Leave your thoughts about The Wedding Singer.
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanThe plotting is simplistic but cute and the gags are consistently funny, particularly for anyone who grew up in the 1980s. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA sparkling romantic comedy, the kind of picture that glides by so gracefully and unpretentiously that it's only upon reflection that you realize how much skill, caring and good judgment had to have gone into its making. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordUneven and silly? Yes. Enjoyable? Most definitely. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisToo much of The Wedding Singer has a disconcerting reluctance, reigning itself in at unexpected moments and failing to capitalize on several potential jokes... |
| The New YorkerDaphne MerkinThe movie is full of inspired touches as well as excessive ones: its appeal lies in the way its humor always treads the line between sendup and campy overkill. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsIt's mushy and funny, slobbery and predictable -- but gee, I like it. |
| Boxoffice MagazineKim WilliamsonCalled on to replace some of his Happy Gilmore shtick with the emoting of a romantic lead, he does just that but in an unpersuasive on/off fashion. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonBarrymore and Sandler are lovely together, and the movie, set in 1985, was also among the first to tap into 1980s nostalgia. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestThe almost never-miss comedy makes up for the unexceptionnal storyline, and Frank Coraci happens to be a skillful mainstream director. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie is surprisingly strong despite its potentially flaky plot, combining '80s-style humor with a sincere romantic story. |
