Would "wedding singer" set in 2003 have nostaglic appeal?
I'm basing this on the same passage of time between 1985 and 1998 (incase you didn't figure that out.)
So here is some facts of 2003:
Top songs - In Da Club (50 Cent) Crazy in Love (Beyonce) Where Is The Love (Black Eyed Peas)
Top movies - Pirates of the Carribean, Finding Nemo, 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Top TV - American Idol (season 2) Two and a Half men (season 1) Survivor (season 3)
President - George Bush
Top News - Iraq War starts
Mobile Phones - mostly Nokia
Top gadget - Ipod
Top social website - myspace
Top social communication app - MSN Messenger
So... you can see things have changed... but besides webpages and smartphones, are these really huge differences? Those songs aren't that different to things you'd hear today from new artists. The movies are more or less the same, just updated. Middle East still a mess.
So lets talk about the comedy. How long could you stretch a movie on Nokia phones being indestructible and Tom being your only friend on myspace?
Fashion? Justin Timberlake had already moved on from the blonde frosty tips to this: http://www.thefashionisto.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Justin-Timberlake-Celebrity-Buzz-Cut-Hairstyle-Picture.jpg Pretty modern looking.
Britney Spears could be a joke, in that she was still super hot:

Besides a few jokes here and there, I don't really see the potential for a nostalgic comedy set in 2003.
What do you think?
