The Wedding Singer

The Wedding Singer

“Please get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break-up!” – Robbie (“The Wedding Singer” – 1998)

Robbie (Adam Sandler) is the perfect wedding singer until the unthinkable happens and he gets dumped at the altar! Will his friendship with Julia (Drew Barrymore) who’s engaged to Glenn (Matthew Glave) help him through his tough times? While you’re watching “The Wedding Singer” here are a few goofs to look for!

Here’s To The Bride And Groom…

At the beginning of the movie, when we first see Robbie performing at a wedding, keep an eye on the bow tie that the best man, Dave (Steve Buscemi) is wearing during his toast to the bride and groom. The collar near his right shoulder changes from being over his bow tie and under it throughout the scene.

Weddings Always Make Me Cry…

Robbie is singing for the first time after Linda (Angela Featherstone) dumped him. Robbie is singing “Holiday” and right after the line “…it would be so nice” we get a quick glimpse of his left hand on the microphone. There is a silvery ring near the tip of one of his fingers. But a few moments later, the ring is gone!

The Trash Bin

When Robbie is in the dumpster while talking to Julia, watch the trash around him. It changes position during the scene. This is especially noticeable with a greenish/grey ring. The ring is originally near his right side when we first see him. A moment later, the ring is on top of him. When Julia mentions the “cops that are still interviewing witnesses”, the scene switches back to Robbie and the ring is once again to his right.

Who Ate That?

When Robbie, Julia, Holly (Christine Taylor) and Sammy (Allen Covert) are sampling wedding cake, Robbie eats a piece and there are two slices left on the plate. The camera switches angles when Robbie takes a piece of cake to give to the woman behind him, and the last piece has suddenly disappeared (the plate is now empty). When Robbie starts to walk away, the last piece of cake has reappeared.

Drinking Games

When Robbie and Sammy are at the bar (after Robbie’s run-in with Julia), the two are talking when an old man (Carmen Filpi) comes over and puts his arms around Sammy. Watch his arms carefully! When Robbie says “Thank you Sammy”, the close-up shows the older man’s hands on Sammy’s left shoulder and on his chest (right under his neck). It then cuts to a wider shot. The older man’s left hand is still on Sammy’s shoulder but his other hand is now on Sammy’s right arm.

Golden Anniversaries

Rosie (Ellen Albertini Dow) serenades Frank (Sid Newman) at their anniversary celebration. When Frank hugs her, during the close-up we can see she’s on his left. The scene cuts to Robbie and Sammy and then back to Frank and Rosie, who is now on Frank’s right side!
