Adam Sandler stars alongside Drew Barrymore in this 1998 hit as failed songwriter Robbie Hart making his living as a wedding singer.

He's happy enough with his lot until he is stood up at his own wedding. Enter Drew Barrymore who's engaged to be wed to an incorrigible womaniser. Robbie falls for her and becomes the good guy who tries to save her.

It's quite obvious who and what you should be rooting for very early on here but it remains a charming little romantic comedy . It was Sandler's first mainstream role and he did bring a little wackiness to the genre and really shines when singing a self-penned ditty about his failed relationship which builds from a mellow, reflective verse to a chorus of "it was all bull****".

It's also set in the 80's, hence the hairstyles, a great soundtrack and even the sight of Steve Buscemi singing Spandau Ballet's True.

This 'totally awesome' special edition also includes extra footage including a new song, a backstage look at The Wedding Singer On Broadway and '80s Mix Tapes (with Jump To A Song navigation).

Feel good stuff for a cosy night in.
