The Wedding Singer Submit your own review for this movie

The Wedding Singer

Adam Sandler plays goofy suburban wedding singer Robbie Hart. Drew Barrymore plays Julia the spiky waitress who serves tables at the bar mitzvahs and weddings where he performs. When he is jilted at the altar, he plans to convince Julia that she's marrying the wrong man. But that's not as easy as it sounds. Sandler is at his most likeable in this charming romantic comedy.

The Wedding Singer When the hero sings to the heroine of growing old with her and tending her arthritis you know this romantic comedy, set in 1985, is a touch offbeat. More often than not, this quality actually works against the film. When jilted wedding singer Adam Sandler picks out the least good-looking people at the reception and tells them they'll never find love, the scene leaves a sour taste. Mercifully, such elements are outweighed by the film's romantic drive and feelgood feeling and by a truly charming performance by Drew Barrymore as the waitress for whom goofy Sandler is clearly destined to fall - despite the fact they're with different (equally obnoxious) partners. Allen Covert is also good - and never unsympathetic - as Sandler's slimebag friend, still stuck in the 1970s, and Christina Pickles nearly steals the show as a little old lady Sandler is teaching to sing. Enjoy.

Sandler is on top form in this great comedic classic. Funny, sweet and strangly charming film that showcases Barrymore's true comedic talent which like most classics has a certain extra somthing as well as showing a pair that truly work well together.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore put their careers into super stardom because of this brillantly funny and brillantly acted film. They try to recreate it in the movie 50 First Dates but nothing compares to the orginal.
