Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas

As a big fan of the Saved By The Bell original series, and Saved By The Bell: The College Years, I found this a tremendous disapointment. The story is filled with little sub-plots that are dumb, boring, and go nowhere, other than to stretch out a half-hour series to a full-length movie. It's not funny, and not fun. The original series may have been dumb and cheesy, but you had a good time watching it -- this movie retains none of the original goofball value of the original series. Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas is certainly a terrible note for this, a successful series of over half a decade, to go out on.

At last, high school lovers Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski are finally getting married. In the final installment without the help of there parents, (Zach's parents are against the marriage and Kelly's parents don't have that much money.) Zach, Kelly and the rest of the Saved By The Bell gang head of to Las Vegas for the wedding of the year. Along the way to Las Vegas though, adventures begin when the guys get sent to jail and Slater is being chased by his new girlfriend's mob boyfriend. Everyone from the original Saved By The Bell, including, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario López, Dustin Diamond, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Voorhies and Dennis Haskins are all back here giving great and funny performances as usual. Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas is a must see for everyone, especially if you're a fan of the brilliant Saved By The Bell.

There is one thing special that made Saved by the Bell different than any other series I've seen. The characters literally grew up with there audience. I was one of them. I paced through junior high, high school and college with Zack, A.C., Screech, Kelly, Lisa, and all the rest. I enjoyed seeing them growing as I did, and dealing with the same issues that I faced. Yes, it started as a kids show, but it grew up and it was drastically successful because of it. The fact that they ended the series with Zack and Kelly's wedding is only fitting.

You want to see true-to-life cross-over with an audience it couldn't have ended any other way.

This was a great movie, and by the way, that wedding song will still bring a tear to my eye. I'd advice anyone who knew this franchise to see it, you'll laugh and probably cry, but in the end it lives up to the Saved by the Bell criteria.

This movie is for the fans of Saved By The Bell, reading some of the earlier comments, I can see some of them HAVE to be by people who did not like the series. This gives you what the series has promised since episode one (not counting the Ms. Bliss years). Something similar, but obviously appearing before the Friends final episode (Ross and Rachel finally getting together).

19 may be early for marriage, but that was the characters age when the show was to be cancelled, otherwise you would have had to wait 2-3 more years for a marriage movie and then think of the trouble trying to get everyone together to make a new movie (they had to give Jessie a small part just to get her to appear at the end). Having Mr. Belding show up was a classy move, even though he was not part of the college yearS (except a Thanksgiving appearance).

I agree with some of the earlier comments about Gilbert Godfrey's role, it was not good. But, overall, like I said earlier, it gave us the ending most people wanted and Zack's character wanted from the first episode.

My next question is, when will the wedding be on DVD, since it was not part of the College Years DVD set. It should have been part of that since the proposal and idea of marring in Vegas was part of the college years series.

If you are a fan of the original series, then this TV movie is definitely a must-see, so that you can see Zack and Kelly tie the knot. However, if you are not familiar with the Saturday morning series that made these characters famous, stay away from this one. This really isn't a very good movie, as it is filled with silly humor that will probably get tiresome quickly, unless you have already spent years watching this group. It's difficult for me to judge this movie fairly, since I did watch the television episodes with regularity, but I believe that only "Saved By The Bell" fans should watch this one.
