When push comes to shove it's probably my favorite movie of all- time. I've seen it around 50ish times and it never loses its luster for me. It's always hilarious, but I also think it's kind of underrated in terms of its dramatic moments...which I think Dobkin and the cast absolutely nail. This movie also holds a special place in my heart because it's the movie that my wife (then ex-girlfriend) watched on the night we decided to get back together after almost a year apart. And it has become a tradition for the two of us to watch it every year on that exact day because it's such a special memory that we like to re- live. I've also seen it a number of times with an old friend of mine and we would always recite the lines along with the movie and even talked all the time about crashing a few weddings of our own together. There was even a time where we got into a situation in real life where we were able to recreate a scene from the movie... It was totally unplanned, but the situation presented itself perfectly so we just ran with it. That was a lot of fun. Sadly though that friend and I don't really keep in touch anymore, but it's still great to look back on those times and remember how much fun we had and how the power of one movie could bring two people such happiness...if only for a little while. I'll love this movie forever because of that and now I can't wait for my next re-watch. And on that note I'll leave everyone with this: Rule #1: Never leave a fellow Crasher behind.

Wedding Crashers (2005): Dir: David Dobkin / Cast: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken: Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson play the duo who wreck havoc on innocence by deceiving women into sleeping with them at weddings. Central plot regards the wedding of a politician's daughter but Wilson falls for her. Detailed screenplay directed by David Dobkin who previously made the mediocre Shanghai Knights. Vaughn and Wilson have hilarious chemistry as they become emotionally stranded at this wedding. Wilson grows a conscious and becomes the target of the violent groom. Vaughn steals scenes with one-liners and a wild erotica that strikes him in a surprising manner. Rachel McAdams plays the politician's daughter engaged to an over-jealous football hooligan. She is intelligent and striking despite the formula in which the screenplay places her. Isla Fisher steals scenes as the hyper daughter in pursuit of Vaughn. She is kinky to the point where Vaughn is paranoid to remain there any longer. This is where the film takes interesting turns in unusual situations thus avoiding a full formula delivery. Christopher Walken provides great comic monotone as the father of the bride and he nearly catches Vaughn in late night kinky action. Great comedy about relationships based on truth and honor without the interruptions of deceit and dishonor. Score: 10 / 10

Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken star in this 2005 comedy. John (Wilson) and Jeremy (Vaughn) are pals who work together as divorce mediators. In their spare time, they like to crash weddings to meet women. Soon, things change for them when they spend a wild weekend at Secretary of Treasury, William Cleary's (Walken) home after attending his daughter's wedding. John and Jeremy not only meet his odd family, but find romance with his other daughters, Claire (McAdams) and Gloria (Fisher). Cooper (American Sniper) plays Sack, Claire's no good fiancée, Seymour (Somewhere in Time) plays Cleary's wife, Kathleen and Will Ferrell makes an appearance as goofy wedding/funeral crasher, Chaz. This is a good comedy with a great cast and Wilson & Vaughn are great together. I recommend this.

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are wedding crashers. They crash weddings to score with women. They crash and keep crashing. It's down to a science with rules and everything - what to do and and what not to do. They attend the wedding of Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour's daughter. What they don't count on is Owen getting caught by the love bug with another daughter, played by Rachel McAdams or Vince meeting another daughter who's a "needy clinger/psycho," played by Isla Fisher. And, Vince has bad luck in getting hurt throughout the film, courtesy of Bradley Cooper, who is engaged to Rachel! A foul-mouthed grandma, a gay son, and a tough-as-nails butler are all part of this kooky family, and Jane has the hots for Owen. The film is more like a roller-coaster ride with highs and lows than big laughs, though. The second half sags with more talking than outrageousness. This film really belongs to Vince Vaughn, as he's really good and Will Ferrell has a bit near the end to pick up the pace. All in all, it's raunchy adult fun that is good, but not as fulfilling as "The Forty-Year-Old Virgin."
