    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Asked by director Frank Coraci to polish the script, Carrie Fisher spent six months on it, making it her special mission to add "heart and strength and dimension" to the Drew Barrymore character, Julia. Thereafter, when she was asked what her secret sauce was for script doctoring, she'd reply: "Make the women smarter - and the love scenes better."
    • Goofs
      Frank and Rosie are supposed to be celebrating their 50th anniversary. However, the picture on the wall of their wedding is dated 1948, which is attuned to the film's release date in 1998. The film is set sometime in the 1980s.
    • Quotes

      Robbie: [singing] I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad / Carry you around when your arthritis is bad / All I wanna do is grow old with you. / I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches / build you a fire if the furnace breaks / Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you. / I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. / Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control. / So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink / Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. / Oh I could be the man to grow old with you. / I wanna grow old with you.

    • Crazy credits
      On the VHS version, after the credits there are three Karaoke style 80's songs.
    • Alternate versions
      The Extended Version, available on USA DVD and Blu-Ray, UK DVD and Blu-Ray is known as the "Totally Awesome Edition" adds around three minutes to the Theatrical Version and features an uncontentious additional dialogue scene where Robbie talks to Rosie about penis size.

    Adam Sandler is good

    Not as amusing as expected, but 'The Wedding Singer' is an enjoyable enough watch.

    Adam Sandler is good as Robbie, with Drew Barrymore fitting in nicely as Julia. They certainly do have noticeable chemistry. Christine Taylor (Holly) and Alexis Arquette (George) are decent supports, also.

    I had predicted extra laughs and, given how the film plays out, a more romantic feel to things. It's all fine though, I felt entertained to a satisfactory level. The music is well chosen, credit to Teddy Castellucci.

    I like Sandler and Barrymore better in 'Blended', but this production does leave positive thoughts.
