Retro + great soundtrack + hope + romance + wit = one sparkling cinematic entertainment!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2009)

I loved this movie. Still do. A, because it's set in the 80s, and I was an 80s teen. The fads, toys, inventions, fashions, music. TOTAL memory flash! B, the soundtrack was totally awesome and had me dancing in my seat! C, It relied on witty remarks and characters' personalities for humor and comedy rather than crude jokes or gross-out/potty humor (I stopped thinking there was something funny about people going to the bathroom when I left the single-digit age group. There are a lot of moviegoers who aren't twelve years old anymore and, therefore, don't find flatulence to be funny). It was funny yet clever and sweet, and the only gross-out moment was the part with the drunk teen, and that was rather brief. D, it really touched on what it is to have a broken heart and was a very realistic look at those suffering through romantic sorrow. E, it gives unpartnered souls hope through the message of "everybody meets someone" F, Heads up, David Bowie fans! The Bowie reference in the dance club scene is sure to strike a chord in the hearts of those folks (such as myself) enchanted by the musical stylings of that particular gentleman. G, Billy Idol making a cameo as himself, complete with 80s spiked hairstyle and biker attire.
All in all, THE WEDDING SINGER really sparkles and I recommend it highly.
