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,...
more...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.

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, whatever the wedding they will crash it. They have a game plan and the 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. They then charm the guests and become the flavour of the reception until they get the girl that they set their sights on into the bedroom.

The duo hit a snag when they crash one of the weddings after having quickly set their sights on bridesmaids Claire played by Rachel McAdams and Gloria played by Isla Fisher, John unexpectedly falls hard and fast for Claire, whilst Jeremy ends up with Gloria and that it where the drama unfolds and the humor starts, unfortunately Jeremy does not feel the same way that Gloria feels for him, although in the end fortune bring both couples together after a few hiccups along the way.

Having watched this film a couple of times and being a great fan of Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughan and Will Ferrell, I am a little biased. The film keeps throwing funny comedy moments and some great dialogue in scene after scene.

This is a must see for comedy lovers!
