You've got to love those 80's

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2000)

I love this movie. It's funny, it's endearing and it just makes you feel really good!! Don't expect a comedy classic or moving love story. This film is just triumphantly...nice. Sandler turns in a great performance as the Wedding Singer himself. None of that being-completely-stupid-to-get-cheap-laughs stuff here. The humour comes from the storyline and the setting (a completely believable rendition of 1985). It's not clever in any way - utterly predictable right from the start, but the cheesy humour and mushiness will win you over. Barrymore is perfect and the on-screen chemistry with Sandler is spot on. There are, admittedly one or two annoying bits, gags which don't quite come off - Billy Idol's cameo comes to mind, but overall if you want a feel good romantic comedy...look no further...
