Did Critics Sing the Praises of The Wedding Singer?
I just don't understand why Broadway musicals have been debased to Hollywood's recycling bin for mediocre Adam Sandler movies. What happened to the original musical? -Emily L.
And whats the point of a musical about a movie if you don't use the original music? Keyboard riffs? How is that a musical? What happened to Billy Idol, and all the other singers/bands that were featured in The Wedding Singer? THATS WHAT MADE THE MOVIE! It was so 80s. COME ON!
