This is a must have comedy, ideal for when your feeling a little blue. Sandler and Barrymore appear to be the new Spencer and Hepburn, and the chemistry is there to be seen. They have worked together on other projects since, not least in 50 First Dates, but this is the pick so far. Some hilarious moments, in particular Sandlers backing singer who can only solo the Culture Club single 'Do you really want to hurt me'. Set in the 1985 the film has a real 80's feel for those of us who remember those New Romantic days.

Don't just think of The Wedding Singeras an Adam Sandler comedy--though it most certainly is that. But also think of it as the tip of the wave of the 1980s nostalgia craze that followed on the heels of the 1970s nostalgia craze. Set in the post-disco, new wave era, the film tells the story of Robbie Hart (Sandler), the king of small-town wedding-band singers, who once dreamt of being a rock star. But his contentment with life shatters when his fiancée stands him up at the altar. After wallowing in self-pity (by musically attacking the next wedding couple he serenades) and swearing off women, he helps a new friend, Julia (Drew Barrymore), get ready for her impending nuptials--only to find himself falling in love with her. If you're a Sandler fan, you'll enjoy him as an actual adult, though a wise-cracking one. And dig all those kooky 80s reference jokes and that greatest-hits-of-early-MTV soundtrack. --Marshall Fine
