The Wedding Singer: Adam Sandler
built 127 days ago
The Wedding Singer is a 1998 film written by Tim Herlihy and directed by Frank Coraci that stars Adam Sandler as Robbie Hart, a wedding singer, and Drew Barrymore as Julia Sullivan, the object of his affections. The movie was notable for being Sandler's first romantic comedy, and was the beginning of his shift away from the lowbrow comedic material.

Though there's plenty of Adam Sandler's trademark comedy, The Wedding Singer is a surprisingly touching romance. Wedding band front-man Robbie Hart (Sandler) anxiously awaits his marriage to his longtime girlfriend. Meanwhile, he gets chummy with ...-engaged reception-hall waitress Julia (Drew Barrymore). When Robbie gets jilted at the altar, Julia tries to put an end to his heartbreak by enlisting his expertise in planning her wedding.

The Wedding Singer stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and will please you if you answered �yes� to any of those questions. It�s not a perfect film -- like much of Sandler�s work, it has moments that don�t quite click. Overall, though, it�s wonderful. It may be predictable, it may be sappy and romantic, it may be frighteningly 80s, but it made me smile, and for a brief two hours I was transported to a world where true love does exist, and nice guys can finish first.

Based on the popular 1998 Adam Sandler film, "The Wedding Singer," which has a book by Beguelin and Tim Herlihy, traces the hapless adventures of Robbie Hart, who makes a living entertaining at other people's nuptials in suburban New Jersey. His own love life is in the toilet or, more precisely, the Dumpster, after he gets stood up on his own wedding day.

Don't just think of The Wedding Singer as an Adam Sandler comedy--though it most certainly is that. But ... think of it as the tip of the wave of the 1980s nostalgia craze that followed on the heels of the 1970s nostalgia craze. Set in the post-disco, new wave era, the film tells the story of Robbie Hart (Sandler), the king of small-town wedding-band singers, who once dreamt of being a rock star. But his contentment with life shatters when his fiancée stands him up at the altar. After wallowing in self-pity (by musically attacking the next wedding couple he serenades) and swearing off women, he helps a new friend, Julia (Drew Barrymore), get ready for her impending nuptials--only to find himself falling in love with her. If you're a Sandler fan, you'll enjoy him as an actual adult, though a wise-cracking one.
