You either love this film or you hate it. Wilson and Vaughn are the perfect modern comedy duo like Abbott and Costello. The humour may be a bit near the knuckle but the chemistry between the leads more than makes up for it. All the cast do a great job shame there's no plans for Wedding crashers 2 .....

I love the premise of the film - two men who avoid commitment have the absurd hobby of crashing the weddings of complete strangers. But I've never watched this movie to the end. I always get bored, and I get to the point where I don't care about what happens to the characters. It's a shame that most scenes go on way too long. Most could be cut by half and still make sense. Owen Wilson, as usual, is completely charming, and he's nicely complemented by sweet love interest Rachel McAdams. Vince Vaughn can be wickedly funny when his character feels out if his depth, but he needed a tight rein from the director in this movie -- instead, he can be really annoying, droning on while trying to be witty. I disliked Isla Fisher's wacky stalker character. It's just silly at times, it's as though she decided to play it over the top, but it jars against the other, more grounded characters. In the family mansion, scenes deteriorate into slapstick. The family just comes across as weird and scary rather than eccentric, which I suspect was the intention. The characters fall back on crude pranks, and the film loses focus.

The purpose of all comedy movies is to make you laugh your head off so much that you are actually laughing with what the characters are doing, but that is not the case with David Dobkin's Wedding Crashers. The movie stars Owen Wilson as John Beckwith and Vince Vaughn as Jeremy Grey who are two men who belong in the wedding crashing business, but I have to give them credit for knowing how to get in and how to crash one. Before I watched this film I thought it was actually going to be funny throughout, but turns out I was mostly wrong because most of it was just humor with no humorous replies with laughs as this movie was expecting, I also thought that this movie in every scene was just going to be how they plan and crash weddings but in the scenes where John and Jeremy do so you just can't tell how they are doing because in advance all Jeremy says to John before they crash into a Jewish style wedding was"We have a bunch of weddings to crash". Then a few weeks after that wedding they find out that that Treasury Secretary William Cleary's (played by Christopher Walken) daughter Christina (played by Jenny Alden) is about to get married to a guy named Trap (played by David Conrad). The only things that I noticed during the Secretary's daughter's wedding was the facial expressions (especially those by Walken). i really do think that the director to this movie David Dobkin could have done a much better job than what he did without thinking of revisions for his direction before the film was released. Then John ends up falling in love with one of the Secretary's daughter Claire (played by Rachel McAdams) when she already has a boyfriend with a sort of native American name Sack Lodge (played by Bradley Cooper) (What a huge coincidence that is, also when Sack doesn't even know about it). there was a lot of other things I hated about this movie besides the directing, I didn't like the story especially because it made fun of a time where we are supposed to feel good about ourselves and that is when someone gets married to the person who we think is the correct person to marry, the acting i would have to give half credit because in some scenes the acting was good as well as totally stupid/insane at the same time, the person who really does give the creepiest performance in this film as Isla Fisher (who also plays as one of Secretary Cleary's daughters) who plays a woman who is thought to be a virgin to some men when she is really a sex offender, and not only that there is also other people who gave horrible performances such as Will Ferrell as John's friend Chazz who end up crashing a funeral and Ferrell acts like a spoiled brat, Ellen Albetini Dow as the crazed grandmother who does act like the pessimistic octopus from the animated nickelodeon TV show Spongebob Squarepants, and by the way during the scene when John and Chazz were crashing the funeral I thought to myself "What did this movie turn into? funeral crashers", I also hated the script to the movie because of the fact that most of it was sexual garbage,and i especially hated Keir O' Donnell's performance as the only son in the Cleary family Todd who is a freakishly homosexual artist who tries to creep the heck out of Jeremy. What a dumb movie.

Wedding Crashers is a romantic comedy about two lawyers who attend weddings to meet and sleep with beautiful women for a one-night stand.It stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn together with Rachel McAdams,Isla Fisher and Christopher Walken. This hilarious film was directed by David Dobkin.Jeremy Klein and John Beckwith are long-time friends who work at a law firm helping couples go through their divorces.Their work made them develop a pessimistic and cynical attitude towards marriage and commitment. On their spare time,both acts as wedding crashers to meet and sleep with beautiful women.Trouble begins when both attend the wedding of the daughter of William Cleary, the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible Presidential candidate.During the event,John fall in love head over heels with Claire Cleary,one of the bridesmaids and and John got the attention of Gloria,also one of the bridesmaids and Cleary's daughter who happens to be promiscuous.They stay at the wedding longer than expected and things become awry as they get to know more about the Cleary family members which in the end would change their attitude towards love and marriage.This was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.Vaughn and Wilson proved to be effective in their comedic scenes and have provided great comic performance in the movie as they managed to elicit lots of fun and laughter especially with their raunchy humor.Their chemistry is also worthy of mention as well.Added to that,having McAdams and Fisher as their love interest proved noteworthy as well as both actresses were charming,appealing and funny as well.Apart from comedy,it was also sweet as the viewer will also find the development of characters particularly with their attitude towards love and marriage both sweet and touching This definitely lives up to the hype and surely deserves the highest rating.
