The Wedding Singer (#ad) is a love story between two people who are unable to find the love and happiness that they seek with their supposed significant others so they try to find it elsewhere.
The main characters will become a couple in the end
The moment that we were introduced to the two main characters, Robbie Hart (played by Adam Sandler) and Julia Sullivan (played by Drew Barrymore), I knew that they were going to end up together. It didn’t matter that we just found out that Robbie was about to get married and that Julia was engaged.
The Wedding Singer love story is believable
The film did a pretty okay job with that actually. The 2 didn’t fall in love all of a sudden or right away, which was only right since they were still currently involved with other people.When Robbie and his fiancée, Linda (played by Angela Featherstone), broke up, he didn’t suddenly fall in love with Julia right away. Understandably, he was depressed about what happened and he wasn’t ready to fall in love yet.
Get to know each other first before falling in love
The 2 started out as friends. I like how the movie showed them taking the time to get to know each other. We saw scenes of them hanging out and spending time together. These scenes made it easy to see how and why they began to fall in love with each other.Robbie was looking for something or someone to fill the hole that Linda made when she left him while Julia was looking for someone to help her plan her wedding until she realized that the guy she was marrying wasn’t the right one for her.
The Wedding Singer was able to show the passage of time in a believable and realistic manner so that it didn’t seem like Robbie and Julia wanted to get together so soon after they just met.
There was that initial attraction, but the way that they fell in love was a gradual thing that took time to blossom and be nurtured into something special and wonderful between the two of them. What do you think about the romance between these two?
