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 --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition.

the two leads work so well together that it makes the film extra enjoyable. The touch football scene always cracks me up.

I didn't watch this one before
Because of all the hype
Too many buddy comedies
Were coming through the pipe
This one caught me by surprise
It really was first rate
Two dudes who're crashing weddings
So they'll always have a date
Fast-talking party animals
With very rigid rules
Break it off before sunrise
Commitment's just for fools
Until one day one falls in love
The other falls in lust
If you want to see Vince Vaughn get hurt
Then this one is a must
Sometimes sappy, sometimes sweet
and often lewd and loud
but it doesn't stoop to flatulence
so it stands out from the crowd

This movie was really good. The type of comedy Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson bring to the screen is fantastic. I thought that the ending was a bit much because of how quick she was to forgive him but everything was clever and outragiously halarious. The only problem I have with this movie is that they starred Will Ferrell in it. Even though its a small part, I HATE Will Ferrell. If he would have gotten punched that would have made it better.

ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIES EVER!!!!!!!
This movie is simply a great comedy, bar none. I laughed my head off and Will Ferrell's cameo was really great.
For future reviews, what were you're guys' favorite lines?
