Reviews
Wedding Singer sort of lives in the shadows of Adam Sandler's other 90s comedies (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy). It's a tad less quoteable, but it's just as good (and actually better than The Waterboy).
I went to Adam Sandler's last tour, and he sang "Grow Old With You" to a slide show of pictures of him and his wife. I sobbed.
