Wedding Crashers Review


Wedding Crashers

The basic plotline to this movie is that two guys go around, sneak into weddings, and pick up chicks. They do it every year around wedding season, however this year is different. Owen Wilson’s character starts to grow tired of banging countless chicks (I wouldn’t). He reminds Vince Vaughn’s character that they’re not getting any younger. Of course, Vaughn doesn’t think so. Things start to change for the two of them when they crash the ultimate wedding, Secretary Cleary’s daughter’s wedding (one of his daughters, he has three.) The wedding crashers encounter something they’ve never experienced before, love.

This movie is R-rated, and proudly states that it’s R, which I like. There is nudity in this movie. There are many flashes of bare breasts in a montage where we see the two Crashers bedding many women. Well, besides the breasts, we also see the two of them actually have fun crashing the weddings; they really enjoy being there. This part of the movie works well. I enjoyed watching them bluff their way to women’s hearts to get into their underwear. All of this happens in the first half of the movie, and the movie moves along at break-neck speed. Vaughn plays the same character he plays in all the Frat Pack movies, the dirty fast talking guy they enjoys taking advantage of women. Owen plays the loveable guy that starts to realize there’s more to life than banging strangers (there is?).

The movie even works when the Crashers actually make it the house of Secretary Cleary (Christopher Walken). The Crashers have to keep up their act while there. The best part is when Vaughn bangs one of the Cleary daughters and the daughter falls in love with him. She becomes a total slut in mere minutes.

Where the movie starts to fall apart is toward the end. The movie shifts gears from being a raunchy guy comedy to a chick-flick! That was when I realized that I’d been fooled once again, damn those marketing people. Despite having two movies in one, it’s a fairly good movie, and you’ll actually smile at how good they really are at picking up women. Trust me, I took some notes from them. Don’t be surprised if you see me at some stranger’s wedding.
