THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair
was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer
might just be the coolest guy in the room.
It's 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's
favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his
own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart,
Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter
Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck
would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street
shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a
decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
