For the irrepressible duo, there are few better ways to drink for free and bed vulnerable women. So when Secretary of the Treasury William Cleary (Christopher Walken) announces the wedding of his daughter, the pair make it their mission to crash the high-profile event. But their game hits a bump in the road when John locks eyes with bridesmaid Claire (Rachel McAdams).

B

A bawdy summer comedy for adults and mature teens, this movie features rapid-fire dialogue and sincere affection between best-friend leads and strong chemistry between the actors who portray them.

Sharply honed, if often raunchy.

3.5/5

Wedding Crashers remains a fun, chaotic ride with undeniable charm, even if some of its jokes and attitudes haven’t aged particularly well.

3.5/4.0

The perfect example of a flawed but ultimately entertaining film.

2/5

Operating on the principle that lame verbal and visual gags are funny if the audience is repeatedly pummeled with them, Wedding Crashers sorely lacks a strong script and the kind of inventive direction worthy of its not-untalented leads.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are an absolute riot as loveable sleazebag "Wedding Crashers." They pull no comedic punches (using slapstick as well as observational comedy) as their antics get them into almost relateable and still hilarious trouble as they try to pull off another caper to "get some."

Wedding Crashers runs on pure charisma. The plot barely matters once Owen and Vince start riffing. The movie knows the guys are ridiculous and lets the charm do the work until it quietly asks them to grow up! It’s really a movie about two employable men treating adulthood like a buffet they weren’t invited to, but plan to enjoy anyway. The jokes land because the friendship feels real underneath the nonsense. The true arc is if and when Owen and Vince going to finally recognize how absurd they are. Do they? They do, because it’s a studio comedy from back when studios trusted jokes more than commentary about jokes! This one’s just fun.
