Review:

Tim: This is a great film. Sandler is simply irresistable in this film, and Drew Barrymore gives one of her best performances to date. The Wedding Singer is filled with humor, romance, and good 80's music. This is a slightly different role for Adam Sandler, but he does incorporate some of his loudmouthed slapstick comedy. The film is so cleverly put together, adding in the perfect moments of humor.

This film combines excellent acting with great humor, and more romance than one might expect. The film features an amazing soundtrack, and some truly funny songs, for example, the song depressed song, "Somebody Kill Me" sung by Sandler.The airplane scene at the end of the film is one of my all time favorite scenes, and the song by Adam Sandler, "Grow Old with You" is tremendous. I get chills watching the last scene. I really love this movie, and recommend seeing it.
