Wedding Crashers : A Review

Wedding Crashers, the name really attracted me to the film. And also Owen Wilson, he’s a funny guy. And Rachel McAdams, man she’s HOT!!!
So, I saw the film and I can come up with this word…OK!!! The film is not a blockbuster; it is funny, but not very funny. It tickles you, but not in a way maybe a good Comedy would. But I can tell you that this is at least a one-time watch. It is funny as I say and that’s true.
The story goes as so, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are divorce mediators by profession but they also happen to be wedding crashers. Now those not familiar with this term (I wasn’t before I saw the film), it means that they go to weddings to pick up girls and have a great time. They become instant hits at the parties. The film starts with them planning out to go to wedding, Christian, Jew and even Hindu, they don’t matter. And they pick up girls there. They play their games and draw the women towards them and then basically screw them. Now after countless such weddings they are about to crack onto the ‘Kentucky Derby’ of all weddings, the wedding of the daughter of the Secretary of Treasury played by Christopher Walken. At the wedding they pick their targets, both happen to be the other daughters of the Secretary. But it seems that this time Owen Wilson has fallen for this one (Rachel McAdams). And he tries to get her every way. Vaughn goes for the younger daughter (Isla Fisher) and really hits it off. She confesses her love for him after their first time on the beach and tells him she’s a virgin. That freaks him out and he wants to bolt. Just then Owen Wilson has scored with McAdams and Walken, but finds out that she is already dating some guy (Bradley Cooper). Now he must try and win her. When Fisher offers to take them along to a beach home with her family, Wilson agrees and has Vaughn go with him reluctantly, asking him to bend a few rules of wedding crashing.
Here, Wilson tries playing his magic to win over McAdams. The Crashers meet with the girls’ nutty family getting into mishaps all the way. Meanwhile, Fisher really has Vaughn hooked up playing with him all the time, even at the dining table. Add to that a swearing, old Granny and a gay son of the Secretary and there are laughs all the way until their real identities are revealed.
What’s left to be seen is how Wilson goes into a destructive phase and Vaughn has planned to settle down and how finally everything turns out to be fine. This film is a real treat for Owen Wilson fans. He continues his good comic performance after Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights. Vince Vaughn is also really good. In fact, this guy is really funny. And he has you more than smiling many a times with his fast paced dialogues. Some of his scenes are really good.
All in all, this film can be rated as a 3.5/5. Not very healthy I know, but a 3.5 is a really good rating. Treat yourself to some laughs, but don’t expect to be holding your stomach in pain.
