1. One of the sweetest movies you're ever likely to come across.
2. Adam Sandler falls for Drew Barrymore
3. Herlihy's screenplay offers few laughs on its own; the film's most humorous moments come from Sandler's low-key, off-hand delivery.
4. Like the cinematic equivalent of cotton candy, it might make you yak, but it tastes pretty good going down.
5. Sandler proves here that he's not only a brilliant comedian, but a talented actor.
6. Director Frank Coraci exerts little control over his picture, which drifts aimlessly from bad to good and then back again.
7. It's mushy and funny, slobbery and predictable -- but gee, I like it.
8. If you like a pleasant and predictable romantic comedy, then this is the one for you.
9. The film is just a trifle, but in the mid-winter cinematic wasteland, you have to grade on a curve.
10. In essence, The Wedding Singer is a K-Tel hits package posing as a movie.
What is the consensus?
It's decidedly uneven -- and surprisingly sappy for an early Adam Sandler comedy -- but The Wedding Singer is also sweet, funny, and beguiling.
