Wedding Crashers movie Wedding Crashers
Her day their night

// The skinny: John and Jeremy are a pair of incorrigible friends who crash innumerable weddings to get chicks until one of them actually falls for a bridesmaid.

// Review: This is one of those movies where the premise is so brilliant and obvious that you can't believe it hadn't been made before. Every guy knows that girls are most aroused and vulnerable at weddings. It's like they are a storm of happiness and frustration when they are gazing at their fantasy through a looking glass.

/ Enter Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn who routinely crash weddings and prey on these singles women. Whether the ceremony is for Jews, Irish, or even Chinese, they create a ridiculous back story and then insinuate themselves into the wedding party. The movie does a fantastic job at playing on the steroetypes that makes girls go faint of heart and of loose of bras.

/ Vince Vaughn is in classic form. He is channeling his best Double Down Trent as Owen Wilson's wingman. The story is simple: at one wedding Wilson actually falls for a girl (the tasty Rachel McAdams), but she has a boyfriend. So he tries to win her over and Vaughn tags along. Hilarity ensues.

/ If you stepped out halfway to use the bathroom, you would swear that you walked into an entirely different movie. As it was driving straight towards classic guy film, it turns on a dime and devolves into a chick flick. PSEUDO-SPOILER ALERT: The final scene has Wilson showing up at a wedding for his last hail mary attempt to get the girl. Wow, that's as cliched as red exploding barrels in a video game.

// Wrap up: I feel so mixed about this one. The first half was awesome, but the second half made me want to smash a beer bottle over my head. In the end, take a girl and all the romance will have her forgiving you for laughing at all of the earlier chauvanist jokes.
