Directed by: David Dobkin Starring: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour Synopsis: Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson play two fellows that crash weddings to pick up chicks so much so that they have it perfected down to a science. When Owen Wilson's character, John Beckwith, falls in love with his prey at a wedding, things go beyond the 'science' the two thought they had mastered. Review: From that point onward, the movie gets pretty predictable and in some cases, cheesey. The only thing that keeps it from turning into a pile of poo poo is the amount of comedy that comes out of the situation that Wilson and Vaughn's characters are placed in. Also the wonderful amount of boobs add a nice suprise. RATING: 3.5 PROS: This is a funny film. CONS: Romance side of things got a bit cheesey and sometimes distracting (though it made me cry deep down inside). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396269/

I went into this movie expecting something completely different than what actually tanspired. I have never laughed so hard out loud at a movie before. In my opinion, I thought this to be more enjoyable than other recent comedies from the same cast; Old School, Anchorman, Dodgeball, et. al while all funny movies can't stand on their own when compared to this film. The chemistry here between Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn is great. Also very well done acting by the rest of the team including Chistopher Walken as the Dad and Jane Seymour as the mom. The entire time throughout this movie, I was thinking to myself how I am definately making this a DVD purchase when it becomes available. A comedy that is a bit more highbrow than Old School and the like, It can entertain audiences of any age (as evident from the reaction of the crowd of people around me). I can recommend this movie wholeheartedly. 4/5

Went in to the theatre expecting a semi-family oriented film with some adult themes... Wow was I wrong. within the first ten minutes: "Why don't you kiss my left nut?," boobs galore... towards the middle of the film: vince vaughn getting a handjob under the dinner table, more boobs... then some sappy denoument. I can't wait to see the directors cut. If it ever comes out. Pros: Funny, well timed toilet humor. Cons: Cliché romantic comedy sappiness. 3.5

In a nutshell: Thanks to a perfect cast with nearly-perfect chemistry, every last drop is squeezed out of an otherwise tired and predictable script with mixed direction. Go see it on the cheap or someone else's dime.

Looking forward to this movie since I saw the previews and knowing how well I enjoyed Old School I had high hopes for this. Especially listening to Owen Wilson talk about how luscious Jane Seymores breats were I knew this would be great. The opening hit off with a comedy bang as Jeremy (Vince Voughn) calmly explains that marriage is "two people who enjoy loving just trying to make it honest". Theater errupts in laughter galore and I miss whatever he said after this as I too was laughing. I felt that the start of the movie did not focus on the science that these guys had the wedding crashing down too, but sped through it only to see boobies flashing on the screen which made me forget the science and enjoy the movie even more. When the dust finally settles on them crashing the Christopher Walken comedy fest Wedding things start to get even better than the hilarious beginning. The parts that stood out is what a loving great and scary actress Isla Fisher is. First of all she is hot as gently caress and has a nice body. Oh and you see her boobies which are worth the price of admission alone. Anyways she is a loving great actress and makes her character especially believable when she tells Jeremy that he better not leave her because she'll find him. At this point I have flash backs of every psychotic bitch I have ever dated. Anyways there were even more hilarity to this movie but I don't want to give it away. Just go see it as it wont disappoint. Oh and I would say that by far this is the best comedy of the year. 9/10 Boobies since you could only see Jane Seymores breast covered by the hand. 5.0/5.5

I see a lot of movies. When something funny happens, I usually smile. Maybe once every 3 or so movies I'll see something that actually makes me laugh out loud. I laughed at many points of this movie. Many. Yes, there is a hokey romance thing in it, but who the gently caress cares, its a loving great, funny, and boobs movie. 5.5/5

i thought the preview looked dumb and i got dragged into the movie anyway, but ended up blown away. Okay, so the plot's clichéd and there's nothing that over the top in the movie, but who cares, it was hilarious 4.5/5

It's been said already, but I must also add that I am getting really loving tired of the main character starting off as a cynic, falling in love with the girl, then realizing the error of his ways and having a big confessional scene where he throws himself at her feet at the end of the movie. Just loving stop it already. For once, I'd like to see a movie where the character actually sticks to his principles. It'd be interesting and refreshing to watch the conclusion of a movie where the main character doesn't do a complete 180 and turn into a total pussy. Especially in a movie like this, which had all the potential to not have an average cop out romantic comedy ending. That being said, this movie was really funny. The psycho girl was terrifying and hilarious, and will really resonate with anyone who's been involved with crazies themselves. And there's a nice plot twist involving her and Vince Vaughn's character that I didn't see coming, and I thought was a nice touch. they end up together, when I just figured the rest of the movie would be him trying to escape from her and getting into increasingly more awkward situations. 3.5/5, it could have easily been so much better if it didn't pander to the paperback romance novel crowd at the end.

I really enjoyed this film. It had all the trimmings found in a typical hollywoood comedy aimed at the 18 - 24 demographic, but it still felt fresh. I think the R rating should become more common among these types of movies. 4/5

All I can say that this is a great movie. It is funny the whole way through and that cheesey ending everyone keeps on about isn't too bad at all. A great movie when you just want to sit back and relax and have a good laugh. PROS: Fun movie to watch with good acting and tons of hot women. CONS: It ended. 4/5

I thought it started out a bit slow, but for 3/4 of the film I was in stitches. I actually developed a dry cough from laughing too much, but I wouldn't risk missing anything to get some water. It's hilarious. 4.5/5

The only bad thing about this movie was that I didn't catch a lot of it because the (packed) theater laughed too loving hard, and I, too, was laughing along with them - harder than I remember ever laughing at a movie. I will have no problems seeing this time and time again, and will be purchasing it the day of its release on DVD. 5.5/5

This movie was hilarious and very well put together/acted. It reminds me of those great movies of the 70s/80s like Animal House. Vince Vaugn had me choking I was laughing so hard. It got sorta sappy at times but that's to be expected. 5/5.

The movie was pretty funny, for the first half, but fell into a pretty harsh lull for the second half. Lotsa Romantic Comedy cliches. Will Farrell's cameo was more uncomfortable than anything. But the jokes are phenomenal, and Dr. Quinn's boobs are most excellent. 3.5/5

Saw this last night, and definitely lived up to my hopes and expectations. The trailer really doesn't give much of the movie away, which is refreshing. I'm tired of going to see comedies and having all the really funny parts already tired from endless trailers. The acting really worked, and the theatre was rolling the whole time. And the fiancee dude really made me want to kill him. Seriously. All in all, lots of nice tittays, good raunchy comedy. 4.0/5, but 4.5/5 due to "She just eye-hosed the poo poo out of me!"

Saw this movie last night with a good girl friend of mine and we both laughed our asses off. Isla Fisher did a great job as a crazy girl. That and I think she is so cute. Vince Vaughan was hilarious and Owen wilson did a good job. I didnt so much like the cameo made near the end but what the hell he did a pretty good job. There is a great scene at the dinner table with the grandma, and I have to say, evertime she would open her mouth, the theater would erupt in laughter and just when it was about to die down, they would cut to her again and the laughter would continue. I still have no idea what was said in that scene, except for what she said because I couldn't hear Owen Wilson over the laughter. 4.5 all the way.

This movie hits the ground running. Vince Vaughn is the new Robin Williams, able to deliver a verbal machine-gun of one-liners and observations. Owen Wilson plays the straight man and is dull, but servicable. For the first half of the film this movie is hilarious and a candidate for one of the greatest comedies of all time. About halfway through the movie suddenly decides to engage it's plot, which would be fine, except the plot isn't funny - it's boring. The movie lurches to a halt and, with the exception of a few zingers, the laughs stop. What a shame. 2.5/5

quote:Megaman's Jockstrap came out of the closet to say: Agreed. The diatribes that he is able to rattle off are guaranteed to generate a laugh. I'd have to add that I didn't see much in the cameo -- it was a bit (lot)over the top. The sap that came in the final 1/4 of the movie was too much and left me feeling that the movie ran longer than it actually did. Cutting a bit more of the cheese at the end would have left a classic comedy. As it stands, worth seeing, maybe not buying - 3.5/5

This was a an OK movie. But just that... OK. About as good as Old School or Dodgeball. If you loved those movies, you'll love this. I'm not sure I understand all the "OMG BEST COMEDY OF THE YEAR" references in this thread though. I thought the movie dragged on for too long. Alot of scenes could have been cut way shorter (the beginning introduction for example). I honestly thought VInce Vaughn seemed to babble at times. He had too many lines it seemed in places where he didn't need to. I laughed... but not anymore than when I wathced the two movies mentioned above. 2.5/5

I very rarely like comedy movies anymore, so I had no desire to see this one. My friends told me to come see it with them anyway, so I went, and was pleasantly surprised. Good, fun movie. Nothing revolutionary, but nothing too dumb either. 4/5

Vince Vaughn is worth seeing this movie for, not only for his one-liners but the actual character he creates in the movie. Owen Wilson is funny but nothing special. Will Farrell has the funniest cameo I've seen in ages. Definitely one of the funniest movies of the summer (Aristocrats takes the prize I'm sorry) 4.5/5

I was surprised that the wedding crashing was less than half of the movie (personally, I would have loved for them to expand on that). What happened during the real parts of the plot left me a little disappointed. Some of the humor got a little senseless and crude towards the middle and end. Gay art kid and jacking someone off under a table?. Also, the acting was not terrible, but certainly not oscar-worthy. This was just a nice summer comedy flick. 3.5/5

A good movie that could've been great with tighter editing (the 10 minute montage in the beginning is funny at first, but quickly becomes tiresome), less plot cliches (same jerk-off boyfriend with a short haircut who [spoiler]has bowel/stomach problems; same hokey, ridiculous, romantic ending; in many cases, same dialogue as its brethren), and more opportunities for Christopher Walker to demonstrate his weirdness. Vince Vaughn is definitely the highlight of Wedding Crashers, going off on long, insane rants, making crazy faces, and in general, getting into more comedic situations than Owen Wilson. Flawed, but still funny. 3/5

I thought this was a pretty good movie. Not as funny as Anchorman or Dodgeball, but still funny in it's own right. Though I'd grown to dislike Owen Wilson's character by the end, Vince Vaughn more than made up for it. Also, the cameo by Will Ferrel was comedy gold. Voting 4/5.

My favorite two comedies lately have been Anchorman and 40-Year-Old Virgin. I know this movie is popular, but it didn't really do it for me. Some of the side characters were pretty weak and the plot was pretty lame and overall it felt like "Meet the Parents" but maybe not as good.

It was a funny movie although it was obviously carried by Vince Vaugh. Christopher Walken was basically a cameo character that had more than one line. He didn't have a big role in the movie like he should've. Both of the girls were hot, at least to me, so that at least made the storyline believable. Some of the jokes fell flat, however Vaugh saved a lot of lackluster scenes. I'll probably pick up the DVD. Especially if it had a blooper reel. 3.5/5

A lot of people have actually enjoyed this movie as a great piece of comedy. I myself though it was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. I am a big Vince Vaughn fan and adding in the beautiful Rachel McAdams, I'm a happy man. Overall I would say 4/5 because there were times it started to get a little slow and serious for me.

I thought this move was both entertaining and incredibly funny, I couldn’t stop laughing. It kept me laughing the whole time and had an entertaining plot to back it. Vince Vaughan was very funny and he had some truly memorable scenes. I enjoyed every moment. 5/5

gently caress this movie. It will seem really hilarious if you love overly-precious, longwinded dialogue written by a panel trying excruciatingly hard to seem clever. It also hates and fears women, based on how readily they are willing to fall for ugly, unconvincing con-men like Wilson and Vaughn. Owen Wilson is the ugliest motherfucker in movies and I'm swearing off movies where we're supposed to buy that he could actually convince girls to sleep with him (hint: all of them).

Why the gently caress is this movie two hours long? The laughs are spread so thin that by the end I was honestly begging for it to end. For every laugh there's also a  at some lame romantic cliche, especially in the second half of the movie. Add in worthless cameos from Will Ferrel and Christopher Walken and what you get is honestly quite disappointing. The R rating means at one point when a chick would normally be in a bra, she's topless. OH MAN THERES BOOBS ON THE SCREEN  It failed to be the all out R-rated comedy I was hoping for, it takes itself far too seriously... I was expecting something on the level of Dodgeball, but instead got something closer to a genuine "romantic comedy". Yeah, it has some really funny parts but you've got to sit through a lot of semigenuine pussy banter just to hear it. 2.5

Just saw this last night via NetFlix:herr olhado posted:Why the gently caress is this movie two hours long? The laughs are spread so thin that by the end I was honestly begging for it to end. For every laugh there's also a Why is a movie called "Wedding Crashers" taking place almost exclusively at some rich secretary's estate? Everyone in the movie was a caricature of themselves and it was beyond predictable. From the moment Vaughn's hookup reveals herself to be a crazy virgin, the entire movie was totally predictable, with plodding, derivitave plot progression and the "big speech" at the end. This movie was not full of laughs, it just had a few jokes between lovely rom-com pandering. And this is a personal thing, but the surfer-dude aura Wilson puts out, comboed with his hosed-up nose makes him utterly unbelievable as a romantic lead. He isn't attractive or charming, and I hated every second of him on screen. Vaughn doesn't fare much better; at 6'6" the only thing you can think about is how tall he is and it detracts from everything else. Three to Tango did everything this movie did, only better and ten years ago: more charming leading man (Matt Perry), hotter love interest (Neve Campbell) and better villians (Dylan MacDermott).

Yes. It took me this long to finally get around to watching this movie. I'll be honest, I thought this would be a pretty kicking rad movie with Wilson and Vaughn teaming up (also: BOOBIES). I bit into the "pie" and there was no filling! Sure! There were a few laughs and funny bits and some boobies and what-not. But the movie tries to shoehorn in some sappy lovely silly romance and give it some moral fibre. gently caress MORAL FIBRE! Next time... MORE TITTIES. Also they should have had Will Ferrel's character more involved or not in the movie at all. I fast forwarded through many scenes past the halfway point in the movie where absolutely nothing was happening... just some bullshit romantic-knight-in-shining-armor-crap. This would be a good movie to watch with a girl you wanna bait into sex, just make sure to be in the bed getting hot and heavy before 2/3rds of the movie are through. 2/5
