    Despite that I was born in a year when I didn't get to experience these crazy trends featured in the film, I enjoyed the movie, nonethless.

    I'm not a big fan of rom-coms because usually they are neither romantic or funny. I have to say though that i do like the pairing of Barrymore and Sandler. This is an average film made much better thanks to Billy idol!

    If you love 80s cheese, this is a must see. Julia and Robbie are engaged to other people, but are they doing the right thing? Drew and Adam make a great on-screen couple.

    "He's gonna party like it's 1985."

    In 1985, Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is a vocalist whose rock band stubbornly refuses to get off the ground. In the meantime, he makes a living playing wedding receptions, where his easy charm and ability to schmooze brings him a steady i...( read more)ncome. Robbie meets Julia Sullivan (Drew Barrymore) when she's working as a waitress at one of his wedding gigs; he immediately takes a shine to her, but since he's engaged, he keeps his distance. Robbie learns that Julia is also engaged; unfortunately, her fiancée Glen Gulia (Matthew Glave) is an obnoxious, self-obsessed yuppie who is chronically unfaithful to her. When Robbie gets stood up at the altar by his fiancée, it's a crushing blow to his ego, and he moves from working weddings to bar mitzvahs to avoid the humiliating issue of matrimony, and he considers giving up on music altogether. In time, Robbie realizes that he needs to step in and stop Julia from marrying Glen before the woman he's come to love ruins her life.

    Review
    The eighties were a musical and cultural low, so setting a film within that era is a hazardous, some would say foolish, exercise. Somehow, however, The Wedding Singer manages to overcome the problems of a dreadful soundtrack, awful clothes, and a truly cringe-making cameo from Billy Idol, and provide a largely enjoyable couple of hours. The main reason for this is the excellent performance of the two leads, Sandler does pathos and bitterness in an appealing and yet un-sugary manner, and Barrymore is equally adept at naive and insecure. Together they manage to portray a couple whose destiny is obvious to everyone but themselves, in a very convincing manner.

    A couple of quite hilarious scenes (particularly the table full of losers), a couple of nice supporting performances and on the whole a pleasurable if not exceptional film.

    Cutest movie ever! How did it take me over twelve years to see it? From the song selection to the costumes and production design, this movie gets everything right. And then there is Adam Sandler's surprisingly understated performance, and his undeniable chemistry with Drew Barrym...( read more)ore. And the little twist on the cliche chase-to-the-airport ending was adorable.
