The Wedding Singer is the ultimate comfort movie. It’s Sandler before his movies became a series of vacations for his friends, and Barrymore at her most luminous. Even though it's nearly 30 years old, the fact that it's about the 80s keeps it from feeling 'outdated' in a bad way—the nostalgia is the point.
For a family movie night, it’s a high-reward pick. It’s funny enough to keep kids engaged and sweet enough that you won't feel like you're rotting their brains. Just be ready to explain what a 'limo' used to represent in 1985.
