The
Wedding Singer
DOWN &
DIRTY:
Romantic Comedy: A popular
wedding singer must deal with his
fiance standing him up on their
wedding day, as well as his
romantic feelings for his
waitress friend who may be
marrying the wrong man.
NITTY GRITTY:
It's 1985 and Robbie Hart (ADAM
SANDLER) is a struggling
songwriter who earns a living as
a wedding singer.
Engaged to marry his girlfriend
Linda (ANGELA FEATHERSTONE),
things seem to be going okay, and
he even makes a new friend, Julia
(DREW BARRYMORE).
Julia's just completed her first
day as a waitress. It turns out
she's getting married as well,
and they're both happy for each
other.
When Linda dumps Robbie on their
wedding day, however, everything
quickly falls apart for him.
He's eventually talked into
performing at another wedding by
his best friend. Overtaken by
grief and anger, Robbie's
performance is horrendous and he
decides from then on to perform
only at non-marital events such
as bar mitzvahs.
Meanwhile, Julia can't get her
uncaring fiance, Glenn (MATTHEW
GLAVE), to help in any of their
wedding plans, so she turns to
Robbie and her other friend,
Holly (CHRISTINE TAYLOR).
As Robbie helps with Julia's
preparations, their friendship
begins to turn into something
more. Not only does that make
Robbie confused, but he also
learns that Glenn is an uncaring,
philandering scum bag.
THE ENDING:
Robbie gets Julia...duh.
