The Wedding Singer , 1998

English

USA

Rating:7.0
Plot

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."

Critics Reviews
Variety

Director Frank Coraci and scripter Tim Herlihy work in concert to maintain a quality of farce rooted in human comedy.

The New Yorker

The movie is full of inspired touches as well as excessive ones: its appeal lies in the way its humor always treads the line between sendup and campy overkill.

Users Reviews

Very funny movie if you remember or know anything about the 80's. One of Adam Sandlers great movies that arent as childish as Billy Madison.

How they dressed up the scenes to make it look like 1985 was great. Wonderful acting from Adam Sandler, and Drew Barrymore. Very delightful film.
