Two friends who have turned crashing weddings (to score free food, free booze and loose women) into an art form find their values challenged when invited to spend the weekend with a politician and his unmarried daughters in this jovial comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. The two stars have excellent chemistry together and the film gets off to a great start with many funny moments to be had as they crash an extensive variety of weddings while reciting a charter of over one hundred rules to one another, such as "Rule #16: Always have an up-to-date family tree" when almost caught out. The fun slows down though when they begin to spend the weekend with the politician. Christopher Walken is solid as always as the community pillar of a man and his family are a nicely eccentric bunch, with Jane Seymour well cast as his cougar wife and Keir O'Donnell delightful as his closeted gay son obsessed with painting. The film tries too hard to have a heart in this section though and subsequently slides into formulaic territory quickly with Wilson winning a girl, losing her through betrayal and then having to win her back. The movie also rather oddly spends more time on Wilson and Vaughn talking about growing up and leaving their wedding crashing days behind than their actual crashing of weddings. It is all a tad too sweet if surely passable as light entertainment.

Wedding Crashers (2005): Dir: David Dobkin / Cast: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken: Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson play the duo who wreck havoc on innocence by deceiving women into sleeping with them at weddings. Central plot regards the wedding of a politician's daughter but Wilson falls for her. Detailed screenplay directed by David Dobkin who previously made the mediocre Shanghai Knights. Vaughn and Wilson have hilarious chemistry as they become emotionally stranded at this wedding. Wilson grows a conscious and becomes the target of the violent groom. Vaughn steals scenes with one-liners and a wild erotica that strikes him in a surprising manner. Rachel McAdams plays the politician's daughter engaged to an over-jealous football hooligan. She is intelligent and striking despite the formula in which the screenplay places her. Isla Fisher steals scenes as the hyper daughter in pursuit of Vaughn. She is kinky to the point where Vaughn is paranoid to remain there any longer. This is where the film takes interesting turns in unusual situations thus avoiding a full formula delivery. Christopher Walken provides great comic monotone as the father of the bride and he nearly catches Vaughn in late night kinky action. Great comedy about relationships based on truth and honor without the interruptions of deceit and dishonor. Score: 10 / 10
I had this movie in my mental watchlist for a while. I decided to give it a look and it was just what I expected, and that is, an entertaining movie from start to end, laughs, nothing groundbreaking, some clichés here and there, and a good heart. Wedding Crashers is the kind of movie you can watch several times without getting bored, as I said, it's nothing groundbreaking, you can tell how is gonna end half way trough, and you can see clichés from the typical romantic comedies, but it's executed very very well that you fall for it. There's a lot of laughs and "heart moments", Owen and Vince have an amazing chemistry, hope I see them in more movies together. Conclusion: Go watch it, turn off you brain and enjoy.
