The Wedding Crashers : Movie Review


The Wedding Crashers (2005)Good comedies get by on amusing concepts, while great comedies sustain the laughter long after they’ve delivered their one-line pitch. Wedding Crashers belongs in the former category. It rides its amusing premise like gangbusters for one solid act, but overextends itself the minute it leaves the comfy confines of its smart setup.

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, playing themselves, are John and Jeremy lifelong friends who spend the wedding season crashing strangers’ receptions for the free booze and vulnerable women. They have an angle for every party and work the room like politicians at a fund-raising breakfast. Watching them attack someone else’s special day with reckless abandon provides the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding, my own not included.
