When the expected day at last arrives!

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are two scoundrels who love to participate in weddings seducing all the possible women.But as always a crucial twist of fate will appear and both lives will experience a new turn.
Amusing and funny entertainment in this hard to believe modern fairy tale approached from the male perspective.

Funny, but I was expecting more
Added 9/27/2009
Wedding Crashers is another in the line of adolescent comedy that seems so popular nowadays. There are some funny scenes, and Will Farrell has a great cameo. However, with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, I was expecting to be laughing out loud a lot more, and I wasn't. By the end of the film, it seems more like a shallow love story than a comedy film. Good for some laughs, but these actors have done better films.

Up And Downs
Added 9/16/2009
I went to see wedding crashers not expecting a whole lot from it I thought it looked like another random dime a dozen comedy. BUT, this film is extremely funny although some people may find it a little over the top...cringe worthy...I came out feeling very happy to have seen it, talking to my friend about it constantly for about a day, quoting little snippets, but when i think back some of the humour was to say the least a little poor in places but this did not spoil the film. If i had to be honest I loved most of the film, especially with Will Ferrel popping up in the film. WATCH THIS FILM! you just wont want to go out and buy it afterwards its just too much of the same all the way through. But even so it is very funny. All those who enjoyed Old School should give it a try.

Why is it all his fault?
Added 11/6/2009
This movie has it's good points and not so good points regarding (1) the main characters, (2) the supporting characters and (3) the overall storyline.
1 -- the main characters
Vince Vaughn -- this is the funniest I've seen Vaughn (second best was his role in Swingers). I especially loved the scene where his girlfriend accuses him of being bitter that her brother kicked his a**. The look on his face as well as his response just cracked me up.
Jennifer Aniston -- on the show Friends, I thought Aniston was the funniest female character (and, therefore, couldn't understand why Lisa Kudrow kept winning awards). But I've noticed that in movies, she doesn't bring the same sparkle she brought to Friends. Instead, her performances falls flat. This movie is no exception. Her acting here is very lethargic.
2 -- the supporting characters
Jon Favreau -- loved him in Swingers and in this movie as well. The scene at the end where he's giving Vaughn advice on how to handle Aniston's new love interest is the funniest part in the movie.
Cole Hauser -- Hauser normally plays serious roles, but in this movie, proves he can also do comedy. The scene where he hits on these two women is both creepy and hilarious.
Jason Bateman -- I'm a big fan of Bateman. He's just a natural comedian. His role in this movie is small, but he still manages to make those scenes funny, too.
Justin Long -- I think Long has a very natural, very believable acting style. In this movie, however, his talents are underused. Instead, he relies on a weird hairdo and costume to provide all the gags, but they're not even funny.
Vincent D'onofrio -- D'onofrio is the only person in this film who seemed really out of place. His attempts at trying to be funny only made me cringe and feel sorry for him. He should stick to drama.
3 -- the overall storyline
This movie definitely has it's funny moments, however, I have a gripe about the overall storyline. What bothered me was that the fault of the breakup seemed to rest solely with Vaughn's character. But I think they were both at fault.
Towards the end, when Aniston is blaming him for not giving enough to the relationship, Vaughn makes an important point that he's not a mind reader. I agree. Based on his apology at the end, I think had she spoken up, he would've done anything to make her happy.
I mean, I could see if she asked him to change and he refused, but she didn't even ask. Instead she expected him to read her mind and when he failed to do that (because he doesn't have any magical powers), she let her resentment fester to the point where she broke up with him.
This seemed really unfair to me and not a good message for women to walk away with.
I think a better message would be for Aniston to apologize as well, saying she wished she had spoken up earlier about her unmet needs and because she didn't, it caused her resentment to reach it's boiling point.
That would've been refreshing to see.

Concise Review
Added 11/3/2009
A romantic comedy that is neither romantic or funny the arguing that is required to set the stage is painful. While I think there is something to be learned by guys here, those that would benefit from it would probably never recognize it. Decent job by Jennifer Aniston is largely wasted on a lackluster story that is made all the more uninteresting through the improbable pairing of Aniston and Vince Vaughn, who seems more than comfortable playing the obnoxious charactor. Even more wasted is Vincent D'Onofrio who expertly delivers what he can out of nothing. A boring ride that, by the time it's ready to make a turn for the better leaves you just wanting to leave it in the dust. There are many great romantic comedies out there and any woman that wants her guy to enjoy one with her had better not bring this one home.

No romance, no comedy ....
Added 10/24/2009
The only saving grace of this film was Judy Davis, who, as the gallery owner, Marilyn Dean, was absolutely superb. Unfortunately, the two leads didn't have as much to work with. The problems started even before the movie began. Why on earth would a sophisticated, artsy, beautiful woman want to go out with a self-centered boor like ... what's his name? (Such a memorable role...) Once the writers had failed to establish that there was any chemistry between the apple and the orange, they immediately proceeded to split them up. Good, you think. They really need to break up. So, why watch the rest of the film? The fights are predictable. Their behavior is not particularly funny. And apart from one or two hilarious moments (Vince Vaughn getting the bejeezus kicked out of him by Jennifer Anniston's "gay" brother got a guffaw out of me), there was no real spark to the film. It just plodded on and on in its petty pace, from scene to scene, until the last syllable of its unsatisfying ending.
