Profile of Wedding Crashers

Wedding Crashers can be described as humorous. The plot revolves around looking for sex, buddies, and falling in love. Its comic aspect comes from irreverent humor. Wedding Crashers's main genres are comedy and romance. In terms of style, it has a Hollywood tone and features an all-star cast. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Wedding Crashers is located in Maryland and Washington DC. It takes place in contemporary times. The movie has received attention for being a blockbuster, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. Wedding Crashers is well suited for a date night and a boys' night.

Summary of Wedding Crashers

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 clichéd 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.

Entertainment Weekly
Funny, ungirdled romp - a buddy picture about buddies who actually know what women want.

Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times.

Laughing two hours away...
Hilarious, I have seen it a few times and I still enjoy parts of it. It is a classic, mainly male humor, but amazing. The ideal movie for the gang to get together for a laugh night with Pizza / Souvlaki and Beers.
The spirit which animates this film turns out to be so mean, so selfish; so despicable that to "rate" it, is impossible. One has to ask: how do such no-talent sociopaths ever get in the position to make these films in the first place? This film is a...
