Amazon.co.uk Review
With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin, the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

WHY HAS THIS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE?!! The teaming up of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is such a brilliant idea, why has nobody done it before?
But now that somebody has teamed them up, we get The Wedding Crashers, a raucous, raunchy, rollicking ride of laughs and frills.
Vaughn and Wilson are the perfect counter-foil to each other. Vaughn's manic, uptight, crazy bachelor the perfect antidote to Wilson's laid back charm, surfer-dude style calm.
It's mainly thanks to these two perfect comedy actors that this film works - on so many levels. There's slapstick, goofy humour, and plenty of one liners to shake a laughing stick at.
However, its a shame the storyline doesn't hold up as much. They've taken a brilliant set up - they crash weddings to pick up girls - but overuse it a bit too much. Towards the end, you're a bit sick of weddings, and the, by now, all too familiar routine.
And the storyline development, Wilson starts falling for somebody he shouldn't - gasp! - has been used so many times before. But thanks to Vaughn and Wilson, they do their best to keep it fresh.
And the less said about the funeral crashing the better.
Still, with a pair of delightful leading ladies in Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher, Wedding Crashers will leave you feeling you had a good time in the company of some great adult humour.

I went to watch this at the cinema when it first came out and have to say it is a fantastic film.
I have two mates Roxy and Ken and this film reminds me of them to a T. All the characteristics of Wilson and Vaughan are the same as my mates.
It is side splittingly funny in places and rolls along at a fare old rate. It goes on quite a while but never makes you feel like you have been watching a long film.
If you want a film that you dont need to think about a lot then this is the one. Curl up with you girlfriend or Roxy Boyfriend, and sit back and laugh your socks off.
Brilliant

VINCE VAUGHN, OWEN WILSON AND CHRISTOPHER WALKEN ARE JUST THE CREAM OF THE CROP IN THIS HILARIOUS COMEDY ABOUT TWO BATCHELOR FRIENDS WHO SPEND THEIR FREE TIME TRYING TO SCORE WOMEN BY CRASHING WEDDINGS.
WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PLOT I WASN'T TOO IMPRESSED, BUT HAVING WATCHED AND NOW BOUGHT THE FILM, I CAN ONLY GIVE IT MY STRONGEST RECOMMENDATION.
ITS HARD TO DESCRIBE. JUST WATCH THE DARN THING. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
