You're better off having been born after, say, 1965, if you really want to enjoy this corny romantic comedy and its abundant references to the MTV culture of the mid-1980s--and even then the odds are only 50-50 that you'll have a shamelessly good time. But a lot of people beat those odds, because The Wedding Singer was a surprise box-office hit when released in early 1998, and it resulted in Saturday Night Live graduate Adam Sandler's salary going ridiculously sky-high. It's a schizophrenic film about a seemingly schizophrenic wedding singer (Sandler) who's charmingly sweet to some people but a tongue-lashing maniac to others, probably out of frustration over his fading ambition as a wannabe rock star (not to mention Sandler's penchant for loud-mouthed lunacy). When he meets an admiring young waitress (delightfully played by Drew Barrymore), it's love at first sight, complicated by their pending marriages to much less appealing fiancés. The plot then contorts itself to accommodate this contrived will-they-or-won't-they? scenario, so you're better off ignoring the love story and focusing on the comedy, which is sporadic but occasionally hilarious. This is also a lighter, friendlier Sandler than moviegoers had seen before, which probably accounts for the movie's success. Toss in a fine supporting cast--including a show-stopping drunk act by indie-movie stalwart Steve Buscemi--and you've got the ingredients for a no-brainer that's ultimately more fun than it is annoying. --Jeff Shannon ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Adam's Best
You are cordially invited to fall in love with one of the funniest romantic comedies of the year! It's 1985 and Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is the ultimate master of ceremonies...until he is left at the altar at his own wedding. Devastated, he becomes a newlywed's worst nightmare - an entertainer who can do nothing but destroy other people's weddings. It's not until he meets a warm-hearted waitress named Julia (Drew Barrymore) that he starts to pick up the pieces of his heart. The only problem is, Julia's about to have a wedding of her own and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.

From big hair to Billy Idol (as himself), The Wedding Singer features a hilarious cast and a platinum soundtrack including 80's hits from Culture Club, David Bowie and The Police.

4-0 out of 5 stars One of Adam Sandler`s Best Films.
Robbie Hart (Adam Sandler) is a talented singer, who is the Ulimate Master at Ceremonies but When he`s about to get married, his girlfriend (Angela Featherstone) left him at the altar at his wedding. Mad at the world and especially himself, only thing, he could do is destory other`s people wedding just into he meets a soft-hearted waitress named Julia (Drew Barrymore) helps him to pick up the broken pieces of his heart. When Robbie meets Julia`s fiancee (Matthew Grove) and finding out that he`s a real jerk (especially when he manipulated Julia`s heart). Robbie falls in love with her, unless he could pull off a genuine moment with Julia before she gets married with a SOB.

Directed by Frank Coraci (The Waterboy) made a wonderful memorable romantic comedy that is absolutely satisfying. Sandler brings One of his Best Roles as a Struggling Song Writer & Barrymore is adorable as the Woman of his Dreams. This was a Surprise Box Office Hit, when it was release in the Winter of 1998. Carrie Fisher did some re-writes for this film, which she`s uncredited. Allen Covert is also fun as Robbie`s best friend and Christine Taylor is also attractively sexy as Julia`s Cousin. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) with an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD Extras are a Theatrical Trailer, Cast & Information & Three Karoke Songs. Billy Idol appears in a amusing cameo and also Jon Lovitz as a ridiculous Party Singer. Steve Bucesmi appears unbilled in a funny bit. Written by Tim Herlihy. Grade:A-.

5-0 out of 5 stars very funny!!!
Adam sandler and Drew barrymore go nuts in this hilariouse romantic comedy, like 50 first dates.

"PERFECT."

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the all-time romantic greats
This is one of the best all-time romantic comedies. You should be well-versed in 1980s pop culture to get the true humor, but a good time by all is basically guaranteed. One of my all-time favs!

5-0 out of 5 stars Drew barrymore, and adam. 22nd may 2004.
The film was ace, i thought by watching it that drew and adam would be brill together for real life. They are great friends and they both act together soooooooo cool! Drew is funny in a couple of parts of the film i certainly think she should be a comedian, she is sooooooooooo funny. I really enjoyed one of there other films they made together 50 first dates, that was soooooooooo romantic. I think this musical film defently deserves a 5 star and not less because the acting is cool, and they are both made to act together. And she's my favorite actress anyway. It got me so tempting in buying this video because i like to see films with them both in together, it is certainly a good film for you if you like drew or adam. GOT TO BE SEEN, EVEN IF YOU ARN'T MUCH FOR A MUSICAL. ... Read more

Adam Sandler vaulted into the $20-million-salary stratosphere with this, his second $100-million hit in 1998--a movie that further shows just how deeply embedded he is in the Jerry Lewis tradition of idiot comedy. He plays Bobby Boucher, a backwoods Cajun and a mentally challenged individual with a fixation on water: specifically, on serving the coolest, most refreshing H2O available to the college football team he has served since he was an adolescent. But when he's fired from his position, he takes up a similar job with a lowlier college team coached by neurotic Henry Winkler. One day at practice, Bobby loses his temper and delivers a bone-shaking tackle to the starting quarterback; before he can say, "blackened crawdads," he's the star of the team and leading it to a bowl game. But it's all against the wishes of his overprotective mother (Kathy Bates), who wants to keep her Bobby to herself--and that includes keeping him away from the floozy girlfriend (Fairuza Balk) who's sweet on him. There are two kinds of people in this world: People who find Sandler funny and people who view him as a neon-lit symbol of the decline of popular taste. You know who you are and, based on that, you can decide whether this is a movie for you. --Marshall Fine ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars The Waterboy-- Proof of the " I like Adam Sandler Syndrome"
The Waterboy left me scratching my head after watching it on DVD. I found myself wondering why this movie made so much damn money. Adam Sandler was pathetic in his role as a backwoods dullard that went from waterboy to football superstar. He seemed to be playing a much dumber and annoying Forest Gump. Kathy Bates as the insanely overprotective mother was much less annoying than Sandler but still could have been better. It seemed to me that "The Waterboy" tried too hard to make her funny in every seen. Too much snake eating, squirrel shocking, and hair brushing. The whole reference to "the devil" was too repetitive. The transition from her insanity to sanity in the whole hospital scene had no foundation. I thought Henry Winkler was okay as the Football coach with a few nuts and bolts loose. The scene with the Roy Orbison tatoo was shamefully the most intelligent in the movie. Farmer Fran was a total enigma to me. Was it supposed to be funny that you had absolutely no idea what he was saying? I always think that its what people say and do that is funny not what they sound like or move like. I'm not a big fan of the whole waterboy- gets-hit-with-football-everbody-giggle-philosophy.

5-0 out of 5 stars A feel-good comedy featuring Sandler at his funniest
While The Wedding Singer will probably always be my favorite Adam Sandler movie, The Waterboy is by far his funniest, and I think I actually enjoy this film more each time I watch it. It is the perfect answer for a bad day, as not only is it hilarious and uplifting, it lets you take out some of your own pent-up aggression with each powerful hit Bobby Boucher (Sandler) makes out on the football field. Bobby represents everyone who has ever been excluded, picked on, or ridiculed. While he is not an intellectual giant and does not possess what you call people skills, his kind and simple nature makes him a man among men even before he finds stardom on the gridiron. The boy certainly loves his mama, and Kathy Bates shines in her role as the overprotective, quirky, slightly touched in the head Helen Boucher. If anyone ever questioned Bates' ability to do comedy, this movie should banish all doubts. Fairuza Balk is strangely beguiling as Vicki Vallencourt, a "bad girl" who has long had an interest in Bobby over his mother's objections, and the two make a really strange yet somehow logical couple. Bobby's mother describes Vicki as "the devil," but of course she considers just about every person on the planet besides herself and Bobby to be "the devil."

Bobby's real passion in life is his job as waterboy for the local college football team, a real powerhouse coached by Coach Red Beaulieu (Jerry Reed). When he gets fired, he goes seeking water management employment at South Central Louisiana State University, a legendarily bad team coached by Coach Klein, a very un-Fonzie-like Henry Winkler. When Coach Klein convinces Bobby to defend himself against the taunts of team members, he finds himself looking at a natural-born linebacker. Mama does not want her son playing "foosball," but what Mama does not know won't hurt her (Bobby ingeniously blames all of the cuts and scrapes he acquires during the season on an escaped gorilla). He records a record-shattering sixteen quarterback sacks in his first game, drawing national attention from the real-life sportscasters of ESPN. A magical season unfolds at SCLSU, setting up a Bourbon Bowl meeting of the little college who could and mean old Coach Beaulieu's undefeated championship squad. At this point, certain complications arise, a secret history between Coaches Beaulieu and Klein is revealed, and SCLSU's dream season stands on the point of suddenly becoming a nightmare.

This is not a high-brow comedy, but there is nothing wrong with corny comedy as long as it is funny, and The Waterboy is, to repeat myself, hilarious. Football fans will definitely get a kick out of the way Bobby just destroys his opponents on the field, using several moves that you will not see in the NFL any time soon in the process (certainly not more than once). Perhaps overlooked in the midst of all the comedy is a more serious theme, however. This movie is a story of overcoming obstacles, believing in yourself, and redemption, not just for the ultimate underdog Bobby Boucher but for his mother, Coach Klein, and several other characters. You almost have to feel pumped up and happy in the end, and that counts for a lot in and of itself. Sometimes the good guys do come out on top, or so most of us like to believe in order to get through each day. The Waterboy helps us keep our faith and inspires us to rise above all of the bad things in life and concentrate on such simple yet important matters as family, friendship, love, and always doing your best.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is one of Adam Sandler's best movies.
The Waterboy is a movie that doesn't require a lot of brain power to figure out, but it's loaded with comedy and hilarious lines from Adam Sandler. One particular part of the movie that I love is when he is in a college class dealing with the agression center of animals and Bobby is asked why alligators are such aggressive creatures. Since his Mama was supposedly right about everything, his answer was "Mama says that alligators are angry 'cause they got all those teeth and no toothbrush." That's comedy, man! Simple comedy, maybe, but it's funny all the same! This is definitely a must-have for any Adam Sandler fan. If you don't like Adam Sandler, then you're not going to like this movie. End of story.

3-0 out of 5 stars Torn
This movie is very funny in some aspects, however it's very hard to laugh or enjoy in comparison to Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. I really loved Adam Sandler, however any movie made after Billy or Happy just seemed to lag off really badly, (i.e. Little Nicky, Big Daddy and various others)

I wasn't too thrilled with this one, except Kathy Bates, Blake Clark and Henry Winkler pretty much saved it from drowning (bad pun I know) in its own title.

I'm kind of disappointed with this movie, but I wouldn't say not to watch it or buy it because if you love stupid comedy like I do, then you'll like this. I'm more apt to rent it rather than own it (if I didn't own it already)

4-0 out of 5 stars Silly and funny
If you like Adam Sandler, you will like this movie.
If you don't like Adam Sandler, then you will not like this movie.

I like Sandler.
This movie was funny, and if analyzed correctly, quite meaningful. ... Read more

I've been a Jackie Chan fan for twenty years and have seen most of his movies. Around the World in 80 Days has some clever ideas and good fight scenes. I liked how Jackie's character got his name and how they worked the story out to sort of make sense.

Similar to Shanghai Knights, this is a campy farce, but I still have a hard time with people not acting appropriate for the period. I don't mean racial or gender stereotyping; I mean people are acting with modern ideas and speaking English all over the world. For example, one scene shows our heroes in a Turkish hot tub (bath) as though it was California. Speaking of California, the Governor's role is rather offensive. Overall, I recommend this movie for Chan fans and fans of the Jules Verne story.

4-0 out of 5 stars Viewing trailer harmed my experience
Unfortunately, since this movie joined the likes of Treasure Planet as a Disney box office bomb, you might expect to see this movie on your DVD shelf within 80 days. After seeing the preview, I had high expectations for this film, but couldn't attend for a week or two after its release due to a cold. I was disappointed and puzzled when I heard that the movie failed to make even a small splash on the box office top ten, but perhaps now that I've seen it, I can understand why.

Professor Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan) is an inventor in the late 1800's England, with lots of ideas and dreams. He is somewhat scorned, however, by his "fellow" scientists at the London Royal Academy of Science. He also has trouble securing good assistants since he somehow manages to shock, scorch, or otherwise injure them. Enter Passapartout (Jackie Chan), a Chinese bank robber in the guise of a Frenchman in order to escape the police. He jumps at the chance to serve Mr. Fogg, and is even more eager when Fogg accepts the wager from the head of the Academy of Sciences, Lord Kelvin, who dares Fogg that he cannot circumvent the globe in the allotted time. Passapartout knows this path will take him back to his native village in China, but conceals this from Fogg. Fogg and Passapartout (hint: it's pronounced Passpartou) depart on their mission. They counter numerous civilizations, manage to dodge the Black Scorpion (a group determined to recover a jade Buddha, the object that Passapartout robbed the bank for to begin with) and pick up a third companion, Monique LaRouge (Cecile de France).

GOOD: Fogg is devoted to the betterment of mankind through his inventions, even though he is ridiculed by his peers. He doesn't accept the bet because of the large sum of money but because he would win Lord Kelvin's position as head of the Royal Academy, which would give him more freedom for bettering humanity. Passapartout robbed the bank, but only to recover the jade Buddha, which he believes protects his village. He displays loyalty to Fogg, although leaving him deceived as long as he can. He also dives through a window (nearly losing his chance for escape in the process) to save a sleeping mother and child from a fire. Monique helps inspire Fogg to look beyond facts and figures to realize dreams, goals, and aspirations. Overall, the characters display generally positive character attributes of devotion, friendship, and love.

BAD: I don't count this as bad myself, but there is a good deal of stylized, non-bloody battles, the kind I understand Jackie Chan is famous for. In the general tradition of Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote, everyone gets beat up a little, but few are seriously harmed in the end. Knives are thrown by assassins, quills are thrown by an angry Lord Kelvin (both of which stick in peoples' skin), and punches and kicks are exchanged between Passapartout, sword-wielding Black Scorpion members, and other karate fighters. There are a few rather unnecessary swear words (H- and D-words), and some drinking. Arnold Schwartzenigger, perhaps in nod to his womanizing nature, requests humorously that Monique stays with him to be his seventh wife. Fogg stares once at part of Monique's exposed legs (1800's standard modesty, it's just above her ankles) and becomes flustered when she catches him staring. There's also the Buddha statue which Passapartout (or Lau Xing, as he is know to his people) steals to return to his village because he and his people believe it will protect their village. Upon returning it, all the villagers, and even Monique, bow reverently before the statue. I list these attributes under "bad" for any concerned parents. I didn't find any of them to be exceedingly objectionable to the point that children should not see it.

THOUGHTS: The key word when referring to Jules Verne here is "loosely" based. An inventor, and his assistant set out to prove man can travel the world in eighty days are the only points where the two stories agree. As for the movie itself, well ... I believe the preview (I based most of my expectations, which I admit were quite high, on the preview) promised a little more than the movie delivered. While most previews pick just a sampling of movie moments, I think the preview chose MOST of the good moments in Around the World in 80 Days, which left you with few surprises in the end. And in fact, there were few surprises in the movie at all, whether you've read the book or not. There were quite a few laughs to be had, but very little character development. Once the movie begins, it continues on a slam-bang course that doesn't slow down or give any pause for meaningful character interaction until about 45 minutes into the movie. I felt like I was seeing an extended trailer, not the real movie. The graphics were...pretty good. For country-to-country transitions, it was obvious the graphics were supposed to come off as fanciful, but still came off rather poorly.

Overall, while not quite living up to my expectations (and to be fair, perhaps such epic thrillers as Lord of the Rings have set an impossibly high standard), the movie is still enjoyable, and I'd recommend it for all ages. I hope we can expect better from Walden Media in the upcoming Chronicles of Narnia series.

3-0 out of 5 stars Fun family movie
It's a silly, fun movie. There's a little romance, but the young kids can handle it. There are lots of cameos, but it can be amusing to try and catch them all. No one gets seriously hurt or killed in this movie, except for one person, which is too bad, really (don't want to give it away).

1-0 out of 5 stars Why? WHY? WHHHHYYYY?!?
From the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episode "The Touch of Satan":
Girl in movie: "I'm possessed by the devil."
Tom Servo: "Michael Eisner?"

It's hard to decide what I hate most about this new "Around the World in 80 Days." From changing Phileas Fogg into a goofy inventor and outcast from his social club (the wager was never about "never inventing again"), to the appalling special effects, to the horrid cameos... it's a very close call! Oh now I know! Dave Stewart singing a particularly nauseating version of "All Around the World" -- "Everybody from every nation, everybody join the celebration..." ARRRHHGHHHH! Afterwards I had to listen to Lipps Inc's "Funkytown" for three hours just to get that bleedin' tune out of my head. When that didn't do the trick I tried Michael Sembello's "Maniac", but still no luck. Only sweet, sweet mead could soothe the pain caused by this latest Disney excretion. Oh, sweet, tasty mead, shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate, more exquisite and more pleasant, more divine and more balmy -- all in all the smoothest, and best tasting Ren Fest wine ever made! Long has this fine concoction been unavailable to aficionados in many parts of the country -- especially here in dreary old Atlanta -- but fear not, for the Bargetto online winery is here for the rescue, ready to deliver delicious Chaucer's Mead to your home at the touch of a button. To paraphrase the Bard, the delivery is swift, and flies with a swallow's wings. It's not just for peasants anymore!

Anyway, I think my point is pretty obvious: Avoid this film at all costs!

5-0 out of 5 stars AWESOME DVD!!!!
Both of these movies are by far some of Adam Sandlar's best movies ever.The Wedding Singer is about a struggling singer trying to get noticed but falls in love with his partner in teaching singing lessons (Drew Barrymore) who is marrying the wrong guy. With the help of his friend and his crushes roommate he must try to win her back before it's too late.Little Nicky is a hillarious story about the son of the devil (Sandlar) trying to save his father after his two brothers escaped from hell and froze the portal.Before his fater deteriorates Nicky must capture his brothers in a flask and bring them back. Both will make the perfect gift for any occasion.

5-0 out of 5 stars AWSOM MOVIE !!!!
I saw this movie on USA and immediately fell in love with it. It is by far one of Adam Sandlar's best. This romantic comedy also stars Drew Barrymore.Together these two talented people will make you want to watch it over and over again.This makes the perfect Valentine's Day gift,Birthday gift,or X-mas gift. For any Adam or Drew fan I would STRONGLY suggest buying this.You'll laugh till you cry and collapse!

5-0 out of 5 stars A Fine Example of why Adam Sandler is so loved.
Two killer movies in one pack. First up you have The Wedding Singer which I have no shame in saying is one of my all time favourite films. It's one of those movies that makes you laugh, cry and get involved and is guarenteed to leave you with a warm tingly buzz after watching. Second movie is Little Nicky which although isn't as funny as The Wedding singer has some great moments of it's own and a celebrity cast to die for featuring appearances by, Reese Witherspoon, Rodney Dangerfield, Dana Carvey, Henry Winkler, Rob Sneider and many more... While it's obvious Shakespear didn't put pen to paper on this one you still will enjoy it for the light hearted laugh fest it is. Check it out well worth the minimum dollars for two great nights in. ... Read more
