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 Shannon
On 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 Horiuchi
great! do you like the original wedding crashers? of course you do. this is just like that only more laughs. stop reading this and buy it!
I can do without Owen Wilson(blah!)This film is funny anyway. Vince Vaughn is the MAN! this movie is really funny, hillarious cameo by Will Ferrell.
Tacky, Crass and Disappointing Three years plus after this movie came out, finally borrowed it from the local library. I remember the previews as being pretty funny and wanting to see the whole movie. What a waste of time! Two unethical sleazeballs crash weddings for free food and free sex...what's romantic about that?? They get attached to one of the world's most dysfunctional families and everyone except one daughter (played by Rached Mcadams who is lovely) acts like a total butt head. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I like Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson (not necessarily together) both of whom have been in much better/funnier movies. This is NOT a movie you will remember or want to view twice.
Garbage Very vulgar and degrading. It is a shame that there is a market for this junk. This will appeal to those who are flippant about sexual ethics. Catholics should find this offensive because it makes a mockery out of a Sacrament. Vince Vaughn plays a very contemptible fellow. There are much better ways to use your time and money.
Great Comedy Has a nice romantic story line, but the comedy in this movie makes it far from a chick flick!
