My favorite

I usually don't like romantic comedies because it's the same old cheesy plot and "comedy" seems to be lack of a better term. For some reason, I find The Wedding Singer different from all those other films.
Reason #1: It's actually a comedy, whoever I watch it with always ends up laughing eventually...and I mean actual laughter, not a forced chuckle some of us feel we need to get out there to give the film some credit.
Reason #2: The story is original, first of all it takes place in the 80's and is very nostalgic whereas most romantic comedies are set in modern times which makes them all the more reason to be banal. Also, the plot sparks a different reaction from audiences who are used to the same old thing.
And reason #3: Adam Sandler. Everyone knows him as the immature goofball who can't act only because his previous films have given him that reputation. The Wedding Singer kind of said "In your face!" to critics when he portrayed a sensitive and likeable character without going "SHUT UP!" every 10 minutes. And a film in which Sandler can be ENJOYABLE is something people feel they just gotta see. And, in my opinion, it is worth the watch.
There it is. You can either take my word for it or just ignore this whole review. This isn't just my favorite romantic comedy (I don't have a lot of those) but it's also my favorite movie. So just give it a chance, or else give it another chance. I don't think you'll regret it...but that's just me. **** Once again, that's just me.
