Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

'The Wedding Singer' is a sweet movie with some funny moments. Nothing more, nothing less. It tells the story about a wedding singer Robbie (Adam Sandler) who was left alone by the altar on his own wedding by a terrible girl. With her character you can't understand why he liked her in the first place. The same goes for Julia (Drew Barrymore). She is about to marry a guy named Glenn (Matthew Glave) who is even more terrible. Of course Robbie falls in love with her and she with him, but things go wrong until the end of the movie arrives.

It is a simple story but like I said it is sweet as well. Drew Barrymore is good here, she makes it even more sweet that it is, and Sandler is not as annoying as he normally is, although he has some strange anger-scenes. Christine Taylor has a nice role as Julia's sister Holly and there are other character you can like here.

If the simple story doesn't bother you and you like romantic comedies you will definitely enjoy this movie. If you are not a big fan there is a possibility you like it a little less. I enjoyed it.
