Two guys find out the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends ... read more read more...who work for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has given them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing weddings reception, where they load up on free food and booze and try their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling head over heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very hot water. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I put this one off for a while but wish i hadnt. I had a lot of fun watching this one. A good funny movies that made me laugh and smile tons.

    It has some serious flaws and some bits just aren't funny (the rape scene, the gay brother), also Vince is such an ass he doesn't ring true. However, it is a dumb comedy, and if judged as such, was not too bad. It has a few funny parts and I like Isla fisher's crazy character. Al... read moreso Rachel McAdams is good, as always. The guys are a little old for these girls, but that's another flaw.

    First of all the ratings for Wedding Crashers on RT, don't do the movie any justice. A "C" average?? Come on! Top 3 in my favorite movies, and #1 comedy of all time in my opinion. Owen and Vaughn are hilarious together and if that wasn't enough, Will Ferrell comes in towards the ... read moreend for the knockout punch. If you haven't seen it, watch it now!

    Stupidly formulaic rom-com full of two dimensional characters. You've got your sensitive guy, your engaged leading female who's not-so-sure about her arrangement and your jerk rival to-be-husband who's a big "bad guy". Complete stranger comes swooping out of no where and "liberat... read morees" her from a woeful marriage? Please.

    Ugh, just too damn "perfectly" sweet and fake. For what adequate entertainment value it has in the humor department it has even less to offer in emotional depth and character complexities.

    The concept here is brilliant and the cast is good too, Wilson and Vaughn are funny guys, but after the first 30mins it just loses the plot and becomes your average silly toilet humour flick. A shame as the jerk off under the table scene is just perfect haha.

    As hilarious as it is classic, Wedding Crashers follows the code of all Vaughn movies and therefore never fails to delight. Walkin is an added bonus in this film and it has a few more heart felt moments that turn this film from a standard sex and booze fuelled comedy, into a more... read more romantic chick flick piece of cinema. Does exactly what it says on the tin and is at some points laugh out loud funny.

    I've sort of been meaning to give this one a shot for years and finally got a chance to see it recently. Wedding Crashers is definitely not an original comedy by any means, but it's definitely a filthy one and at times can be very funny. I think the main turn-off for me was that ... read moreit starts out as a whacky comedy about two guys who like to crash weddings and how their relationship works but quickly decends into a love story. Now don't get me wrong here. I like romantic comedies when they're done well and with some substance, but this one is so cliche'd and predictable that I quickly found it boring. It really drags in both the second and third acts, and even being unrated doesn't help it very much. I thought that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson were pretty well cast and had some nice chemistry, but the overall package just feels weak. It's good for a late night rent but it's nowhere near worth the hype that surrounds it.

    I felt that Wedding Crashers was a very sloppy comedy. You a good actor (Christopher Walken) and a good actress (Jane Seymour) in this film that after multiple viewing, really doesn't stand out. The main characters are played by Vince Vaughn, whom I hate and who only has one good... read more film under his belt, and Owen Wilson. They could've picked a better set actor here. The film isn't funny really, and I felt like the film tried too hard. Will Ferrell's cameo is pretty funny however. But Wedding Crashes that even though you have Walken in the film, and he is probably the only funny actor here along with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately the film doesn't stand out as a great comedy. The banality of the film is really what makes it forgettable. After the first two viewings, Wedding Crashes humor really becomes old fast. You end up finding the characters annoying, but in my case, luckily that Christopher Walken is one of my favs, He always made me smile. Unlike The Hangover or Tropic Thunder, which are very funny; Wedding Crashers just doesn't hold up and that's why this film doesn't stand out as great comedy. Wedding Crashers has its funny moments, but after a while, the film wasn't funny anymore. This is the type of film, for me anyways that doesn't really stand above other comedies. The film was funny the first two times I saw it, but it just got tiresome after a while. Considering that since then, there have been better comedy films; Wedding Crasher is easily forgettable.

    Funny but overrated. Cliche' to the max and over exaggerates too much.

Targeting adults means smarter material, if you get the right script, and writers Steve Faber and Bob Fisher have a nice ear for the funnier things that make us human. Full Review
