With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff Shannon
On the DVD
The "Uncorked" edition of Wedding Crashers adds about 8 minutes of footage to the theatrical release. Of chief interest are extended beach and bathroom scenes between Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher, and Vaughn's extended confession to Father O'Neil (Henry Gibson), but there are also new scenes featuring Keir O'Donnell as the eccentric Todd and Ellen Albertini Dow as the potty-mouthed grandmother. This edition is billed as unrated because it wasn't resubmitted to the MPAA, but the sexier bathroom scene and coarser confession aren't particularly raunchier than the original film, and there's no additional nudity. You can watch the Uncorked edition once to see the new footage, but for subsequent viewings you'll probably choose to stick with the theatrical release, which is also included on the DVD.
Bonus features consist of two very good commentary tracks, one by director David Dobkin and another by Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Dobkin's is more technically informative, and he specifically discusses why the added scenes were originally cut. Vaughn and Wilson are a little more subdued than might be expected, but they share some laughs, recall some material that was left out, and wander into irrelevant territory such as football and Wilson's dog. Other features include four deleted scenes with optional commentary by Dobkin, and two featurettes covering the making of the film (including the logistics of staging five different weddings, and interviews with the "magic and balloon consultant") and Vaughn and Wilson's meandering discussion of "the rules" of wedding crashing. For a more organized recap, there's a 24-screen text-only list of all the rules. The opening menu is clever, but slow to load after you've watched it the first time. --David Horiuchi

 Baba Ganoosh July 19, 2006
Wedding Crashers is a riot! The "Crashers" referred to are played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson and they have great chemistry together. We easily believe that these two guys are the best friends that they play in the film. The plot is simply enough described. Vaughn and Wilson play two carefree bachelors who crash weddings to pick up women. As the weddings go by we see that Wilson's character is somewhat weary of the superficial nature of their exploits. In a final hurrah to the wedding season the guys decide to crash the wedding of a daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury (played by Cristopher Walkin). There Wilson's character falls in love at first sight with one of the Secretary's other daughters, played by Rachel McAdams, and Vaughn's character has a fling with the third of Walkin's daughters, Gloria. Gloria, a wild and cooky character, falls instantly in love with Vaughn and the two buddies end up invited to the Secretary's summer house--much to Vaughn's chagrin. There Wilson tries to make time with McAdams and despite the fact that she is engaged, he wins her over until the guys are exposed as wedding crashers by McAdams creepy fiance. Wilson's character then goes through a period of despair over never seeing his "soul's counterpoint" again. In the end of course, things all go as they will in buddy movies and it's done somewhat more sincerely than usual in this type of bawdy comedy.
Most importantly, this movie is raucously funny! It isn't for kids, but for adults who want to laugh out loud and don't mind some raunchiness, this is a movie for you.
 Interesting concept...and that's about all July 18, 2006
First of all, I think the idea of picking up women at weddings and funerals quite clever. Anyone whoever been to a wedding knows all the single women are in full fairy tale mode and are ripe for the picking. It's probably the only place a janitor could get some serious play. So the first part of the film I found very funny. But then the rest of the story with Owen's character falling in love and the girl's jerk of a fiance all too cliche and predictable. I was actually bored--except when the brother nearly rapes Vaughn's character. That's an accomplishement to make a near rape funny...but the rest ho hum. Is it over yet?
A funny comedy with a heart. July 16, 2006

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson show us in this film that they are a great comedy team. That play a pair of long time friends who are close and have the same strange vacation.... the Crash Weddings.
The movie sets us up with a montage of how they crash these weddings. And we see that not only do they have a great time, free food & drinks and always get their woman...but also they do it in such a way that you do not hate them. They seem to be the reason the wedding is so much fun. And you know that you would want them to crash your wedding. I think we are also shown this to see that they have developed a formula that they have found to be very successful.
Everything changes when they add one more wedding they did not plan for. A wedding of a daughter of a very powerful Washington, D.C. political family. The move in with their formula, but then things starts to go wrong and they start breaking their own rules. And they start to get really involved in the lives of the girls they are chasing and their family.
The movie is very funny, but has moments that are tender. Almost turning into a Romantic Comedy, but right before that happens, we get pulled back into the comedy and it breaks the moment. Though you know it was there. It is as if the first half of the movie was written as a pure comedy and then the last half the writers wanted to show character development and slip into a Romantic Comedy. It still works, but if they had gone for one genre it would have been much better. Still worth watching
Awesomely Hilarious July 14, 2006
There's not much more you can say about Wedding Crashers, aside from the fact that it is just plain hilarious. The awkward moments that arise throughout this movie make it all the more humorous. I would definitely suggest this movie to anyone, especially those who love to laugh. This is definitely a keeper!
Mild farce that falls apart July 13, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This film is sexy and hilarious for the first 45 minutes. Vince Vaughan delivers what may be one of the most skilled performances in recent memory and Christopher Walken is sublime. The love story between Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams has a nice chemistry and the film captures the true spirit of an old fashioned farce once inside the house.
But it runs into major structural and pacing problems in the second half. The story literally goes on for over a year while we sit and wait and pine for something, anything to happen that resembles the energy of the first half. And when something finally does happen, it's too late and too illogical. It feels like two people wrote the script: a comic genious wrote the first half and they pulled a name out of a hat to determine who would write the second half. So what you're left with is a feeling of deep unsatisfaction because the film had the potential to be one of the great comedies of the last 10 years.
