Wedding Crashers is a comedy worth watching and is memorable for many reasons, the characters and actors are a big part of it
2 February 2022
The film follows John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn), a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, they find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams). Wedding Crashers is directed by David Dobkin and written by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher. The cast has lots of famous actors, including Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper and Jane Seymour. But honestly the film wouldn't be as good if it weren't for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, they do a phenomenal job in this film thanks to their amazing chemistry and just acting chops and comedic timing. The supporting cast does too a great job, everyone are a joy to watch. You notice what a good time the actors had filming this and that's how a comedy works the best. The jokes and dialogue are great and the improvisation done by the actors were phenomenal.

Wedding Crashers is actually well written and the plot is quite original, mostly because of the screenplay being top notch. But unexpectedly, the editing is great and the cinematography is perfect. David Dobkin's direction and visual storytelling is terrific, he created a romantic comedy that will be remembered for years. It's made by adults for adults, you should know it's credited with helping to revive the popularity of adult-oriented, R-rated comedies. Films like these are scarce as it's genuinely a great and well thought out comedy, made with the upmost care by the people behind the camera and on the camera, and of course everyone else who worked on Wedding Crashers. Andrew Panay, co-producer of the film, had the idea for the film based on his own experience as a wedding crasher in his youth. The first half of the film is superb, it sadly stumbles a bit towards the ending, but overall an incredible comedy.
