The fact that Sandler is able to tone it down for the movie and play a likable guy certainly helps and his chemistry with Drew Barrymore is undeniable.

Synopsis: New Jersey wedding chanteur Robbie Hart loses all hope after being abandoned at the altar by his fiancee Linda. Enter Julia, an effervescent ray of light in the shape of a catering-service... New Jersey wedding chanteur Robbie Hart loses all hope after being abandoned at the altar by his fiancee Linda. Enter Julia, an effervescent ray of light in the shape of a catering-service waitress, who enlists Robbie's help in planning her own wedding--to a sleazy, DeLorean-driving junk bond salesman who tomcats around and treats women like unfeeling slabs of meat. Can our hero win Julia over before she elopes to Las Vegas? Will Billy Idol save the day? And, most importantly, will the fluffy romantic storyline be completely overpowered by the weighty mid-1980s cultural references? THE WEDDING SINGER is cheesy fun for the nostalgically inclined. Steve Buscemi tries to steal the film in an uncredited role as a drunk best man, but that honor actually goes to Alexis Arquette, as "George." [More]

Reviews for The Wedding Singer
Sandler and Barrymore make their characters vivid, alive, believable, and, above all, sympathetic. (Blu-ray Edition)
Funny and sweet at the same time, The Wedding Singer's comedy complements its romance, and vice versa; it may not be glamorous or flashy, but it's a heck of a good party.
One big love song to the '80s--a sweet, by-the-numbers romantic comedy that still climbs the charts because of crisp writing, a solid soundtrack, and cute performances from Sandler and Barrymore.
