Short description

Robbie, a local rock star turned wedding singer, is dumped on the day of his wedding. Meanwhile, waitress Julia finally sets a wedding date with her fiancée Glenn. When Julia and Robbie meet and hit it off, they find that things are more complicated than anybody thought.

What's left behind the scenes

Carrie Fisher polished the script, but her name is not mentioned in the credits.
The film took 1.5 years to produce.
The vest that Julia wears throughout the film belongs to Drew Barrymore. When Frank Coraci, the film's director, saw her in it, he suggested that her character wear the same vest.
This film marks Kevin Nylon's second cameo appearance in films starring Adam Sandler. The first time was a small role in "Billy Madison" (1996).
In one scene, Robbie shouts to Linda: "Take off my favorite Van Halen t-shirt, or you'll jinx the band and they'll break up!" David Lee Roth left the band in 1985. The events of the film take place in the same year.
The guitar Robbie (Adam Sandler) plays while performing "Somebody Kill Me Please" is a Gibson ES-335.
The character 'George' is based on Boy George.
