Although some of Adam Sandler's previous films were tediously
unimpressive, I thoroughly enjoyed "The Wedding Singer."
In case you haven't guessed, Sandler portrays a wedding singer
named Robby Hart - who gets stood up at his own wedding. Despite
being bummed, he agrees to help Julia, (Drew Barrymore) a
waitress friend, plan her wedding. Soon, it becomes blatantly
obvious that they are falling for each other and will wind
up together at the end of the movie, but that doesn't stop
it from being side-splittingly funny all the way through.
At one point, Sandler's young nephew shows up just in time
to tell his ex-girlfriend, "You're a b----," just when Sandler's
trying to win her back. Many such hilarious scenes follow.
This having taken place in the eighties, there were a few
references to formerly big stars, and a laughable scene where
Julia's fiance brings home a CD player and she thinks it plays
records.
My rating: 4 stars
Rating: PG-13 (sex-related material and language)
