Production Notes

Amazon.com:
You're better off having been born after, say, 1965, if you really want to enjoy this corny romantic comedy and its abundant references to the MTV culture of the mid-1980s--and even then the odds are only 50-50 that you'll have a shamelessly good time. But a lot of people beat those odds, because The Wedding Singer was a surprise box-office hit when released in early 1998, and it resulted in Saturday Night Live graduate Adam Sandler's salary going ridiculously sky-high. It's a schizophrenic film about a seemingly schizophrenic wedding singer (Sandler) who's charmingly sweet to some people but a tongue-lashing maniac to others, probably out of frustration over his fading ambition as a wannabe rock star (not to mention Sandler's penchant for loud-mouthed lunacy). When he meets an admiring young waitress (delightfully played by Drew Barrymore), it's love at first sight, complicated by their pending marriages to much less appealing fiancés. The plot then contorts itself to accommodate this contrived will-they-or-won't-they? scenario, so you're better off ignoring the love story and focusing on the comedy, which is sporadic but occasionally hilarious. This is also a lighter, friendlier Sandler than moviegoers had seen before, which probably accounts for the movie's success. Toss in a fine supporting cast--including a show-stopping drunk act by indie-movie stalwart Steve Buscemi--and you've got the ingredients for a no-brainer that's ultimately more fun than it is annoying. --Jeff Shannon

- One of My Favorite Movies
As a child of the 80's, I've always loved this movie. This "Totally Awesome" addition has an extra scene and a great extra feature that will move you to the location in the film where each song on the soundtrack appears. Besides, Drew Barrymore is completely cute, and her chemistry with Sandler is legendary.

Rating:

- RELAX...Just Do It.
When this movie first came out, I thought it would be a major chick-flick. It turned out to be one of the funniest movies we have ever watched. My whole family enjoys it and we've watched it time and time again. In fact, the first disc became scratched and I had to replace it with this new DVD.
I'm telling you, if you liked the 80's, you will like this movie. They managed to capture the essence of the 80's. You would almost swear it was actually filmed at that time. Great soundtrack as well.

Rating:

- A Change of Pace for Sandler
In my opinion, this is one of Adam Sandler's best films. The on-screen chemistry he has with Barrymore comes forth as honest and truthful. It's a change of pace from his films such as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. He plays a more loveable character. The setting of the 1980's makes it a wonderful time period for cliches and inside jokes for those of us who grew up in the decade. The soundtrack is great too, capped off with a song that will make the heart of any woman melt. I would recommend this film who wants to see a light-hearted romantic comedy.
