  LOS ANGELES, CA (January 30, 2006) – Break out the Pac-Man, dust off those Billy Idol cassettes and fall in love with the ‘80s all over again as the romantic comedy The Wedding Singer: Totally Awesome Edition arrives on DVD on April 25, 2006, from New Line Home Entertainment. Just in time for the debut of the new, highly-anticipated Broadway musical, The Wedding Singer: Totally Awesome Edition reacquaints you with some of the most tubular moments in comedy set against a hot, ‘80s soundtrack. After getting dumped at his own wedding, the ultimate master of ceremonies, Adam Sandler (The Longest Yard, Happy Gilmore) finds love again in his totally cool soul mate, Drew Barrymore (50 First Dates, Charlie’s Angels). The buffet of extras includes an ‘80s Mix Tape, an exclusive preview of the Broadway show and more than five minutes of never-before-seen footage. The Wedding Singer: Totally Awesome Edition will be available at a $19.97 SRP with an order due date of March 21, 2006.
  SYNOPSIS
  It’s 1985, and Robbie Hart (Sandler) is a wedding singer who can cover the hits, deliver the perfect toast and even get Grandma on the dance floor moving to the “Rapper’s Delight.” But, when Robbie is dumped at his own wedding, he has a total eclipse of the heart and becomes the ultimate cynic. It’s not until he meets a waitress named Julia (Barrymore) that Robbie starts to come around. Julia is about to get married herself, though, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a lifetime, the girl of his dreams may be gone forever.
