It seems like whenever he plays a "nice" guy, the movie doesn't really work...he is at the funniest in Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison where he does something because he wants to and also treat other people rudely. In "The Waterboy" and also "The Wedding Singer," Sandler is just too "nice" therefore a lot of the humor is gone (only scenes involving cruelty were funny). Sadly, this sensitivity is what draws the females to see his movies...

The Wedding Singer
(1998)
An ok movie
27 September 1998
The Wedding Singer wasn't great or anything...it's not too funny either. It has few laughs, not as much as other Adam Sandler movies like Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison but Drew Barrymore was great in this movie and some of you may like Adam's "nicer" side. This movie was a bit dull with not enough laughs but it wasn't a bad movie. Just an okay movie... you'll like it if you like Drew Barrymore but you would be disappointed if you are an Adam Sandler fan. You might like it a lot if you like the spoof of the 80's but it was overkill for me because there were just too much of it and only a few worked...
