The Boston Phoenix
TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
Yes, 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. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
LA Weekly (Manohla Dargis)
Sandler 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. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at LA Weekly (Manohla Dargis)

Sandler makes nice to please the female demographic. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Scott Weinberg)
Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)
Frank Coraci's '80s-nostalgia comedy is predictable and unevenly paced, and it lunges too often for the easy joke. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Liam Lacey)
Finally, an Adam Sandler comedy that you can sit through without wanting to throw a mallet through the screen. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Liam Lacey)
The Onion (A.V. Club) (Joshua Klein)
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. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Joshua Klein)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Watching The Wedding Singer is like being force-fed an overdose of '80s culture and memorabilia coated with syrup. I realize that romantic comedies, by their nature, are supposed to be feel-good experiences, but The Wedding Singer overdoes it in the schma ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Perhaps the most surprising element of The Wedding Singer is how tame Sandler is.
With the exception of a few momentary lapses, there's nothing to indicate that this is the same
seemingly-hostile comic who made his mark in films like ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Adam Sandler plays the titular Wedding Singer. (This is not to be confused with Neil Diamond's Jazz Singer, though it's an equally funny movie.)The film is set around 1985, just so Adam can either sing or play every New Wave song EVER recorded. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Bob Bloom
Such is the case with The Wedding Singer. Now, this isn't the funniest movie since Buster Keaton's The General. Let us just say it's better than Dumb and Dumber, but not as good as Caddyshack.What catches you off guard is the performance of Saturday ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Bob Bloom
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
It's 1985, and a wedding singer (Sandler,Big Daddy)gets stood up at his own wedding and practically sinks into depression feeling he will never find anyone to love him. He helps a young waitress (Barrymore,Ever After)to plan her own wedding, they develop ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

San Francisco Chronicle (Ruthe Stein)
A sweet-natured if formulaic romantic comedy. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Ruthe Stein)
San Francisco Examiner (Barbara Shulgasser)
The considerable appeal of this movie has to do with its roots in those nice, comforting love stories of the 1930s. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at San Francisco Examiner (Barbara Shulgasser)
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Jack Garner)
In his uneven new comedy, Adam Sandler learns to be satisfied with dancing to the beat of a different drummer, even if that drummer is playing for weddings and bar mitzvahs.He's Robbie Hart,The Wedding Singer.As the film opens, ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Jack Garner)
Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
There's also some good music in the film and a couple of nice songs by Sandler. Some of the jokes in the film are also quite funny. When that final romantic scene comes along it was corny as could be, but what can I say. It still got to me. There is a ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)

It's charmingly bad and an excellent date film. ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Film Threat (Ron Wells)

In fact you know everything that is going to happen during this movie.Sandler is somewhat adequate in his leading man role, ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Michael Redman
Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
THE WEDDING SINGER has one good laugh, somewhere in the middle of the movie, when Jon Lovitz appears out of nowhere to sing "Ladies Night" in full lounge-lizard mode. (He notes "that ain't no sock in my crotch.") With the possible exception of the ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
Cinematter (Matt Williams)
Adam Sandler turns up the charm in his latest romantic comedy, The Wedding Singer. Unfortunately, that also has the effect of softening his edge. He's nowhere near his peak of Happy Gilmore, not that it was much of one. He's certainly not helped here by ...read the complete Wedding Singer movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)
