"The Wedding Singer" is Adam Sandler's greatest work.

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 1999)

"The Wedding Singer" is Adam's greatest work (so far) simply because it is unlike "Billy" or "Happy" or "Airheads" or "Shakes the Clown." He is portraying his serious side in this film, a side that has definite concerns about love, emotions, and destiny. Robbie Hart is such a break from any previous character, and I applaud Adam for taking a chance and making such an unconventional film. "The Wedding Singer" is a movie that deals with love, not sex; the message is clear and the plot is successful. Also, all the hype we've heard about Drew Barrymore changing her lifestyle and become a new person is finally brought to life in her depiction of Julia Sullivan. Julia is our first glimpse of the new Drew, and her role in "The Wedding Singer" changed me from a person who was glad to see her die in the first five minutes of "Scream" to a person who considers her to be a sure-footed and accomplished young actress. And one more thing-- "The Wedding Singer" made the 80's cool again. Thank you, Adam!
