>>>> Opinion
Whilst there is no doubting that this is one heck of a stupid film and at times unbelievably juvenile it is also at times incredibly funny as well as entertaining. Following the trend in recent cinema to create comedies which are more about set pieces than telling a story, although this one does seem to have more plot to it than most, "Wedding Crashers" is equally on par if not better ...

Wedding Crashers is a film that had me laughing from start to finish, it had some humor with a bit of romance in it too which is absolutely fantastic. What's more Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play great roles and do a really good job playing them too.
They play divorce mediators John Beck played by Owen Wilson and Jeremy Grey played by Vince Vaughn they are business partners and life long friends, they share one hobby and that is crashing weddings, ... ...proven rules to crashing a wedding and have mastered the art to all the finer details even to how they are related to the wedding party.

Advantages: Very funny and great casting. Disadvantages: You wish it could be even better.
..., and have excellent chemistry on screen.
The Dean of the college however, being as strict as they are stereotypically, tries to shut down the fraternity saying it is illegal. This could cost all the students who are a part of the frat club a place in college, how will they get around this one? And will Mitch find love again after coming home that day and finding out things he never knew or wanted to know about his wife?
Director Todd Phillips, best known for his work on Road Trip, brought across the partying magic to his next project perfectly. Nudity and swearing warrants the 15 certificate. If you've enjoyed comedys such as Road Trip, American Pie and WeddingCrashers there is no reason why this film shouldn't be for you, as there are a series of hilarious moments.
The film runs for 88 minutes, but if you watch the extra features...

DVD Description
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are an unbeatable combination as two Washington DC lawyers who get their kicks, and their girls, by crashing weddings. 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 cliched 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.
