Runtime: 2 hrs 8 mins

Genre: Comedies

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]

Of the two stars, Vaughn definitely gets the funnier lines, reducing Wilson almost to the role of straight man. Isla Fisher though, manages to steal every scene that she's in, away from both of them.

Sadly, in spite of its cast and seemingly can't-miss premise, Wedding Crashers is at its best a succession of mild chuckles.

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

There is a serious undertow which gives the humour its ballast, but the script does fade out past its natural ending

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

Wilson and Vaughn generate more chemistry than a high school science project.

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

The delayed frathouse antics haven’t a shock in them.

probably the funniest film this year and it's doubtful anything else will be able to challenge that position.

[T]he most thrillingly indecent movie of the year … any movie that unites Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn … has little choice but to be pretty hysterical from start to finish.

There are some terrifically funny scenes, but nearly everything is predictable, and, at two hours, it slightly overstays its welcome.

If you want to have a little old-fashioned, questionable fun at the movies, don’t miss this midsummer treat.

Vaughn and Wilson handle their comedic duties with the ease and flair of a seasoned team, maybe the second-coming of Hope and Crosby.

The first half of the film finds lot of easy laughs, but the more serious second half tries harder and gets even bigger laughs.

The promise of its raunchy spirit is eventually overthrown by a gooey sentimentality.

Going against the hype, Wedding Crashers wisely favors sophistication over shock value. How you feel about that depends on the open-mindedness of your own inner child.
