Why do Muppet's come on the boards to complain

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2008)

If you've got something to say constructive or otherwise, say your comment, make your peace and get out! Like many people I think this is a funny film and well worth a view, and I'll get to why in a minute.
Firstly, let's take the basics. This film is kind of like a remake of four weddings and a funeral, it's American name might be several weddings and a funeral or two weddings and a funeral, depending on your point of view. The story centres around 2 professional men in their early thirties who crash weddings in order to sleep with women who want to hook up with a potential partner at a friend or relatives wedding, and while Vince Vaughn's character is living for the chase, Owen Wilson is starting to have doubts over the value of his life and his meaningless existence, and while both characters are shallow there is a great deal of joy in watching their ceaseless adolescent behaviour and the ridiculous rulebook they operate by. All of this changes of course when they decide to end their tenure as wedding crashers by crashing the wedding of the century, when Wilson meets the woman from heaven and Vaughn meets the clingy nutter from hell.
The dialogue is great, yeah, not Woody Allen great but funny, and the characters all likable, with the exception of the villain of the piece who is played to perfection by Bradley Cooper as the scummy version of both Vaughn and Wilson.
Add to this a couple of excellent cameo's, a vile old woman and a repressed artist and you have a bizarre mix that, yes, is a tad predictable, but like a journey to one of your favourite places, is one that you do enjoy nonetheless.
Nuff said.
