Line 5: A [[Romantic Comedy]] made in 1998, starring [[Adam Sandler]] and [[Drew Barrymore]]. Robbie Hart is the titular wedding singer who is all set to be married to his girlfriend, Linda. [[Runaway Bride\|She leaves him at the altar.]] His friend Julia tries to cheer him up, and asks him to help her with her wedding. He agrees, and the two begin to fall in love. There is a problem, however - Julia is engaged to [[Jerkass\|Glenn.]] And this we mention this story is set in 1985, just so they can make a bunch of jokes about CD players, [[Van Halen]], and the like? It's a cute [[The Nineties\|'90s]] movie with likeable characters and a cute ending. What's not to love? Line 11: There was also a [[All Musicals Are Adaptations\|stage musical]] based off of the film. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes include: ===~~ * [[Anti-Love Song]] / [[Break Up Song]]: "Love Stinks", which is, believe it or not, a real song. * [[As Himself]]: Billy Idol Line 22 ⟶ 21: ** Robbie was this to his fiancée Linda, but since he's the central character, her decision to leave him is portrayed as shallow and mean. Even so, Linda is less cartoonishly evil than Glen, who is depicted as being violent, lecherous, and a liar. * [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Almost-case; the drunken best man from the first wedding ''appreciates'' George, and not for the singing. * [[Dumb Blonde]]: Holly, from both the movie and musical versions, is both slutty and slightly dim. However in the original movie, Julia herself was intelligent with [[Hair of Gold]] in contrast to Robbie's stupid brunette ex, Linda. The musical reverses Julia's and Linda's hair colors, with Julia a [[Brainy Brunette]] / [[Girl Next Door]] type and Linda an even bigger Dumb Blonde than Holly and dabbling into [[Blondes Are Evil]]. * [[The Eighties]]: This film is jam-packed with 1980s pop culture references. * [[Eighties Hair]] Line 63 ⟶ 62: [[Category:The Eighties]] [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:~~The Wedding Singer~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]] {{DEFAULTSORT:Wedding Singer, The}} [[Category:Film]]
