Synopsis: In the outrageous comedy, Wedding Crashers, divorce mediators John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are business partners and life-long friends who share one truly unique... In the outrageous comedy, Wedding Crashers, divorce mediators John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are business partners and life-long friends who share one truly unique springtime hobby…crashing weddings! Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party - Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu - the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven "rules of wedding crashing" to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken) and his wife Kathleen (Jane Seymour) is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington, D. C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on bridesmaids Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) Cleary. With the lavish reception in full swing, Jeremy works his game plan to perfection in seducing Gloria, but John's flirtatious banter with Claire is unexpectedly impeded by her pompous, Ivy League boyfriend Sack (Bradley Cooper). Having uncharacteristically fallen hard and fast for Claire, John convinces a resistant Jeremy to bend the crashing rules and accept an invitation to an extended weekend party at the Cleary family compound. Once at the palatial waterfront estate, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the hysterically dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but also learn a few unexpected lessons about love and relationships. Wedding Crashers is a New Line Cinema presentation of a Tapestry Films production directed by David Dobkin (Shanghai Knights). The original screenplay was written by Steve Faber & Bob Fisher. The producers are Tapestry Films partners Peter Abrams, Robert L. Levy and Andrew Panay. The executive producers are Guy Riedel, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Cale Boyter. The creative team includes director of photography Julio Macat, ASC, production designer Barry Robison, costume designer Denise Wingate, composer Rolfe Kent, and editor Mark Livolsi. In addition to Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the talented cast also includes Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Jane Seymour, Ellen Albertini Dow, Bradley Cooper and Ron Canada. New Line Cinema will release Wedding Crashers nationwide on July 15th, 2005. -- © New Line Cinema [More]

It’s good, but it’s no Anchorman.

Far and away the funniest film I'’ve seen all year.

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are an inspired comedy double act; hopefully they’ll do more movies as a team after this.

The laidback stars are funny and sweet, but they're let down by a patchy script which squanders some potentially priceless set-ups.

Enjoyably silly but far too long, this buddy rom-com has sharp enough characters and a witty script that keeps us laughing when it wants to.

Outrageous set-ups and saucy dialogue keep the party going and, while it staggers erratically to its conclusion, Wedding Crashers always has its heart in the right place.

This is all likely to go over like gangbusters at the box office ... but the overall sloppiness and genial contempt for the viewer is tough to ignore.

What should've been an absolutely raucous and no-holds-barred lusty farce is nothing but lame-***, safe, predictable, lowest common denominator, no-laffs garbage

you know there's something wrong with a movie when Christopher Walken doesn't get, or give, even one funny line of dialogue.

With great acting, hilarious gags, and great writing, it actually lives up to the hype.

The frontrunner for this summer's funniest flick, Wedding Crashers is American Pie for grownups.

The flick brings two hours of great big sloppy buck-wild laughs by morphing into a cross between Meet the Parents and Some Like It Hot.

... loaded with vile language, despicable behavior by scheming men and features as much topless female nudity as a standard issue movie from the '70s. Go see it!

The energetic first hour has a majority of the hearty laughs before the script shifts unsuccessfully into heartwarming mode.

The one-liners are fast and furious, Vaughn has never been funnier, and the supporting cast is always one-upping each other.

It's an easy, breezy, lanky Hollywood rom-com with a brain, for most of its running time.

An insipid romance, with some of the funniest guys in Hollywood squandered on gay jokes, a foul-mouthed grandmother and a checklist of family dysfunction.

These Wedding Crashers are not for kids. For grown-ups who like their humor rutting and smart, however, they're unexpected but welcome guests.

Wilson is sweet and cuddly in his insincerity, and Vaughn is so delightedly sleazy that his joy in his own ruthlessness is infectious
