The Wedding Singer

The 80's is such a great decade, in my opinion that is. It's an era of great music though very weird fashion. It's an era where big pop icons like Michael Jackson and Madonna made it big. Here, the Wedding Singer has put its plot in the midst of this period and filled the movie with its fashion, trend, and of course great soundtrack.

The Wedding Singer stars one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Drew Barrymore, and Adam Sandler whom I haven't heard before this film came out.
The movie started with Adam's character, Robbie Hart in a wedding event where he is among the best in town. And coincidentally, Julia Sullivan (Barrymore) is one of the waitresses that night. There they've met in the back of the restaurant. Robbie is set to marry his fiancee and so it Julia. Julia had to book Robbie to be her wedding singer.

Unfortunately, the day of Robbie's wedding his bride didn't showed up. This broke him very much that he became grouchy and a bad wedding singer. Because of this he had to tell Julia that he won't be singing in her wedding. But he was able to guide her in preparing her wedding, from choosing the cake, the rings, the dress, and a new wedding singer.

In the course of this, they fell in love with each other but was unable to profess each other's feelings. This was made known by their 'church kiss' practice. On the night of Julia's wedding, Robbie, drunk with wine went to Julia's house to express his love but saw her trying her dress smiling thinking that she is happy but is not.

The next day she decided to go with her fiancee to marry in Las Vegas. And learning from this, Robbie made all his means to take the flight to Las Vegas and try to stop the wedding. Fortunately, he was on the same flight as with Julia. And with the help of the crew and other staff in the first class seat, including Billy Idol, Robbie sang over the intercom to Julia. It's a song that has become one of the favorites of many, Grow Old With You.

It was such a beautiful movie in my opinion with the collection of its music and its whole story line.
