90A 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.
-
80A script with a streak of clever cynicism and poignancy, a soundtrack of tunes you thought had long since departed to the vinyl graveyard and one of the most adorable screen pairings in ages in Sandler and Barrymore and the result is a film which, while hardly high art, is simply irresistible.
-
80Director Frank Coraci and scripter Tim Herlihy work in concert to maintain a quality of farce rooted in human comedy.
-
The 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.
-
75The movie is surprisingly strong despite its potentially flaky plot, combining '80s-style humor with a sincere romantic story.
-
It’s a pleasant movie -- very pleasant, in fact -- but soft as a down quilt.
-
70Half the film is an ingenuous love story, but the better half consists of pop culture time-warp jokes set in 1985.
-
70Adam Sandler is surprisingly likable as Robbie, a struggling musician who is left at the altar early in this modest romantic comedy.
-
70Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore make an appealing couple in this silly but very likable 1998 romantic comedy set in 1985.
-
67As a romantic comedy, the picture is pleasant, predictable, and utterly weightless.
-
60Yes, it's sappy. It's also silly, utterly unironic, a sketch stretched out to feature length, and, if you're in the right mood, pretty darned cute.
-
60Frank Coraci's '80s-nostalgia comedy is predictable and unevenly paced, and it lunges too often for the easy joke.
-
60Sandler smirks a good deal less than he did in his last two movies, and with a couple of acting lessons, he might develop into a screen presence.
-
A sweet-natured if formulaic romantic comedy.
-
The considerable appeal of this movie has to do with its roots in those nice, comforting love stories of the 1930s.
-
50This movie desperately wants to be liked. The problem is, there's not much here to like -- at least nothing that's new or interesting.
-
50Finally, an Adam Sandler comedy that you can sit through without wanting to throw a mallet through the screen.
-
50It is a harmless and occasionally hilarious pop comedy good for a few bargain yuks.
-
Sandler is endearing as a sensitive nice guy, and Barrymore is a cute love interest, but The Wedding Singer fails to deliver the anticipated laughs.
-
40It's charmingly bad and an excellent date film.
-
25The screenplay reads like a collaboration between Jekyll and Hyde.
