Storyline

Robbie Hart is singing the hits of the 1980s at weddings and other celebrations. He also can keep the party going in good spirit, he knows what to say and when to say it. Julia is a waitress at the events where Robbie performs. When both of them find someone to marry and prepare for their weddings, it becomes clear that they've chosen wrong partners.

User Reviews

Very funny

"The Wedding Singer" is not Adam Sandlers best work, I thought he was best in "Happy Gilmore." Still, he'll still keep you laughing till the end of this movie. Drew Barrymore is also great as the innocent Julia. There are also very funny cameos by Billy Idol and Steve Busiemi.
