"Hey, psycho - we're not gonna discuss this, OK, it's over. Please get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up."

Join us at the Rio Theatre as we kick off the Just For Laughs Vancouver festival on Thursday, February 16 with a very special, 25th Anniversary screening of one of our all-time favourite romantic comedies, THE WEDDING SINGER.

THE WEDDING SINGER is a giant slice of sweet romantic comedy perfection thanks to the the unlikely yet somehow perfectly quirky pairing of Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and its inherently goofy mid-80s setting.

In one of his most memorable comedic turns, Sandler stars as Robbie, a wedding singer. He meets Julia (Barrymore) a waitress working one of his gigs. While they hit it off, it turns out they they are both engaged... But to the wrong people. Hilarity ensues! (As does a solid mix of memorable 80s hits, more than a few weird hairdos, and some great supporting performances from Christine Taylor, Ellen Dow, Alexis Arquette, Steve Buscemi and Billy Idol.
