Hilarious!

Rating: 8/10 (15 July 2005)

Wedding Crashers is better than the trailer shows it out to be, make you laugh quite a few times until the ending, but it stays less than superb.
2 career-successful bachelors have a habit of crashing in at weddings with fake identities to exploit the romantic mood of the best ladies and get lucky all season long. This recurs until one of them .... you know, falls into a marsh called love. The other gets stuck by a psychotic possessive nymph and both of them see their lives taking turn altogether while attending the US Treasury Secretary's daughter's wedding.
75% of the movie holds the humor well with occasional wisecracks and screw-ups. 25% was the sentimental part, which, oh well, had to be there if a guy has to convince his girlfriend to come watch the movie with him and not get beaten up badly later on.
Vince Vaughn has finally hit it well with his comic talent. I did mention in a previous comment for Mr & Mrs. Smith than Vaughn should consider serious movies for better recognition, and still stand by that, but this movie will definitely boost up his value among casting directors at Hollywood. Vaughn can still play a sarcastic-fast talking lead in a serious movie. He definitely is no Harrison Ford but he can build a class of his own.
Owen Wilson, on the other hand, did an OK job. It was his character who fell in love in the movie and started changing the flow of the story around, but in my opinion could not match up with Vaughn's comic acting. I'll praise Wilson because he did "try." However, seeing Rachel McAdams in this movie has motivated me to watch another movie which I was actually least inclined to check out - the Notebook. The first time I saw McAdams on the big screen, like many may have, was a spoiled dirty blonde teenager in the Rob Schneider comedy "The Hot Chick." Thereafter she has starred in the Notebook and Mean Girls, won critical acclaim for her performance in the former and has won a role in the upcoming thriller "Red Eye." Not only is she pretty as a brunette, but also shows natural acting talents and ability to portray simplicity well.
Supporting cast by Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell (yes, he had to be there) was a well done job, and same's with the lesser known, yet very attractive ladies who played un-named bridesmaids throughout the movie.
Do watch the movie if you like comedy. Leave your brains and logical thinking aside for the 2 hours you will dedicate to this movie (and your companion if applicable). There are loose ends towards the end, and thats when you start waiting for the movie to finish. But until the loose-ends, you will enjoy the movie and laugh out loud!
