DVD Synopsis

Mousse up your hair and pull your Missing Persons records out of mothballs for this romantic comedy set in that era of questionable fashion decisions, the '80s. In 1985, Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is a vocalist whose rock band stubbornly refuses to get off the ground. In the meantime, he makes a living playing wedding receptions, where his easy charm and ability to schmooze brings him a steady income. Robbie meets Julia Sullivan (Drew Barrymore) when she's working as a waitress at one of his wedding gigs; he immediately takes a shine to her, but since he's engaged, he keeps his distance. Robbie learns that Julia is also engaged; unfortunately, her fiancée Glen Gulia (Matthew Glave) is an obnoxious, self-obsessed yuppie who is chronically unfaithful to her. When Robbie gets stood up at the altar by his fiancée, it's a crushing blow to his ego, and he moves from working weddings to bar mitzvahs to avoid the humiliating issue of matrimony, and he considers giving up on music altogether. In time, Robbie realizes that he needs to step in and stop Julia from marrying Glen before the woman he's come to love ruins her life. Adam Sandler's former Saturday Night Live co-stars Kevin Nealon and Jon Lovitz make cameo appearances, as do Steve Buscemi and Billy Idol -- as himself. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

The 1980s return in all their gaudy glory in this hilarious romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, arriving on DVD in an extra feature-intensive disc from New Line Home Video that is sure to bring back those fond pastel memories of the Reagan era. Viewable in either the original 1.85:1 widescreen theatrical aspect ratio (enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs) or 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan, this disc also features optional closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 or French Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks and selectable English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Relive the "Me Decade" with five '80s karaoke songs, including Billy Idol's "White Wedding" and the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," an '80s music mania trivia game, biographies, filmographies, and a wedding album photo gallery. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Hated this movie and was disappointed in Drew Barrymore's participation. This was Adam Sandler's "last chance" with me and that's it. No more watching his movies; the only one I like at all is 50 First Dates and I absolutely hate the first scene in it.

I love this movie because of its music. For 80's music followers is a must. You are going to sing, dance, laugh and maybe cry watching it!

The wedding Singer is and amazing movie! A wonderful Romatic Comedy that tells a great story of two people in love that help eachother, and still keeps you laughing until the end!This movie is definitely Number 1 on my top ten. If you've never seen this movie... you really should, it's a classic! Everyone should have one at home.

This was an original comedy, therefore it will pass the test of time and remain a classic. The 80's nostalgia is perfect for Sandler and Barrymore.
It's heartwarming for the girls and funny as hell for the guys. It also marked the peak of Sandler's comedic talent. He hasn't been able to be truly funny since. Let's hope he doesn't become too serious like Jim Carrey
did recently.
