\”This is a quite a jolly rom-com with Adam Sandler as a rather cheesy wedding singer ("Robbie") engaged to "Linda" (Angela Featherstone). When things don't quite go to plan on his wedding day, he begins to develop a friendship with "Julia" (Drew Barrymore) who is herself engaged to the rather unpleasant "Glenn Guglia" (Matthew Glave). Using a cracking soundtrack from the 1980s, the film tells the story of the ups and downs of their burgeoning romance. Sandler is the nice guy here, and from the start he has the audience rooting for him; he's one of those folks who'd step into the path of a Chieftain tank to rescue a kitten; and his singing coach scenes with the elderly Ellen Dow ("Rosie') just make you want to take him home to your mother for ice cream and cookies. Alexis Arquette steals it for me, however, as the would be Boy George and there's a fun cameo at the end from Billy Idol. Lots of big hair, shoulder pads and a gently nostalgic reminder of the days when the music was certainly much more memorable than the film!”
