THE WEDDING SINGER (1998)

Adam Sandler is a wedding singer and as far as wedding singers go he's pretty good at it.  A romantic at heart, he's always dreamed of getting married himself.  Unfortunately his girlfriend stands him up at the alter.  Almost too heartbroken to go on, he's coaxed out of his gloom to help a co-worker (Drew Barrymore) plan her wedding.  As the days pass, he realizes that this girl is actually the girl of his dreams, not his ex!  Also, her soon to be husband is a total douchelord.

That might sound like the story of a thousand different romantic comedies (and it is), but it's all THE WEDDING SINGER needs because it's honestly a great movie.  The main attractions are the delightful chemistry between Barrymore and Sandler, Steve Buscemi's hair, the awesome 80's soundtrack and the hilarious comedy.  Even after (easily) 30+ viewings I still enjoy every scene and can pretty much quote the entire thing.  "They were cones!"  I also really appreciated the fact that the "bad guy" (Drew's boyfriend), while he is a douche, isn't totally dislikable.  He's just an ass, but still very funny.

THE WEDDING SINGER is a truly fun movie and by far my most watched Adam Sandler film.  Highly recommended.  I am curious though as to why with so many 80's references and Drew Barrymore being the main star didn't they somehow work in an E.T. joke/reference?
