bbewnylorac I love the premise of the film - two men who avoid commitment have the absurd hobby of crashing the weddings of complete strangers. But I've never watched this movie to the end. I always get bored, and I get to the point where I don't care about what happens to the characters. It's a shame that most scenes go on way too long. Most could be cut by half and still make sense. Owen Wilson, as usual, is completely charming, and he's nicely complemented by sweet love interest Rachel McAdams. Vince Vaughn can be wickedly funny when his character feels out if his depth, but he needed a tight rein from the director in this movie -- instead, he can be really annoying, droning on while trying to be witty. I disliked Isla Fisher's wacky stalker character. It's just silly at times, it's as though she decided to play it over the top, but it jars against the other, more grounded characters. In the family mansion, scenes deteriorate into slapstick. The family just comes across as weird and scary rather than eccentric, which I suspect was the intention. The characters fall back on crude pranks, and the film loses focus.
RealChristian14 After many people have seen The Internship and were disappointed in this Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson starrer,they all point out to this film - Wedding Crashers - as better film for them.Many will definitely not be disappointed as both played better as wedding intruders rather than Google interns.The Wedding Crashers tell the story of Jeremy and John - divorce lawyers whose pessimistic and cynical attitude towards the institution of marriage make them spend time together as wedding crashers to be able to partake in celebrations wherein they aren't invited and to be able to meet and sleep with beautiful women.They enjoy doing them despite the fact that John feels bothered by their actions.Then both decided to partake the Cleary wedding celebration wherein things change as Jeremy and John started to develop better views about relationships and marriage after they both get involved with the beautiful Cleary daughters - Gloria and Claire.This is definitely a great comedy as we get to see both Vince and Owen deliver a lot of laughs.There was raunchy and crude humor. There was also clean fun.The viewers will definitely sympathize with a lot of the characters particularly John and Claire,played excellently by Owen and Rachel McAdams respectively.Added to that,it was also fun to see the partnership between the promiscuous couple - Gloria and Jeremy - which was played great by Isla Fisher and Vince respectively.The wedding scenes at the first act of the film was definitely well-done by director David Dobkin as it allows us to enjoy and partake in the joyful wedding celebrations that both wedding crashers partake.Credit also has to go to the supporting cast as they were able to provide great performance particularly Christopher Walken and Bradley Cooper.Overall,it was a wonderful comedy that one will surely enjoy.
JLRMovieReviews Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are wedding crashers. They crash weddings to score with women. They crash and keep crashing. It's down to a science with rules and everything - what to do and and what not to do. They attend the wedding of Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour's daughter. What they don't count on is Owen getting caught by the love bug with another daughter, played by Rachel McAdams or Vince meeting another daughter who's a "needy clinger/psycho," played by Isla Fisher. And, Vince has bad luck in getting hurt throughout the film, courtesy of Bradley Cooper, who is engaged to Rachel! A foul-mouthed grandma, a gay son, and a tough-as-nails butler are all part of this kooky family, and Jane has the hots for Owen. The film is more like a roller-coaster ride with highs and lows than big laughs, though. The second half sags with more talking than outrageousness. This film really belongs to Vince Vaughn, as he's really good and Will Ferrell has a bit near the end to pick up the pace. All in all, it's raunchy adult fun that is good, but not as fulfilling as "The Forty-Year-Old Virgin."
Robert J. Maxwell Doesn't sound too promising, does it? Two aging adolescents -- Vincent Vaughan and Owen Wilson -- plan to crash lots of wedding in order to score.They'll introduce themselves as distant family members with adventurous but tragic pasts. They'll invent tales of their achievements. They'll wear Purple Hearts to the events. And it works. They stuff themselves on cake, oysters, and champagne and the beautiful girls are all over them. They dance to a hora at Jewish weddings. At Irish weddings, they present themselves this way, "My name is Sean O'Ryan and I want to get drunk."Then the inevitable happens. They crash the wedding party attended by the Secretary of State. (John McCain and James Carville do a cameo.) The Secretary is Christopher Walken and he has two gorgeous young daughters. Vaughan falls for the maniacal nympho, who is half his height and given to S/M. Wilson falls for the sensible Rachel McAdams, although she is already engaged to a snooty ex-preppy. It all works out. That's why this can be called a romantic comedy.Actually, the first half of the movie is pretty funny. Yes, the whole shtick is out of one of those raunchy teen-aged comedies, but these guys are funny.Vincent Vaughan is a tall, beefy loudmouth who seems to have trouble with comedy, although he's got some good lines. He's great as a cheerful villain, as he was in "Clay Pigeons," but light-heartedness almost defeats him and there's a speed bump whenever he has a scene.Owen Wilson, on the other hand, is good at light comedy. It's hard to imagine his doing anything else. When I first saw him on screen I didn't like him because he resembled Robert Redford, whom I loathe for being more handsome than I, but Wilson grows on you. You get to find that uneven nose endearing. It wanders down the center of his face, an archipelago of flesh.Christopher Walken is immediately funny. He can't help it. Even in dramatic parts, those wondering eyes, that curious gargle of a New York voice, conjure up the conviction that he thinks being in a movie is absurd, that EVERYTHING is absurd. Maybe he OD'd on Sartre in his youth. He'd be funny as King Lear.The guru behind this wedding-crashing business is Will Ferrell. I wish he were funny because he tries so hard, but maybe that's the problem, in addition to his chthonic visage. By the end, he's given up crashing weddings and now crashes funerals. He's not as funny as the doddering old mother he sponges off, the tiny lady who suddenly belows, "Chazz! It's a friend of yours! Get the f*** down here -- and put away your skateboard!" The "girls" are as good as the boys. Better even, because both Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher are pretty girls. Fisher, as Walken's younger daughter, whacks off Vaughan under the table at the family dinner and leaves him tied up at night so that the family's creepy homosexual son can have a go at him. There is a rich hint of lunacy in her squint.Rachel McAdams is revoltingly cute. She could have been drawn by a cartoonist. Every singular feature is in its rightful place and her bottom wriggles deliciously when she walks.I got a kick out of it until it bogged down in its second half, when it got a little maudlin about true love being the awareness of one soul of a corresponding resonance in another soul or some such nonsense. Still, some of the lines show that a bit of thought went into them. "He's so dumb he thinks Moby Dick is a venereal disease."
