********************************************************************
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 fiancee
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.
