Wedding Crashers

Divorce mediators John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey are business partners and lifelong friends who share one truly unique springtime hobby--crashing weddings! Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party--Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu--the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven "rules of wedding crashing" to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary and his wife, Kathleen, is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington D.C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on two bridesmaids, Claire and Gloria Cleary. With the lavish reception in full swing, Jeremy works his game plan to perfection in seducing Gloria, but John's flirtation banter with Claire is unexpectedly impeded by her pompous, Ivy League boyfriend Sack. Having uncharacteristically fallen hard and fast for Claire, John convinces a resistant Jeremy to bend the crashing rules and accept an invitation to an extended weekend party at the Cleary family compound. Once at the palatial waterfront estate, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but also learn a few unexpected lessons about love and relationships.

This movie showcases Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson playing off of each other at their best. The laughs come throughout, yet there is a good romantic undertone which makes this movie a great date movie. I really have no complaints about this movie, yet I seem to compare all movies to Old School anymore and while this movie is excellent, it doesn't quite reach that standard. Isla Fisher really shines as the crazy sister Gloria Cleary. Her perfomance combined with Vaughn and Wilson really make this movie hilarious.

The R-Rating for this movie is well-deserved. In the vein of Old School, Road Trip and 40 year old virgin, much of the humor is sexually-based and the language reflects that. Sexual situations are throughout which is to be expected.

Between the 40 year old virgin and Wedding Crashers there is alot offered for comedy fans. This movie is one both the guys and girl in the can enjoy as Rachel McAdam's character will really appeal to the romantics in the crowd while the rest of the cast will keep you in stitches throughout.
