Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review The surprise comedy smash of 2005, IWedding Crashers/I has a resolutely simple set up. You take Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, cast them as a pair of thirtysomethings who spend their weekends gatecrashing weddings, and put them in search of female company while they're there. The clue really is in the title. P Yet there are several elements that make the film a little bit special. First and foremost, there's the cast. Vaughn and Wilson are clearly having a whale of a time here, and it's on screen for all to see. Even in the moments where the script doesn't quite measure up, the duo have the energy and presence to keep the film ticking over. It's great too to see them backed up well by the likes of Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken, both of whom are on fine form here. P The film is also not shy of significant belly laughs, with plenty of comedic moments of note to enjoy. Granted, you'd be hard-pushed to call it high brow comedy, but that's missing the point. IWedding Crashers/I is an accessible, highly entertaining way to spend a couple of hours, and has no pretensions otherwise. And that's its strength. In short, good, funny, energetic entertainment, and it's got healthy rewatch potential too.--ISimon Brew/I

Coles (Beyond the Thunderdome) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful Wedding Crashers is another link in the chain of movies that is made up of a few of the members of the sweetly named `Frat Pack' which for those who don't know, consists of roughly Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Steve Carell, Luke Wilson and in this case Vince Vaughn Owen Wilson...(Plus one of the aforementioned, but I wont ruin the surprise) br /These guys have had a good run of flicks to date, they seem to find something a little different to base a series of jokes around, a sport (Semi-Pro-basketball, Blades of Glory-ice skating, Dodgeball-err dodgeball) or a subject matter to reel gags out on (Zoolander-modelling, Starsky Hutch-Cops) or in this case crashing weddings. br /They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, but fear not, this flick is not it. br / br /With possibly the best teaming of the Frat packers, the relaxed, lovable charm of Wilson and the verbal diarrhoea of Vinny bounce one liners and comic metaphors off each other like a pinball table with multi-ball bonus on full tilt (See what I did there?). It really is jam full with quotable spiel you'll be scrabbling for a piece of paper to jot down ready to unleash on the guys up the pub. br / br /So the basic story is this. The two leads play a couple of divorce mediators who during the week help couples realise where they went wrong and settle their problems, then by weekend, crash weddings under the cover of long lost relatives to hook up with girls, with much success. After a full season, and a cracking montage, the encore is to crash a huge wedding, the daughter of the Secretary of Treasury, one last blast to put the icing on the cake. br /The Secretary in question is Christopher Walken, who, I'm sorry, can deliver a line better than anyone...I mean if a part in any movie was to be cast solely dependant on an actor reading a single line, then my money would be on Walken. Other than that, Sam Jackson, Pacino and maybe Nicholson. That's it. br /Anyhow, fast forward to our guys both falling for a couple of hotties (Rachel McAdams Home and Aways' Isla Fisher) who are sisters and the daughters of the Secretary and them scoring an invite to be taken along to the family's private estate where the fun really begins - I tell ya, there are so many hysterical characters and scenes in the mid part of this film, it's a wonder the big cheese movie execs didn't try to spread it out over this and a sequel! That's what you get in this 90 minutes...two films worth of content for the price and timespan of one - how can you go wrong? br / br /So you got a gay brother, a crazy senile old Nan, a hyperactive/hypercompetitive fiancé, a flirtative Mother and then a crazy as a coconut author of the wedding crasher rulebook, Chaz, to digest in here, trust me, if you need a little pick me up on a dreary night, whack this DVD in - problem solved. br / br /So what else to say about a rom-com with a stellar cast? Well I suppose I'll just throw a quote in there - apparently this is what you do when somebody has said something perfectly before, don't change it, quote it. So...when asked about whether Jane Seymour's baps were "made for speed or made for comfort?" aghast, Wilson can only listen to the question: "So did you play the motor boat on them? You motor boating son of a bee, you old sailor you"...hilarious! br /...it'll make more sense when you get this. Because you're gunna get it right? For a fiver, you'd be a fool not to! br / Side-splittingly funny June 24, 2006 O. Doyle (Ireland) 10 out of 16 found this review helpful John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are business partners and lifelong friends who share a hobby.....they like to crash weddings. Regardless of the ethnicity of the wedding - Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu - they always manage to charm their way into the wedding and inevitably become the hit of every reception. Their goal at each wedding is simple....to meet and pick-up women. When Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary is getting married he's all for going. John is getting tired or gatecrashing weddings but agrees to do `one last big job'. After infiltrating the lavish wedding, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on two bridesmaids - Claire and Gloria Cleary. John falls for Claire and convinces Jeremy to bend the wedding-crashing rules and accept an invitation to a weekend party at the Cleary family home. This is when the fun really starts! br / br /Wedding Crashers is a wonderful comedy whose greatest strength lies in the two lead characters - they're funny, lively and the wise-cracking is some of the best comedy you're likely to see. Their characters are funny enough to cover up the fact that they are exploitative and sexual predators and funny enough to mean that the scenes where they are doing their thing are generally enjoyable. Of course it helps that Wilson and Vaughn have great chemistry together. But Wedding Crashers isn't just about Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. Isla Fisher deserves a mention for her performance as Gloria Cleary. She plays the part to perfection and her scenes with Vince Vaughn will have you in stitches. br / br /All in all this was a really sweet romantic comedy and well worth seeing. It got great reviews from the critics and deserved every one of them. br / Superb fun July 18, 2006 Jonathon Ross (Newcastle Upon tyne, Tyne wear United Kingdom) 6 out of 11 found this review helpful One word to describe this movie - 'Hilarious'. I am a big fan of the 'frat pack' so i guess i knew i was going to enjoy this movie, but it really was excellent. Vince vaughan and Owen Wilson revel as the rogish, low-moraled wedding crashers hitting on vunerable, beautiful women at each of the weddings they attend. Until of course, one of them falls in love. This forms the central theme of the movie as owen wilson desperately tries to seduce the beautiful fiance of a rich powerful soreity boy. In the meantime Vince fights off unwanted attention from her nymphomaniac sister and her gay brother. Excellent support from the likes of Christopher Walken and a fleeting, brilliant appearance from Will ferrel earn this movie 5 stars as it was fun from the very first minute to the last. Predictable for sure, but i doubt you'll rent this movie expecting an intriguing plot. Best Flim Ever February 25, 2006 Nick Kelly (England) 5 out of 10 found this review helpful When You See this flim you will laugh your heads off, this flim is comedy by far and i enjoyed it myself i warn you now you have to get this film !!! You won#x27;t be Disappointed with this film. So funny, best comedy of 2005! March 11, 2006 4 out of 8 found this review helpful Owen Wilson Vince Vaughn sparkle in this comedy as John Beckwith Jeremy Grey, two womanisers who gatecrash weddings just to meet gorgeous women. But this time the two men find themselves in a spot of bother when they both fall for two bridesmaids at a wedding, none of other than the two daughters of Secretary William Cleary his wife Kathleen. And so despite, bending the special rules od wedding crashes John Jeremy are invited to spend a weekend at the Cleary residence to get acquainted with the family with hilarious mishaps. The problems begin when John Jeremy play rugby with William and his hot-headed son Sack who knocks Jeremy flat on his a everytime he#x27;s got the ball and then shoots Jeremy in the a when the family go hunting in the woods.pAll in all an enjoyable romp, the chemistry between Vince Owen is fantastic and makes this film a treat for the whole family! This is a feel good comedy with plenty of jokes and hilarity that just keep on coming. Showing reviews 1-5 of 41 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...9 Next »
