The Wedding Singer

About The Wedding Singer

The Wedding Singer is a 1998 film written by Tim Herlihy and directed by Frank Coraci that stars Adam Sandler as Robbie Hart, a wedding singer, and Drew Barrymore as Julia Sullivan, the object of his affections. The movie was notable for being Sandler's first romantic comedy, and was the beginning of his shift away from the lowbrow comedic material.

The Wedding Singer was later adapted into a stage musical with the same title, debuting on Broadway in early 2006 and closing on New Year's Eve.

Robbie (Adam Sandler) is a wedding singer from the town of Ridgefield, New Jersey. Engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Linda (Angela Featherstone), he meets and befriends a waitress, Julia Sullivan (Barrymore), at the reception hall where he is performing one night. Julia is also engaged, to fiancé Glenn Guliah (Matthew Glave). (Pronounced in the film "Ghoo-lia")
