Displaying talent, wit, intelligence, and ample charm, the pair seldom fails at their mutual mission of seduction. But eventually they get bored with the routine. Everything explodes when they crash an upper-crust wedding given by US Senator William Cleary (Christopher Walken). Jeremy (Vaughn) makes the ostensible mistake of seducing Cleary's sexually ravenous daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) and John (Wilson) falls head over heels for the beautiful, slightly sarcastic older sister, Claire (Rachel McAdams). But Claire is nearly engaged to a slimy, macho, ivy-league snob played with beady-eyed gusto by ALIAS's Bradley Cooper. The boys get lured away on a weekend trip to the Cleary's estate, which is when the film begins to resemble an early 1930s pre-code comedy with its innuendo-filled banter, eccentric grandmothers, suspicious rivals, and copious bed-hopping. Vaughn's motor-mouth aggression plays off Wilson's irresistible sensitivity (and vice versa) to such perfection that they leave other contemporary romantic comedy teams in the dust. They manage to get plenty of laughs and warmth from their believably close male friendship without resorting to any clichéd homoerotic references. Their respective love interests are also outstanding, particularly McAdams who displays extraordinary wit and presence in addition to her stunning beauty. Walken is surprisingly low-key as the senator, tuning his usual craziness down to a few tensile stares. Seventies mini-series staple Jane Seymour is memorable as the senator's sex-starved, boozed-up wife, who makes a play for John.

I've never been a huge Owen Wilson fan but I think he did an excellent job together with Vince Vaughn in this movie. From start to finish, you laugh your head off. There is no long, boring parts. You better like crude jokes because Vince Vaughn is full of them. I watched the movie in the theaters and have watched it 3 times since. And usually I don't watch movies more than once or twice.

I am a high fan of Vince Vaughn, the Owen brothers and / or Will Farell movies, so eagerly awaited the chance to see this movie - I had heard so many good things and was not dissapointed; I was entertained and amused the whole way through! This movie features some big names, aside from our stars above, it also features the hysterical Christopher Walken, up coming actresses Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher; and established star Jane Seymore - all of whom play excellent and funny characters in this 2 hour romp! The premise of this movie being our two stars - Vaughn and Owen get their weekend thrills from the 'art' of wedding crashing - they read the wedding columns to learn of upcoming nuptials, create a character to fit it, and blend in at a wedding or ten with the goal of meeting women...lots and lots of women! Only things take a turn when they Owen falls for one wedding guest while Vaughn tries to escape from another overly attached bridesmaid, played to perfection by Fisher!! A weekend with the family follows with some absurdly funny scenes....the movie just keeps going with the comedy and brilliant one liners!! Farell gets introduced late in the movie, but his appearance , though brief, is in his typical comedic style and is brilliant and disgusting all at the smae time! Politically correct, this movie is not....which is okay by me, as I can watch it again and again when I am ready for a good old laugh!! The characters shine and you cannot help thinking that the stars were having as much fun filming this , as we do when watching!! Great stuff!! Review ID: 10000000001875927 Was this review helpful?

I have to keep watching it to see what I missed while I was laughing. Get it now and get more than one copy if you can.... some friend or family member is sure to borrow it and not return it. For real! Best comedy of the year for sure. Review ID: 10000000000140808 Was this review helpful?

Hilarious I expected BIG THINGS from Wedding Crashers. Wedding Crashers not only met, but exceeded my expectations. Vaughn and Wilson are superb as usual. Rachel McAdams is absolutely spectacular, and Christopher Walken is classic. Will Ferrell IS Chaz, wow... Will Ferrell does it again. Wedding Crashers is another one of those movies you can watch over and over again without it losing value. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: If you love Vaughn, Wilson, or Walken... or you just love to laugh over and over and over this movie is a must buy!!! IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you. Review ID: 10000000002461465 Was this review helpful? Report this review 11 of 14 people found this review helpful. I first watched this movie in my parent’s house and loved this film from the very first moment on! The only annoying thing was that my parents are quite strict Mormons and as people might know, Mormons like to believe that a little bit of sex is bad on TV. So they had to fast forward a few scenes!! I KNOW!! MAD!!! So I stopped the DVD, took it out and called over to my brother’s place to watch it there with him and by god did we have such a great laugh! We were in stitches all the way through! This film is not light entertainment, it is heavy laugh out loud comedy! A film that will make you want to tell everybody how great it is!! Review ID: 10000000001890696 Was this review helpful?
