrack alone was enough for me to see this movie (seeing as how I sadly remember the 80's).

And Barrymore compluments Sandler on screen very well. Their on screen chemistry was very strong in this movie and it felt a little more natural than Sandler and Faruza Balk in The Waterboy. That and the honest to God funniest scene in the movie is done by Barrymore (when she's standing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress crying about the man she's going to marry).

This is a great date/comedy movie. A lot of laughs and a very happy nice ending to the movie that is very sweet. Check this out because you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: deja vu
Review: like a lot of reviewers here i also liked the film because it reminded me of the rockin' 80's. the hair, the polyester clothes, the cool music: it's all there. sandler's pretty funny, too. i especially liked his uplifting rendition of madonna's 'holiday!', and his manic-depressive, love-hate song. where can i get the soundtrack to that tune?!

good stuff

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Back to the time when I was young.
Review: I loved this film. It was not because the script was great. At times that was just awful. No, I loved this film because it brought me back to my youth. It was great to see the clothes and the hairstyles of the old days. And the film brought me beyond that: It brought back memories of old heros like Miami Vice Don Johnson (who is stereo-typed by Julia's fiance), at the same time as it brought up other issues that seemed important in 1985.

I think this film was made for my generation though. My brother, who is nearly as old as I am, liked it, and so did his wife, while my parents turned it off half way through, and my teenager just thinks of this film as another example of the bad taste of the "fossile generation".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Adam Sandler's best movies
Review: I saw this movie on TV and decided to buy it. The music is excellent. Drew Barrymore and Sandler really helped make this a great romantic musical comedy worth seeing over and over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERRY FUNNY!
Review: This is an ezcellent film from Adam Sandler. I was wondering how a film with him as a wedding singer and Drew Barrymore as a waitress-type person could be great and halarious. I WAS WRONG! This film was excellent. It has a decesnt plot with a beggining, a middle, and an end. It's a love triangle, but it's done very well. SPOILER: The ending, after Adam Sandler thinks she's happy with that guy, and Adam doesn't tell her that her fiancee has another girlfriend, and the man rushes, and Drew acts like he doesn't know what the hurry is, and all of these problems thay wan't to tell each other, but instead, they kiss and get married. That was so quick, something that should have been resolved in 3-5 mins. is in a kiss? Other than that, I was happy with the film. IT WAS HALARIOUS! I really enjoyed it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie!
Review: The Wedding Singer is the type of movie that can be viewed numerous times and still be enjoyable. This is not your typical romantic comedy; it is full of great 80s music, wonderfully tacky set designs, and Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are at their best here. The picture and sound quality on the DVD is excellent and there are many fun extra features included. Definitely one to add to any DVD collection!
