He's gonna party like it's 1985! Featuring extra footage, a radical soundtrack and way cool performances by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, this Totally Awesome Edition will leave you totally stoked!
It's 1985, and Robbie Hart (Sandler) is a wedding singer who can cover the hits, deliver the perfect toast and even get Grandma on the dance floor. But when Robbie is dumped at his own wedding, he has a total eclipse of the heart and becomes the ultimate cynic. It's not until he meets a waitress named Julia (Barrymore) that Robbie starts to come around. However, Julia's about to get married herself, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of his dreams may be gone forever.
"A sparkling romantic comedy!" Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"Sandler has never been more appealing, or Barrymore more adorable." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Editor's Note
New Jersey wedding chanteur Robbie Hart loses all hope after being abandoned at the altar by his fiancee Linda. Enter Julia, an effervescent ray of light in the shape of a catering-service waitress, who enlists Robbie's help in planning her own wedding--to a sleazy, DeLorean-driving junk bond salesman who tomcats around and treats women like unfeeling slabs of meat. Can our hero win Julia over before she elopes to Las Vegas? Will Billy Idol save the day? And, most importantly, will the fluffy romantic storyline be completely overpowered by the weighty mid-1980s cultural references? THE WEDDING SINGER is cheesy fun for the nostalgically inclined. Steve Buscemi tries to steal the film in an uncredited role as a drunk best man, but that honor actually goes to Alexis Arquette, as "George."
