Wedding Crashers Review (actually focuses on the movie)

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2005)

This movie was in a word, eccentric. It started off very fast paced with scenes jumping from one to another. Rounding out to one of the funniest scenes of the entire movie. Here we are introduced to Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) and John (Owen Wilson). These two men have great chemistry together on screen not seen in a long time. These two together seem to bring out the best in each other and really push themselves to their limits. Which with that it gives the audience exactly what it wanted, a movie that may be the funniest movie in the past five years. Although most people will tell you this movie was near flawless, I did feel as though there was one major flaw in it. That flaw would be Rachel McAdams character. She did a fine job with playing the character, but the character in itself seemed flawed to be. It seemed as though throughout the entire movie her character was forcing herself to do everything. Whether it was talking to Owen's character or her boyfriend in the movie, it all seemed forced. Once again the scene-stealer was Vince Vaughn. Every scene that he was in was a smash. Every line that came from his mouth was hilarious and no one could have pulled off the character any better. He has every thing that made this movie work the way it did. And at the same time Owen Wilson was not his normal sarcastic, funny character in this movie has he had portrayed many times before. In fact he actually showed that he could actually act, even though it was not on a large scale of being serious it was much more than we normally see from him. And rounding out the main cast was newcomer to movies Isla Fisher. She is the exact counterpart to Vince Vaughn, with the way she gave her lines and the way she stole every scene that she was in. I would not be surprised if we were to see her many more roles. She was outstanding as the crazy, psychotic lover. The movie plot itself was a little flawed too. There were some scenes that I felt had no necessity to the story and were only thrown in to extend the movie's length. As I said before the movie started out very fast and funny. Towards the middle of the movie everything slowed down a lot and it started to focus more on the love interest between Owen Wilson's character and Rachel McAdams character. This part seemed as though they made this love story after the script had been written. I would have actually preferred not to see a love story and just let the movie be what it started out as, raunchy, wild, sex-filled humor. With the closing of the movie they even throw in a bit of a moral to go along with the love story. In the end the movie turned out to be better than what I had expected it to be. I found myself laughing at parts that I never imagined I would be laughing at. All in all it is a must see for those comedy fans that just want a good laugh.
Also there is a surprise actor that makes an appearance towards the end of the movie. I myself am not a fan of this surprise actor and did not like his work in this movie because I felt that he was thrown into the mix just for the fact that at this time and for the past year or so he has been a comedy mainstay. For everyone else beside me you will absolutely love the surprise actor and he will make you laugh harder than you ever have watching him before.
