In the outrageous comedy, Wedding Crashers, divorce mediators John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are business partners and life-long friends who share one truly unique springtime hobby…crashing weddings! Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party - Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu - the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven "rules of wedding crashing" to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken) and his wife Kathleen (Jane Seymour) is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington, D. C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on bridesmaids Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) Cleary. With the lavish reception in full swing, Jeremy works his game plan to perfection in seducing Gloria, but John's flirtatious banter with Claire is unexpectedly impeded by her pompous, Ivy League boyfriend Sack (Bradley Cooper). Having uncharacteristically fallen hard and fast for Claire, John convinces a resistant Jeremy to bend the crashing rules and accept an invitation to an extended weekend party at the Cleary family compound. Once at the palatial waterfront estate, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the hysterically dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but also learn a few unexpected lessons about love and relationships. Wedding Crashers is a New Line Cinema presentation of a Tapestry Films production directed by David Dobkin (Shanghai Knights). The original screenplay was written by Steve Faber & Bob Fisher. The producers are Tapestry Films partners Peter Abrams, Robert L. Levy and Andrew Panay. The executive producers are Guy Riedel, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Cale Boyter. The creative team includes director of photography Julio Macat, ASC, production designer Barry Robison, costume designer Denise Wingate, composer Rolfe Kent, and editor Mark Livolsi. In addition to Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the talented cast also includes Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Jane Seymour, Ellen Albertini Dow, Bradley Cooper and Ron Canada. New Line Cinema will release Wedding Crashers nationwide on July 15th, 2005. -- © New Line Cinema [More]

    The one-liners are fast and furious, Vaughn has never been funnier, and the supporting cast is always one-upping each other.

    It's an easy, breezy, lanky Hollywood rom-com with a brain, for most of its running time.

    These Wedding Crashers are not for kids. For grown-ups who like their humor rutting and smart, however, they're unexpected but welcome guests.

    Wilson is sweet and cuddly in his insincerity, and Vaughn is so delightedly sleazy that his joy in his own ruthlessness is infectious

    The most exhilarating entertainment to emerge this year from the failed, forlorn factory town of Hollywood, largely because of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the best high-low comedy team since the hey-hey days of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

    There are some terrifically funny scenes, but nearly everything is predictable, and, at two hours, it slightly overstays its welcome.

    Vaughn is at his best, McAdams is perfectly adorable, relative newcomer Fisher steals scenes from her cast mates with wicked ease; and Walken is, well, Walken.

    The extended reception sequences are superbly done, and Vaughn and Wilson are at their best when they're being false and winning at the same time.

    Under all the raunchiness, Crashers is actually sort of a sweet movie. And at its best, it perfectly channels the winning personalities of Wilson and Vaughn.

    The scene at a crowded dinner table is bound to become the most widely referenced sex gag since Cameron Diaz discovered a new kind of hair gel in There’s Something About Mary.

    Wedding Crashers' real secret is that despite flashes of nudity, crudity and mockery of women's raging hormones at the first sight of a trousseau, at its core it's just a big pushover with the heart of a chick flick.

    John and Jeremy may be damaged, manipulative, emotionally stunted frat boys with mouths like truckers, but they have a sentimental streak a mile wide.
