Editorial Review:
Don't just think of The Wedding Singer as an Adam Sandler comedy--though it most certainly is that. But also think of it as the tip of the wave of the 1980s nostalgia craze that followed on the heels of the 1970s nostalgia craze. Set in the post-disco, new wave era, the film tells the story of Robbie Hart (Sandler), the king of small-town wedding-band singers, who once dreamt of being a rock star. But his contentment with life shatters when his fiancée stands him up at the altar. After wallowing in self-pity (by musically attacking the next wedding couple he serenades) and swearing off women, he helps a new friend, Julia (Drew Barrymore), get ready for her impending nuptials--only to find himself falling in love with her. If you're a Sandler fan, you'll enjoy him as an actual adult, though a wise-cracking one. And dig all those kooky '80s reference jokes and that greatest-hits-of-early-MTV soundtrack. --Marshall Fine
The Wedding Singer [Region 2] Reviews:
One of Sandlers best 
2009-10-30 - Not a big Adam Sandler fan but this is a good family movie. You can watch it over and over and never get board.
Another must have DVD.
Watch it more than once
2009-10-27 - All I can say is ANYONE who grew up in the 80's needs to see this, Lol! You will love it!!!!!!
Wedding Singer
2009-10-11 - A must see for all fans of the 80's . Billy Idol was great!!! Best line in the movie "They were cones"
cliche, but fun! 
2009-08-14 - Though there's quite a bit of typical... it's still fun to watch, and the songs are cute!
Been there, done that 
2009-07-20 - The Bottom Line:
Though perhaps The Wedding Singer deserves points for being less Adam Sandler-y than your standard Adam Sandler movie, it gets all those points deducted for being a stupid, formulaic romantic comedy that skimps on both the romance and the comedy in favor of beyond-cliche sitcom situations and oh-so-tired 80s faux nostalgia: please skip this boring paint-by-numbers film and watch something that will at least offer one surprise.
2/4
