Adam Sandler takes a
romantic turn in his
new comedy, "The
Wedding Singer,
opening tonight.

SERENA DONADONI
Special to The Jewish News

or Adam Sandler, whose
comedy is based in good
part on being humorously
abrasive, The Wedding
Singer, a sweet-natured romantic com-
edy co-starring Drew Barrymore,

nice guy who does everything for the
right reasons."
"This guy is funny and realistic, he
reacts the way people react in life,"
said Drew Barrymore about Sandler's
Robbie Hart.
"Some of those moments are sort of
Adam Sandlerish, but he's also a girl's
dream: He's sweet, he's sensitive, he's
funny, he's aware."
But there's a snag. After Robbie gets
left standing at the altar by his long-
time girlfriend, he becomes bitterly
disillusioned about love, until his bud-
ding friendship with the engaged Julia
(Barrymore) — she's about to marry a
Delorean-driving yuppie — turns into
something more.

For The Wedding Singer, Barrymore
joined Sandler's tight-knit group of
friends, who form a sort of repertory
company.
"I like working with people I'm
friends with," Sandler explained recent-
ly in Los Angeles. "It's a long time to
shoot a movie. I want to be around
people I want to hang out with. It's
important to me to have fun."
