This is a quite a jolly rom-com with Adam Sandler as a rather cheesy wedding singer ("Robbie") engaged to "Linda" (Angela Featherstone). When things don't quite go to plan on his wedding day, he begins to develop a friendship with "Julia" (Drew Barrymore) who is herself engaged to the rather unpleasant "Glenn Guglia" (Matthew Glave). Using a cracking soundtrack from the 1980s, the film tells the story of the ups and downs of their burgeoning romance. Sandler is the nice guy here, and from the start he has the audience rooting for him; he's one of those folks who'd step into the path of a Chieftain tank to rescue a kitten; and his singing coach scenes with the elderly Ellen Dow ("Rosie') just make you want to take him home to your mother for ice cream and cookies. Alexis Arquette steals it for me, however, as the would be Boy George and there's a fun cameo at the end from Billy Idol. Lots of big hair, shoulder pads and a gently nostalgic reminder of the days when the music was certainly much more memorable than the film!

**The Wedding Singer is a sweet rom-com overflowing with Adam Sandler's over-the-top goofiness and charm.** Oh, the Adam Sandler mullet. What a thing of beauty 🤣. The Wedding Singer marks the first Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore team-up, and it's a wonderfully goofy and fun film. Once again, Sandler's buddies come together to play some outrageous characters, making a simple plot all the more entertaining. Barrymore seems to innately understand how to fit into the ridiculous world of an Adam Sandler movie and slightly ground the film while bringing her charm and comedy. The Wedding Singer will put a smile on your face from start to finish as Sandler's Robbie Hart warms your heart and makes you laugh with his craziness when he flies off the handle. Like any Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer ultimately focuses on love, family, and friends above all, making it an endearing entry in the Adam Sandler catalog of wacky rom-coms.
