For some reason, director Frank Coraci has set the The Wedding Singer bangin the middle of the 80s which means bad haircuts, worse clothes andgreat/horrific music 8212; whichever way you heard it. And since this was whenMadonna8217;s Material Girl was the mantra, the central characters 8212; JuliaSullivan Drew Barrymore with her dewy five-year-old grin, and Robbie HeartAdam Sandler, the wedding singer who is nice to old ladies and ugly fatkids are horribly out of place. Julia is a tender heartedwaitress-soon-to-be-bride who lives in a house which looks like cassata icecream and is engaged to a Wall Street heel, Glen Gulia Mattew Glave.
Besides the fact that she will be called Julia Gulia, if she marries him, heis completely the wrong sort. The right sort is Robbie, the wedding singerwho gets stood up at his own wedding. His fiancee Linda AngelaFeatherstone, a groupie who lives in short leather skirts, decides that acommon wedding singer who lives in his sister8217;s basement, has no futureprospects in a material world. Meanwhile Robbie and Julia keep meeting eachother at various weddings where they keep seeing each other do nice thingsfor strangers. And while helping Julia with her wedding preparations, Robbiefalls in love with her. You won8217;t be taken aback by the scriptwriter8217;singenuity if you go to see the The Wedding Singer. All it requires from youis to eat buttered popcorn and smile. Which you will do, a lot, if you seethe movie.
