Alright, I must admit that I bought my Dad Wedding Crashers (2005) on DVD for Christmas (he loves Owen Wilson, it's very strange), but I had to watch it first. I saw part of it on TV a while ago, and had to watch the rest. Now here's a comedy that is actually quite funny, but I don't understand how this slipped by with an M-rating. I mean, there is all-sorts in here that you would expect in an R-rated movie. One of the highlights of this movie wasn't Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson, it was the funny performance by Isla Fisher. She is a very cute actress, and if you thought she was funny in Confessions of a Shopaholic, she is way funnier in this. She plays the clingy sister of Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams), who falls in love with Jeremy (Vaughn) and never lets go of him. The title really says it all, there are two friends who wait all year for wedding season, and then go crash every wedding they can get invites to. The reason for this? So they can sleep with the bridesmaids. I know this sounds like a pretty sad way to spend your weekends, but Wilson and Vaughn make it look very fun. However, a romance comes into the equation, when John (Wilson) falls for Claire, the daughter of a wealthy secretary. The problem is, Claire is about to get married to Sack Lodge (Bradley Cooper), a tough, no-nonsense guy who John couldn't possibly compete with. Wedding Crashers is fun, but I found it to be a bit stupid in some places. Guys will like it, girls will swoon over Owen Wilson and Bradley Cooper...so I guess everybody wins.
