Wedding Crashers

{[['']]}

I like this movie.  It keeps me laughing all the way through the movie.  It is a display of how over-aged hound dogs feed their ego by bedding women who have been disarmed by booze and atmosphere. 
It was rakishly funny how John (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) crash funerals and weddings; taking advantage of grieving woman and women wishing they were a bride.  The only thing that could have topped a funeral would be the successful crash of a baby shower.

This cast had incredible chemistry.  If they had not had this high level of chemistry, this movie could have gone down in flames.

Wedding Crashers - Rotten Tomatoes
Sometimes ten per cent of your brain is just enough.

Both shallow and mastered womanizing goes sour when "the power of woman" begins breaking through to the heart of a man.  Taking every advantage of the love spell weddings have on women, and a the desire for comfort that a funeral has on us all, finally catches up with these "little boys" in grown men's bodies.

Dudes Toasting the Newlyweds (and Their Bodacious Guests) - New York Times
What's old is new again, kind of, in the amiably raunchy sex comedy "Wedding Crashers." A wink-wink, nudge-nudge Trojan horse of a story, the film pivots on two cut-rate Lotharios persuasively inhabited by Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, who love the ladies, but really and truly, cross their cheating hearts, just want a nice girl to call wife.

If you think too hard you could get offended by the bedding of multiple women, sex jokes, and grandma's bigotry, but Vince Vaughn is so stupid (funny) that you forgive these to rakes for being dick heads, literally.  You will love how the movie quickly turns into a flick for chicks, causing us to forgive the movie for it's careless display of male "whoredom". Yet, it manages to keep humor going throughout.

John falls for Claire (Rachel McAdams) very quickly (who is very skeptical about love), while Jeremy, who obviously needs to be entertained by a woman, tries to run from Crazy Girl (Isla Fisher) who seems to have enchanted him with her high energy and multiple personalities.

This is literally a feast of characters to love or hate; Grandma, Over-sexed Mom (Jane Seymour) and Crazy Girl. I know this movie is really about John and Claire falling in love, amidst the craziness around them, but it is the craziness around to people falling in love that makes this movie enjoyable. Hands-down, my favorite characters are the supporting characters:

Grandma (Ellen Albertini Dow): The sweet (looking) little old lady who says what ever she wants and never apologizes for it.

Grandma's boy friend: Father O'Neil (Henry Gibson); the look on his face when he is listening to Jeremy's Confession, alone was hilarious.

Jeremy and Crazy Girl: Who's relationship was cleverly put in the back ground to maintain the flow of humor, as the movie took a serious turn with John and Claire.

There are a lot of ways to make touch football funny, and "Wedding Crashers" misses all of them. Why keep the Walken character so disengaged from the action, when it would be funnier for him to get tough than for the hateful Sack, who spreads a cloud of unease in every scene he occupies? I don't blame Cooper for this, by the way; he shows he's very effective. It's just that he should find a movie where he can pound on Vin Diesel.

Respectfully, Roger Eberts review is way too educated. Everyone's role in a comedy may not be intended to be funny. Some roles are to navigate the emotions about the others characters.  If it wasn't for Sack (Bradley Cooper) I would have never supported Claire and John (the womanizer) to be together.  Sack made you forgive and get on John and Jeremy's side.

Sometimes you only want to laugh.  This is a good movie if a laugh is all you want.

You know all those horror stories about a cigar-chomping producer who screens a movie and says they need to lose 15 minutes and shoot a new ending? "Wedding Crashers" needed a producer like that.

I disagree.  Thanks David Dobkin (Director), Steve Faber and Bob Fisher (Writers)for a good laugh.  I needed a laugh this is one of the movies I watch. It is funny every time.
