Not bad...that is, if Adam Sandler wasn't in it.

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 1999)

The idea overall was cute, heartfelt, if just a little predictable and by-the-numbers: A wedding singer is abandoned by his fiance/he meets and falls in love with a bussgirl at one of the parties/unfortunately, the bussgirl is about to marry someone else and so on... You'll have no problem guessing the ending, but if the content on a whole was done the right way and made watchable (and at least somewhat interesting) there's no problem. Even a grouchy critic like me would give this type of genre a chance, regardless of how sickly sweet it is. But there's a problem here:
Adam Sandler's presence. Yes, he's the star of the movie, but he simply takes what little there is and flushes it all down the toilet. He's just not funny. Imagine a version of Pauly Shore just a little bit more manlike and mature, and you got em'. In a nutshell. His fake childish way of talking: Not funny. His vocal expressions (period): Not funny. His vandalism of inanimate objects:(When he screamed and broke that window at the wedding. Have you guessed it yet?) Not funny. If you're a fan of simple Adam and just itching to see this movie, look's like my advice is just going to fall on deaf ears. If this is your first Sandler outing, be forwarned: "Crude", "tasteless", and "tiresome" summarizes all of his personas.
