movie review - The Wedding Singer

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1998.05.21

This movie is about a loser in life who is struggling to get it right. The entire thing feels like a series of scenes stitched together to let the lead run wild. Adam Sandler really doesn't do it for me. I saw this with a friend from work who professed a good deal more interest than I've ever mustered for the fellow. A two-hour version of Sandler's SNL work is not for me. I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about.

Not recommended.
