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.
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.

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.

This movie was terrific! I was not a "Saved by the Bell" fan when the show first aired, in fact I never even watched it. I was watching another program that I had already seen and there was nothing else on, so I watched my first episode of "Saved by the Bell". The episode was the one where Screech and the gang were trying to sell his spaghetti sauce. Ever since then I have been hooked and now have the complete set going all the way back to "Good Morning Miss Bliss" and all the way through "Saved by the Bell: The New Class". This movie also brought back Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano), Dennis Haskins (Principal Richard Belding)in scene stealing cameos, although Lisa was a prominent character in the movie. This also marks the first time I saw Liz Vassey "Schwing" as Mike Myers would say. All in all this movie rocks! A perfect end to a perfect show. I hope to see a "Saved by the Bell" high school reunion movie.

This show felt like a totally different show. It was worse then the college years series. The show placed unnecessary problems for the "Kids" to overcome. These problems went nowhere and came out cheesy.
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 was a crappy movie....even by Saved by the Bell standards. The acting was horrible, the plot was stupid, and the production values were very cheap.
I know Saved by the Bell wasn't the best show ever (even though I watched it EVERY Saturday morning as a kid), but this movie doesn't do the show justice. They should have made it obviously campy, like the series... not tried to make a serious movie...
But, any true SBTB fan should see it. If, for no other reason than to see how the series ends.
My wife called it "watching a car wreck. you don't wanna look, but you just have to."

This is a really great finale if you were a fan of the series as I was. Who didn't want Zack and Kelly to get together? Screech is still his same geeky self and Lisa is still a bit materialistic. Slater hasn't changed much either, Jessie makes an appearance at the end, but it would have been better if she would have been in the whole movie with the rest of the gang. Some parts are a little cheesy, like Gilbert Gottfried's role, but all in all a good movie.

Okay, this was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life, and I was a huge "Saved by the Bell" fan. The is absolutely ZERO chemistry between Zack and Kelly, the plot is just idiotic, and please, come on, Zack and Kelly are both (supposedly) 19 and they want to GET MARRIED??? I think not. There is so much meaningless crap in this "movie of the week" that I can't even comment on all of it. Oh, and the acting is just atrocious. Seriously...don't feel bad if you missed out on this piece of crap.

Overall this movie was good. Yes it was cheesy at some parts but the part where Zack and Kelly get married really makes up for the entire movie. It was great to see Mr. Belding at the wedding. I think the best part of the movie was when it showed the "memories" of Zack and Kelly from the first episode of Saved By The Bell to the last episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years. It's a real tear-jerker. BOTTOM LINE: Very Good Movie

Wow, I didn't know film-making could get so bad until I saw this piece of pure garbage. First let me start by saying that the original series was great, though it was cheesy, we were able to enjoy it because of its goofiness and overall positive messages that it was sending to teenagers. And then "Wedding in Las Vegas" comes along and I hurl at the fact that I sat through this. What in the name of Elian Gonzalez influenced the filmmakers to make this?? The acting is dreadful. You could find better actors auditioning for American Idol! I don't know how the acting turned out so bad because these were the SAME people who did the television series, but their underwear must have been in a knot because this is acting at its worst. Oh, here's a nice attempt at humor: Kelly and Lisa are driving along and Kelly talks about how Zach never stops talking about her. We cut to the guys' car and Zach says "You think that Steven Segal could beat up Sylvester Stallone?" or some crap like that. HAHA!! no, that wasn't funny.
The only thing that changed my expression of hate was the Dano gag, and that only made me go "heh." So please, if you're looking for closure to the "Bell" series, DON'T see this by any means! If you want to watch a really bad movie just to laugh at other people's failures, then by all means THIS IS FOR YOU! If you're a filmmaker who has lost all hope in making movies, show this before premiering some of your films, it'll make them THAT much better.
Oh, here are some more bad things about this movie. The music, the attempts at serious drama, the attempts at clever sarcasm, and Screech. He was good in the series, but now he's in his 20s and he's still dumber than a retard on Jerry Springer. It's just annoying now. Awful, terrible, horrible, sadistic, and cruel and unusual torture. AVOID!!

Somehow Saved by the bell was meant to be a kids show, but it got too serious with plots, that acting is horrible, and it is not much of a convincing show to watch. But why make a movie from the TV show? not to mention showing two characters getting married. I mean, the problem with saved by the bell is that the show is showing all of these characters into their lives. From High school, college and now the wedding.
like the bundy's said, "Saved by the Bell: The Prison years"

This is the finale of saved by the bell. Zach and kelly finally decide
to get married,while them and the rest of the saved by the bell
gang get chased by two mobsters. In this finale there is a softer
spot in slater and it shows when he fights over a girl with the
mobsters.It is sad if your a saved by the bell fan because there is a
scene where they flashback to zach and kelly's younger days and i
cried. There is great las vegas scenery and the gang stays at the
stardust hotel and you can tell that people in the backround are
watching the filming. It was very sad if you watched saved by the
bell along time.

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.

i have seen the TV show to this movie and when the TV show starts up it is playing this song that i am not sure what the title is.if anyone can help i would like to know the title and the group that does this song.i think it might be live it up but not sure. also i love all of the complete season episodes of saved by the bell. i have only seen this one here played as one of the TV shows not as the movie as what this seems to be. but this is a very good episode sort of makes you wonder what happened to them after the wedding and where they are now.also if they have kids themselves and are the kids following in the parrents footsteps as in the TV show.also is there any plans for a show come back in the near future.

I just finished watching this beautiful piece of cinema, and I have tears in my eyes. I have never seen any episodes of Saved By the Bell, but I will surely go back and watch them all after experiencing this emotionally fueled, transcendent comic masterpiece. Of note, the work of Dustin Diamond as "screech" is probably the best work by any actor ever.
