Adam Sandler is the guy who gives good reception, but has a few problems with his own love life. Big hair and "99 Luftballoons" do not a comedy make. Robbie, the singer and Julia, the waitress are both engaged to be married but to the wrong people. Fortune intervenes to help them discover each other.
Glenn's Buddy: Robbie Hart? I heard what happened to you at your wedding, that was so cold! You must've felt like shit!
Robbie: No it felt real good, thanks for bringing that up, man. Hey, my parents died when I was ten, would you like to talk about that?
Glenn's Buddy: Why would I wanna talk about that?
Robbie: I don't know
Watching THE WEDDING SINGER is like being force-fed an overdose of '80s culture and memorabilia coated with syrup. I realize that romantic comedies, by their nature, are supposed to be feel-good experiences, but THE WEDDING SINGER overdoes it in the schmaltz department. This movie is sickeningly sweet, and only a die-hard romantic or an avowed Adam Sandler fan will be able to sit through the ninety-five minute feature without going into sugar shock.
