Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
oiltrader Probably Sandler's finest hour.The chemistry between Drew and Adam is tangible.This movie gets better with age.Later gators,Peace out
merelyaninnuendo The Wedding SingerThere are some genuine laughs here and there that too especially when it mocks and points out its own petty script that is filled with cliched sequences which is sugar coated by innocent relation between the protagonists. Tim Herlihy's wafer thin script fails to provide anything to the audience resulting piling the load on the director Frank Coraci who is unfortunately okayish in his work. Adam Sandler; at the heart of it, won't disappoint (if one is palpable to its offered usual tone) with Drew Barrymore who too holds on to her part. The Wedding Singer is your typical rom-com that checks off each and every prediction of the viewers and fails to deliver anything beyond your low expectations.
NateWatchesCoolMovies I'm not usually very stoked on Adam Sandler movies, I'll say that right off the bat. I mean, there's a lucky select few that are either geniunly funny or have nostalgic value (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy and the absurdly fascinating Little Nicky come to mind), but he's just such a ball of cancer on screen it's hard to actively see his stuff. The Wedding Singer, however, is a really sweet little movie, and works well thanks to an impressive 80's soundtrack and the presence of Drew Barrymore, who frequently hangs around in Sandler's stuff. He plays Robbie Hart here, a singer who belts out the hits of the 1980's at weddings, parties, you name it. After being left at the alter by his fiancé, he spots waitress Julia (Barrymore), who uncannily seems to be working every event she is. The two form a bond, but she is engaged to another dude (Matthew Glave), who quickly is revealed to be kind of a jerkoff, prompting Robbie to go to great lengths to prove, and win Julia's heart. The film makes the absolute most of its setting, as any period piece should. The music is a delight, right down to the amusing dawn of the 'CD', and a great little cameo from a rock legend aboard an airline. Some of the usual troupe of Sandler disciples pop up here, including Christine Taylor, Allen Covert, Kevin Nealon, Peter Dante, Jon Lovitz and Steve Buscemi, who can be counted on to appear in pretty much any Adam flick you can think of. Sandler and Barrymore handle the comedic romance well and have decent chemistry (perhaps while they're always paired). It's light, sweet, carried on by the rockin soundtrack and detailed production design.
juneebuggy One of my all time favourite Adam Sandler movies -truthfully I don't watch anything he puts out anymore but this is a classic.I'm not sure how many times I've seen it over the years but whenever I catch it on TV it still always makes me laugh as I sing along. This movie is of course especially great if you grew up in the 80's and remember all the "awesome" music and hair. The music is a huge part of this movie but all the 80's references are fun and then there's Billy freaking Idol on the plane. Excellent secondary characters here too.The story is a little hokey following Robbie, a singer (now reduced to working weddings) and Julia a waitress, two very sweet people who are engaged to the wrong partners. They meet while working a bar mitzvah (I think) and become friends.Drew Barrymore is Julia the love interest, helping Robbie through a bad breakup and then getting him to help plan her wedding. These two have definite chemistry together and you really hope they'll get together. All it takes is Billy Idol. A guilty pleasure favourite movie for sure.
