SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
SimonJack The few instances of actual humor in "Wedding Crashers" can't raise this film above cheap garbage. Owen Wilson is capable of some very good comedy at times, but is mostly lacking here. I don't care to castigate actors personally. But the belligerent persona of Vince Vaughn's character is a turn off for me. I'm surprised that some actors would be part of something this crass and crude. Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour can do very good comedy as well as serious acting. Apparently, most viewers don't see the denigrating attitude this film exudes toward women. The two male leads clearly are misogynists, seeing women just as sex objects.This film is little more than a vulgar view of women. One hopes this type of claptrap isn't a sign of further degeneration of civilization.
littleted 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 .....
Irie212 The first time I saw "Wedding Crashers," I thought it was fun. So I watched it again, and wow. Never in my experience has a movie shown its formulaic structure and cheap laughs faster or more thoroughly than this one does upon a second viewing. By the third viewing-- which I did purely out of curiosity-- I felt more like I was autopsying the movie than watching it.The heroine, Claire Cleary, is the key to this movie. She is the only believable character, and Rachel McAdams is one of those rare actors who can generate chemistry with almost anyone. She's the female equivalent of Mark Ruffalo: engaging and expressive actors, simultaneously exuding strength and vulnerability, intelligence and emotion, all of it in a fully integrated way.The rest of the characters-- with the exception of Christopher Walken, who manages to bring dignity to his role as patriarch-- are stereotypes, and despicable stereotypes at that, though the strong cast almost brings it off-- hence the relatively healthy 6 rating. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan are overgrown juveniles, though Wilson's character is made redeemable by virtue of his love for Claire. Vaughan is always up to verbal comedy, and here he handles physical comedy well enough, too. A good thing, because he gets wounded in football, again in a hunting accident, an old lady fires a shotgun at him, and Claire's sex-crazed sister (Isla Fisher) gives him a handjob at a family dinner, then later ties him to the bed so she can have her way with him. Later that same night, still tied up, Vince becomes the toy of another stereotype, the brother, a gay artist. The least effort went into the creating the grandmother (Ellen Albertini Dow, 92 at the time), who is a standard a foul-mouthed old woman, the mother (Jane Seymour), a horny middle-aged woman, and the weary-of-white-folks servant (Ron Canada).The most thankless role, without doubt, belongs to Bradley Cooper as Owen Wilson's nemesis, the insufferable fiancé of Claire. That she would have anything to do with him is perhaps the least plausible part of a movie that is almost wholly without credibility. He's worse than Will Farrell because Farrell's character is never anything but preposterous. As the aging lech who concocts the scheme to seduce bridesmaids at weddings and mourners at funerals, he is played wholly for cheap laughs-- the standard modus operandi for his ilk, the over-rated and under-talented SNL alumnus.The movie is, of course, also predictable. Formula films are. A lot of talent went into this, but the writers and filmmakers aim to make every scene outrageous, with McAdams as the quiet heart of this desperate, frantic comedy. That she makes you care about her is no small feat.
Ross622 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.
