everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Best movie of this year hands down!

Blistering performances.

I love this movie and don't mind watching again. It is funny and romantic and witty. I love Adam Sandler's musical talents. I love that he sings and writes songs. I absolutely love the ending of this movie. It is so romantic. Drew and Adam do have such amazing chemistry. They are both very likeable and charming. It was also great to see Billy Idol. I love to listen to the song over and over again. I wish someone would serenade me with that song. It just makes my heart melt. Adam Sandler is one of my favourite comedians but this is about his best movie ever.

This is probably Adam Sandler's best film. You get the impression he is comfortable in this suburban world, and his character is not a total idiot; more an Everyman who's frustrated by his situation. It's a solid plot about how a wedding singer is engaged to the wrong woman, and who pines for unrealistic stardom, not valuing the great life he already has in his small town. The hairstyles and clothes are suitably bizarre. But for me, as a teenager of the 1980s, the real star is that glorious music. As well as pure pop, there's indie cool (Elvis Costello's Every Day I Write the Book), pounding disco (You Spin Me Round), and traditional Broadway (That's All). It's not pretty, it's not cool, but you marvel at how silly but catchy all those tunes were. I love the scene where Drew Barrymore bops along to David Bowie's strange hit China Girl on her Walkman. I like how this movie is very suburban. It doesn't pretend to be high class or pretty. It pokes fun at ordinary lives but it also celebrates them. There are some weird aspects -- the grandmother character and the Boy George lookalike -- but they are fun. There is never any serious doubt about the film's ending, and although the final scene is very cheesy, it's fun. What better symbol of the 1980s could you have than the real Billy Idol, as an unlikely matchmaker?

My attitude towards "The Wedding Singer" has really taken a dive over the years. I remember when everyone was talking about it in high school, and it was pretty good. This was back when ironic gag-a-minute '80s humor was funny. Now, it just seems half-assed (a DeLorean rolls up playing the "Miami Vice" theme). There are still a couple of good laughs here and there: Jon Lovitz, the rapping granny, Frank Silvero), but the romcom formula is being played to the fullest here - two destined lovers kept apart by misunderstandings, miscommunications, etc. - and Sandler's this ridiculously sensitive milquetoast. Were it not so syrupy, this would be easier to stomach.5/10

The Wedding Singer is a good movie with a good storyline and a great comedic cast.It certainly isn't Adam Sandlers finest movie,but it's not his worst either,there are several funny scenes throughout but there are also a lot of misses.This is the first movie to star Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore,and from the very first scene you can see and almost feel the amazing chemistry between them and it is certainly the movies highlight.The thing that bothered me the most about this movie is that it is set in the eighties but rarely makes reference to it (other than the music),it makes a small reference every now and again,like a mention of Dallas,to remind us it's set in the eighties,but I think it should have made constant references instead of just a few at times to remind the audience.There are some great cameos and they are certainly some of the funniest parts,particularity Steve Buscemi and Jon Lovitz's scenes.The Wedding Singer is nothing outstanding but it is very enjoyable and I would recommend it as a short and sweet comedy to watch if you ever see it on television and have some time to kill. A waitress catches the eye of a wedding circuit singer who is distraught after being dumped at the alter of his own wedding.Best Performance: Adam Sandler Worst Performance: Matthew Glave
