Wedding Crashers
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson prove a winning
team in this comedy.
The premise of "Wedding Crashers" is wrapped up in
its trailer, which is literally the first few minutes of the film. Vince Vaughn
and Owen Wilson play a pair of DC-based lawyers who spend wedding season
crashing weddings successfully. Not by blending into the woodwork but quite the
opposite. They do whatever they can to become the center of fun attention in
such a way they will wind up bagging some bridesmaids. And it usually works,
too.
When the Secretary of the
Treasury's daughter is getting married, Vaughn especially is turned on by the
prospect of crashing this exclusive black-tie affair, while Wilson is tiring of
the games, until he sees a bewitching red-headed
bridesmaid.
The pair wind up getting
invited back to the secretary's house and the whole experience is something like
visiting the Kennedy family, but on Chesapeake Bay. The two leads are engaging
as Vaughn is pursued by the youngest daughter. He is anxious to leave, but
Wilson has fallen for the middle daughter, and despite her omnipresent
boyfriend, is not about to leave before he has a chance to tell her how he
feels.
The whole cast is good. Jane
Seymour, as a kinky, bored upperclass wife, is a nice surprise, as was
Christopher Walken NOT playing a
psycho.
