The best comedy of the summer!

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2005)

The premise behind WEDDING CRASHERS is one that surprisingly has never been made into a movie before. Two guys (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) crash weddings to pick up chicks. It's such a simple and fun premise, which could have quickly got old fast had it been in the hands of the wrong director or screenwriters. Luckily, director David Dobkin and screenwriters Steve Faber and Bob Fisher proved to be just the right filmmakers for the job. That's not to say that WEDDING CRASHERS is perfect. It's far from it. What starts off as a throwback to such raunchy classic R-rated comedies such as ANIMAL HOUSE and PORKY'S soon becomes entangled in becoming a romance where towards the end it becomes clichéd predictable, and overly long. Still, I'm giving it a high ranking due to the chemistry of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. The duo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in WEDDING CRASHERS is so inspired and brilliant it's amazing that no one thought of pairing them up before. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson go together like peanut butter and jelly. I would love to see them do another movie together. Hopefully WEDDING CRASHERS will be a big hit at the box office and there will be a re-teaming of the great duo. 7/10.
