Movie-makers take note...
If you want to make a chick flick that guys will go to, make it funny.
Today's movie is Adam Sandler's finest film. That is a sentence you won't hear many movie reviewers make!
For those that haven't seen it:
Robbie Hart (Sandler) is a local wedding singer. He's talented and fun, and can keep the party going no matter what happens. But when he's left at the altar, his entire universe explodes. Luckily, the new waitress, Julia (Drew Barrymore) is there along with his friends to try and cheer him up. Julia is planning her wedding, and getting Robbie's help brings him back from the brink. But what does he do when he begins having feelings for Julia?
I told you I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. And I'll watch every Adam Sandler movie, at least once.
This one, I've watched way more than once! : )
Sandler and Barrymore have a sweet chemistry together in the movie. As the movie unfolds, you see them falling in love, and naturally you know how the movie ends, but it's fun to watch them get to that point.
It helps that Glenn Guglia is a complete jerk who you can't believe is going to marry sweet little Julia.
Julia Guglia? Ick!!!
Of course, there is the Jon Lovitz factor to help push this movie to the top. His brief cameo is hilarious.
However, you have to give credit for the finale to Billy Idol.
If you're casting a movie, set in the 80s, and you need someone to play Billy Idol... you cast Billy Idol!! Sandler did, and the ending is all the more hilarious because of it. : )
