Decent adult fun

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2005)

This new offering in adult comedy is a decent show, provided you enjoy Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Some people love the Holiday season, some may love the crisp air of Fall, John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) love wedding season. They do their research into upcoming weddings, come up with their game plan and backstory for each, and show up.
With so many strangers showing up to a wedding, these two zany gentleman can show up, and no ones the wiser. After a great (lengthy) montage into crashing, we move into the real story, the crash of all crashes. Crashing the wedding of the daughter of Secretary Cleary (Christopher Walken), someone John Beckwith has admired for quite a long time.
They arrive at the wedding, two venture capitalists, the son of an Aunt, and they begin working their charm. Their goal, to have a great time, party, and sleep with women. Beckwith upon sight of one of the bridesmaids Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams), falls for her beauty instantly. Which I guarantee so will you the audience.
Invited for a weekend at the Cleary household, hilarity ensues, especially between Jeremy and his clingy bridesmaid, Gloria (Isla Fisher). In the second half of the movie, the story shifts, Vaughn becoming more the supporting role, and Wilson's love story taking center stage.
Performances here are decent for this type of comedy. There is great chemistry between these two actors, Vaughn playing the sleazier of two roles, and Wilson the straight (yet not completely straight) man falling head over heels in love. There are people who aren't huge fans of these two actors, but if you are, look for a fun time.
