2) Amazon.com
With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff ShannonOn the DVD The "Uncorked" edition of Wedding Crashers adds about 8 minutes of footage to the theatrical release. Of chief interest are extended beach and bathroom scenes between Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher, and Vaughn's extended confession to Father O'Neil (Henry Gibson), but there are also new scenes featuring Keir O'Donnell as the eccentric Todd and Ellen Albertini Dow as the potty-mouthed grandmother. This edition is billed as unrated because it wasn't resubmitted to the MPAA, but the sexier bathroom scene and coarser confession aren't particularly raunchier than the original film, and there's no additional nudity. You can watch the Uncorked edition once to see the new footage, but for subsequent viewings you'll probably choose to stick with the theatrical release, which is also included on the DVD. Bonus features consist of two very good commentary tracks, one by director David Dobkin and another by Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Dobkin's is more technically informative, and he specifically discusses why the added scenes were originally cut. Vaughn and Wilson are a little more subdued than might be expected, but they share some laughs, recall some material that was left out, and wander into irrelevant territory such as football and Wilson's dog. Other features include four deleted scenes with optional commentary by Dobkin, and two featurettes covering the making of the film (including the logistics of staging five different weddings, and interviews with the "magic and balloon consultant") and Vaughn and Wilson's meandering discussion of "the rules" of wedding crashing. For a more organized recap, there's a 24-screen text-only list of all the rules. The opening menu is clever, but slow to load after you've watched it the first time. --David HoriuchiVince Vaughn's Movies Why We Love Rachel McAdams Owen Wilson's Movies The Soundtrack The Return of Crass ComedyThe 40-Year-Old Virgin

1) I'd crash this party if I were you...   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
There was a lot of buzz surrounding this film back when it was released, and I must admit that while upon repeated viewings it doesn't hold up as strong as it once did it is still extremely funny. Yes, `Wedding Crashers' may be one cliché after another, but those clichés are strung together so effortlessly that you can't help but fall for each and every gag. The film follows two friends, John and Jeremy, who make a habit of crashing weddings to score with single chicks. When they crash the wedding of Secretary William Cleary's daughter, Christina, they wind up on an adventure they didn't bank on. At the wedding they each set their sights on one of Secretary Cleary's other daughters; Jeremy targeting the nymphomaniac Gloria and John seeking out the beautiful, yet spoken for, Claire. When they wind up invited to the Cleary's estate for the weekend (who in their right mind would invite two men they've never met to their home for the weekend) hilarity ensues. While John is busy trying to woo Claire away from her controlling boyfriend Zachary Jeremy is trying to ward off the advances of Gloria.I've never been a huge fan of Owen Wilson, and I still hold firm to the belief that he is only really `good' when paired with Ben Stiller (together they are flawless). Here he winds up being the more straight laced actor and, while he has a few funny lines, really leaves the comedy aspect of the film up to scene partner Vince Vaughn. `Wedding Crashers' marked Vaughn's rebirth so-to-speak, revitalizing his career thanks to one hilarious performance here (although I saw this coming since his glorious `Old School' turn). I've always been a huge fan of Vaughn and loved some of his earlier work (I just adore his performances in films like `Return to Paradise' and `A Cool Dry Place') but it seemed like Hollywood had forgotten about him; and then there was `Wedding Crashers' and his career has never been the same. I'm happy for him; he deserved it.Isla Fisher is really the standout here. She has, undeniably, the scene-stealer role of the film and she does just that; steals scenes. As Gloria she is sensual, abrasive, obnoxious, psychotic and most of all hilarious. Rachel McAdams does a fine job as Claire in a role that is far less attention grabbing. She is such a beautiful and talented actress. I can't wait to see her career skyrocket. Jane Seymour has a surprising turn here as the Secretary's unhappy wife and Ellen Alberti Dow is her usual funny self as the Cleary Grandmother. Christopher Walken is quite simply Christopher Walken (shouldn't he be in like every movie). Keir O'Donnell is a bit over the top as the strange Cleary son, Todd, and Bradley Cooper is kind of annoying as Zachary. There is a brilliant cameo by Will Ferrell towards the end that makes me wish he had a larger role in the film.`Wedding Crashers' is not a god-send but it is well worth the watch through. There are moments when the laughs will come so hard there will be tears and then times when the laughs are more of an embarrassed laugh. It's truly a mixed bag, but there is more good then bad here, that's for sure.

2) loved it   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
this movie is one of the few movies that men and women will enjoy. i love this and this movie is a must own

3) Hard to go wrong with Vaughn   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Hard to go wrong with a movie starring Vince Vaughn and Christopher Walken. This is a humorous movie with the simple premise contained in the title - two friends (Vaughn and Owen Wilson) base their social life around wedding season. Of course one has to expect some real romance to come out of it too - otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. Vaughn shows his manic greatness as expected, and carries the movie. Despite that, the best pieces are in the crashing scenes in the beginning. Not enough material in that for a two hour movie, and the movie slows down considerably as it extends. Still a good movie, but not a great one.

4) A Very Good Comedy   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is the best comedy I've seen in a long time. Most of the bad reviews for this movie are from people that were offended by the language and sexual content, people that are into over the top silly humor (like Airplane, Little Nicky and Zoolander) or people that like the so called "artistic comedies" like Woody Allen movies. And there are some people that were upset (they thought it was "shallow") because this movie is making fun of people that take weddings serious. This movie is very funny and if you're a normal person, with a sense of humor you will like it.

5) "Rule Number One: Never Leave a Fellow Crasher Behind"   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It has been several years since a movie made me laugh as much as this one did. I watched it using headphones, sitting next to my wife, and she stopped what she was doing several times and looked at me like I had gone crazy. The truth is that if you enjoy humor that is sometimes politically incorrect, and even a little rude, you will have a blast with this film.The premise is pretty simple, John and Jeremy are two friends that crash weddings and not only get free food and drinks, but also hook up with a lot of girls in the process. They are living the good life and stay on this path of hit and run fun for a while. But when at the wedding of the daughter of Secretary William Cleary they get together with the two sisters of the bride, things get a little more complicated. They end up going on a weekend trip to an island with the family and close friends of the just married couple, and the madness goes on a rampage.The cast does an outstanding job. I was surprised by how good Vince Vaughn was on The Break-Up, but I think he is even better on this movie, with a great delivery of some extremely funny lines. I have been disappointed in the past by Owen Wilson, but here he made me laugh out loud, and he certainly showed us that he can play the "good" guy effectively. Then there is Isla Fisher, who is great in her role of Gloria, the nymph that "captures" Jeremy in her net and makes Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction look sane. The rest of the cast does not lag far behind, including a conflicted brother of the bride, a mother in need of attention, and a priest that gets more than he bargained for, but I have to make a special mention for Will Ferrell. Fans of this actor know what I am talking about. In the couple of scenes in which he partakes from the action, he makes us laugh so much that it is unbelievable.I think that by now it is pretty clear. Those that like "proper" humor should not even consider watching this. However, if you are looking for one of the funniest movies in the last several years and do not care much about political correctness, this is a film you cannot miss.
