Wedding Crashers: Wedding Bliss
It’s the perfect set up for two men on the prowl: A wedding. Weddings are where women get all teary eyed and romantic. A player’s guide to emotional and easy women. That is the foolproof scheme for two divorce mediators, John and Jeremy (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) determined to pick up desperate women by crashing weddings.
Director David Dobkin picked the two perfect actors for the roles of the two “Wedding Crashers,” a pair of well-known comedy actors, Vaughn (Old School) and Wilson (Zoolander). Their raunchy lines and ridiculous physical humor will make this movie a comedy cult hit.
John and Jeremy are two guys living in Washington D.C., who have devised a scram to meet women. At weddings women are very emotional and therefore very easy targets for a hook up. The humourous montage depicts the two and their hilarious wedding antics.
The plot does take a slight downhill slide though, because inevitably one of the guys falls in love. At the Wedding of the daughter of Treasury Secretary, William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the guys hit on two bridesmaids, Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher).
John falls head over heals for Claire. A complicated situation, because Claire has a boyfriend, Sack (Bradley Cooper). Meanwhile, Jeremy has a quick beach hookup with Gloria. Then Gloria does the predictable, she wants a relationship and assumes Jeremy does too. She gets the two an invite to weekend shore retreat with the family.
Jeremy has the urge to flee as fast as possible from the clinging Gloria, but John wants to stay and change Claire’s heart. In such close-nit setting their cover stories are beginning to show their holes.
The storyline slows down, but quickly picks up when the audience is introduce to this eccentric family. It turns out that Sack is actually a bigger player than John. Mom, Kathleen Cleary (Jane Seymour), is a high class drunk with a fetish for younger men. Brother, Todd Cleary (Keir O’Donnell) is the bad, gay artist who crushes on Jeremy. Mix all this personality with Walken playing the kooky patriarch and it is a recipe for comedy success.
“Wedding Crashers” is another film that will bring out the twenty-something and younger crowds. In society weddings and commitment are often fickle words, but “Wedding Crasher,” won’t crash at the box office.
