Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, the story starts off with a bang. It is funny clever and most importantly original. The characters are easy to connect with and the dialogue is great. The jokes are solid and the romantic plot line is well thought out.The acting is great. Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Jane Seymor, Bradley Cooper, and Will Ferrel all perform great.The pacing starts off very fast but slows down towards the middle and the end. The runtime is a little overlong as well.This film is one of the best comedies of the 21st century. It belong in the ranks of The 40 Year Old Virgin, 21 Jump Street, and Superbad.Pros: Funny jokes, great characters, original story, good romantic plot line, and great actingCons: Slow pacing in the middle and the end and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 8.0
Kings_Requiem When push comes to shove it's probably my favorite movie of all- time. I've seen it around 50ish times and it never loses its luster for me. It's always hilarious, but I also think it's kind of underrated in terms of its dramatic moments...which I think Dobkin and the cast absolutely nail. This movie also holds a special place in my heart because it's the movie that my wife (then ex-girlfriend) watched on the night we decided to get back together after almost a year apart. And it has become a tradition for the two of us to watch it every year on that exact day because it's such a special memory that we like to re- live. I've also seen it a number of times with an old friend of mine and we would always recite the lines along with the movie and even talked all the time about crashing a few weddings of our own together. There was even a time where we got into a situation in real life where we were able to recreate a scene from the movie... It was totally unplanned, but the situation presented itself perfectly so we just ran with it. That was a lot of fun. Sadly though that friend and I don't really keep in touch anymore, but it's still great to look back on those times and remember how much fun we had and how the power of one movie could bring two people such happiness...if only for a little while. I'll love this movie forever because of that and now I can't wait for my next re-watch. And on that note I'll leave everyone with this: Rule #1: Never leave a fellow Crasher behind.
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.
Python Hyena 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
