The Wedding Singer brings us back to a time when hair was teased, sprayed, moussed, permed...and permed again with lots of colors and streaks in-between.
Robbie (Adam Sandler) and Julia (Drew Barrymore) both work at one of the happiest places to be....weddings!
Robbie is a lovably goofy, sweet, decent, and sentimental fellow with a heart of gold, who has a wonderful outlook on love, life, and marriage.
Robbie even gives singing lessons to his elderly, but hip and sassy neighbor Rosie (Ellen Albertini Dow) in exchange for meatballs! (How cute is that?)
All Robbie can think about in the coming week is his wedding day to his fiancee Linda, (Angela Featherstone), who he loves very much.
Julia is a delightfully delicate, sweet and innocent, undoubtedly trusting girlfriend to Glenn (Matthew Glave), her boyfriend of 4 years, who she would love to have propose to her and start a life with him.
Robbie is singing at a wedding, and he meets Julia. Both have a lovely connection with each other and share a few touching words during a break at the wedding.
Julia tells Robbie she will be a waitress at his wedding, and if she and Glenn do get married, she would like Robbie to be their wedding singer.
Well, Robbie's big day arrives, and a big day it turns out to be -- a big disaster of misery and pain!
Robbie's fiancee, Linda, ditches him at the altar.
Being the devoted and nice guy he is, Robbie brushes off the bad remarks and feelings his family and friends have said about Linda, and believes they will get back together.
Linda trashes Robbie's hope of that ever happening since she won't marry somebody who is just a "wedding singer."
Julia, on the other hand, is looking at the brighter side of love. Glenn proposes to Julia in a rather uncharming way.
With the help of his friend Sammy (Allen Convert), Robbie takes a mental leave from life and work to regroup, puts his wedding singer attire back on -- and messes up big time!
Robbie slamdunks it into high gear with vile, bitter, and cruel comments about the wedding guests by singing to the wedding couple as if he couldn't care less about love and happiness.
After Robbie expresses his hurt, pain, and hatred to Julia about weddings and all that goes with it -- especially his singing -- Julia tries to rebuild his confidence by asking Robbie to sing at her wedding to Glenn, as well as inviting him to the engagement party.
Robbie just doesn't have it in his heart to sing at weddings anymore, even for Julia. Robbie starts singing at other non-wedding functions, but does go to the engagement party to show his support.
Robbie and Julia start becoming good friends, and Robbie helps Julia plan for the wedding -- the wedding Glenn wants nothing to do with.
Julia's cousin, Holly (Christine Taylor), starts getting the "hots" for Robbie after she watches him and Julia practice an "appropriately groomed" kiss for the end of the wedding ceremony. Holly thinks it would be great for them to go out on a double date with Julia and Glenn.
After picking up some uneasy feelings from Glenn's roaming eye when the group is on their night out, Robbie plays into his suspicions about Glenn, and realizes Glenn is a relentless, sleazy, scuz bag who cheats and has no honorable bones in his body.
After Robbie passes on her not-so-subtle advances, and she sees the disappointed look on his face when she mentions Julia spends a lot of nights at Glenn's, Holly picks up on Robbie's "thing" for Julia. Robbie denies it, but confesses he thinks Glenn is "a jerk."
The next morning, Holly tells Julia what Robbie said about Glenn, and Julia looks very eager to hear more. A few back and forth stories, and soon no one knows the truth.
Robbie thinks if he gets a "real" job, he can impress Julia. Unfortunately, there's no luck in the job market for Robbie, and when he gets home, Julia is waiting for him. Robbie is upset he doesn't have a high-profile job, and calls Julia materialistic -- not a good move when you are trying to impress someone. Julia is furious and leaves, throwing the present she made for Robbie up in the air. She had put his words and music on paper for him, knowing his music was very important to him.
Out at a bar one night, Robbie confesses to Sammy he thinks he is in love with Julia. Meanwhile, Julia starts rehearsing her married name in her bedroom mirror, but it's not her fiance's last name either!
Robbie and Julia are falling for each other, but will two innocent encounters make each other see clearly, or will it jeopardize their chances of being happily ever after (and possibly together)?
The Wedding Singer is loaded with 80s hits, such as "You Spin Me Right Around," "Hold Me Now," "How Does It Feel," "How Soon Is Now," "Too Shy," "You Make My Dreams Come True," "Love My Way," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," and "China Girl," along with a smorgasbord of totally cool hits to jam and sing to while watching the film. There is even a pretty nifty cameo by an 80s legend!
Makeup, wardrobe, and hair were essential for this movie's success as a comedy set in the 1980s. Colors were vivid and dark, wild, frosted, and glossed. Clothing was funky, tight, lacey, shiny, studded, belted, and all tied together with a ton of flashy, clinky jewelry. How much fun was that era!
The Wedding Singer is a feelin' good kind of movie that makes you laugh, and reminisce about the "good ol' days" -- the decade of hair, fashion, and unique music only the '80s could provide.
