February 2005 Joe De Matteo
HUGE
comedy hit!
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are divorce mediators,
by profession, and womanizers by choice. Their
way of finding women in a romantic frame of mind is
to crash weddings. Maybe it was something they
heard from their clients that led them to this idea?
"How did you meet?" would be their question, "at a
wedding, there's always a romantic tinge in the
air."
Wedding season is their
favorite time of the year: great weather, nice
parties, love is in the air, and lust is in their
hearts. For John Beckwith and Jeremy Klein
crashing weddings is a fun way to spend a day
finding someone to spend the night with. Each
wedding presents them with another opportunity to
creatively get another woman in bed. Their
attitude is summed up perfectly when Jeremy, Vince
Vaughn, spots the lower back exposed and says,
"Tattoo on the back, might as well be a bull's-eye,"
I'll bet next spring
and summer will have the highest rate of crashed
weddings in a hundred years because of how cool they
make it look.
But love takes over, as
it always does, and John, Owen Wilson, falls for a
young beauty, Rachel McAdams, and breaks all the
Wedding Crashers' rules. A weekend at the huge
and wonderful home of a big shot politician,
Rachel's father, played by Christopher Walken, turns
everything upside down..
Will it be the comedy
of the year, maybe not, but it is poised to be in
the running.

Super
Wedding Crashers is more than just an
excellent R-rated comedy. It's a smorgasbord of
uninhibited bridesmaids whose sumptuous body parts
nearly burst through the thin laced fabric of their
low cut party gowns (try catching a glimpse of the
wild red head in mouth watering slow motion, leaping
joyously with a bottle of champagne in her hands).
I have a friend that I haven't seen since my days at
McGuire AFB who I envy to this day. He had, and
probably still does, that "Alfie" magic, the spirit
of Casanova, that rare gift from God; getting
beautiful women in bed with him. He could've been a
wedding crasher, party crasher, club crasher,
whatever. He had the knack. A little black book No
way. Too small. The entire yellow pages was his very
fingertips. He certainly would not have needed a
movie like Wedding Crashers to instruct him on
picking up, seducing and bedding delectable maidens.

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play
John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, two successful
divorce attorneys sporting an attitude toward women
similar to my Air Force buddy. They engage in a
yearly ritual called wedding season where they take
advantage of the loving atmosphere at lavish
ceremonies and receptions with gorgeous women
loosing all their inhibitions, giving themselves
over to wantonness. And our two lawyer/players.
While Jeremy is excitedly content about this
lifestyle, John is a bit weary of it. You can
tell from his solemn moment with one trophy that
he's about ready to settle down. The tramp finds his
lady in the form of Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams),
daughter of Treasury Secretary Cleary (Christopher
Walken) when he and Jeremy decide to crash one of
the biggest weddings ever. This immediately puts him
at odds with his partner whose encounter with
Claire's psycho like sister Gloria (Isla Fisher),
gives Jeremy the perfect excuse to bail. |

| Hilarity ensues, allowing Wilson and
Vaughn to play off one another brilliantly through
Steve Faber and Bob Fisher's script. It seamlessly
follows a pattern of dramatic comedy that some
writers have yet to achieve, mixing good fun with an
onscreen instruction manual for would be crashers.
Their characters, including supporting ones have
real substance, diverse individuals you can identify
with.
Christopher Walken is severely underused as
Secretary Cleary. He's always been the type of actor
who can be funny without even trying. He provides
that sharp witted humor, a trademark from some of
his past films.
Rachel Mcadams certainly has matured beyond Mean
Girls, as Walken's engaged daughter Claire. She
absolutely shines in this role. You completely
empathize with her unsurety about marrying her
fiance Zach Lodge.
Bradley Cooper, whom I just found out, is a
fellow Philadelphian is so fantastically obnoxious
as Zach, you have to like him on the general
principle of being the foil for Wilson's affections
toward Claire.
Director David Dobkin tantalizes the male
audience from the beginning, showcasing six
captivating women who play the freewheeling "ladies
in waiting". They include Rachel Sterling, Camilla
Anderson and Ivana Bozilovic. While their screen
time is limited, they do make a big impression as
does this movie which will probably encourage more
men out there to become "Wedding Crashers".
