Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Christine Taylor
Rating: 7/10
Set in the 1980's, this romantic comedy features around a wedding singer named Robbie (Sandler) who falls for an engaged colleague, Julia (Barrymore). Sharing the same feelings, Julia, oblivious to her fiancé's cheating, continues to plan her wedding. Fate must intervene to rectify the situation and comply with true Rom-Com style.
Firstly, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore as co-stars are comically matched to perfection, as further shown in 50 First Dates - one of my favourite films in this genre! They deliver some brilliant lines throughout with some of the funniest moments being conveyed through sheer expression. Also, cameos from Billy Idol coupled with Sandler's surprising good singing makings this film thoroughly enjoyable for all - especially due to the high quantity of '80s music playing in most scenes - which you can't fault!
My only criticism? That the supremely stupid 'mullet' haircut is prominent.
Summary
- An enjoyable movie for all
- Do not watch if you are not a Sandler fan - his classic humour is involved in abundance!
- '80s music throughout can never be wrong
This review made me laugh! Now I don't usually dig romcoms, as you know, however this film is good! And I dunno, the mullet's pretty cool ;)
