-Owen
Wilson
-Vince
Vaughn
Owen
Wilson
and
Vince
Vaughn
are
an
unbeatable
combination
as
two
Washington
DC
lawyers
who
get
their
kicks,
and
their
girls,
by
crashing
weddings.
Displaying
talent,
wit,
intelligence,
and
ample
charm,
the
pair
seldom
fails
at
their
mutual
mission
of
seduction.
But
eventually
they
get
bored
with
the
routine.
Everything
explodes
when
they
crash
an
upper-crust
wedding
given
by
US
Senator
William
Cleary
(Christopher
Walken).
Jeremy
(Vaughn)
makes
the
ostensible
mistake
of
seducing
Cleary's
sexually
ravenous
daughter
Gloria
(Isla
Fisher)
and
John
(Wilson)
falls
head
over
heels
for
the
beautiful,
slightly
sarcastic
older
sister,
Claire
(Rachel
McAdams).
But
Claire
is
nearly
engaged
to a
slimy,
macho,
ivy-league
snob
played
with
beady-eyed
gusto
by
ALIAS's
Bradley
Cooper.
The
boys
get
lured
away
on a
weekend
trip
to
the
Cleary's
estate,
which
is
when
the
film
begins
to
resemble
an
early
1930s
pre-code
comedy
with
its
innuendo-filled
banter,
eccentric
grandmothers,
suspicious
rivals,
and
copious
bed-hopping.
Vaughn's
motor-mouth
aggression
plays
off
Wilson's
irresistible
sensitivity
(and
vice
versa)
to
such
perfection
that
they
leave
other
contemporary
romantic
comedy
teams
in
the
dust.
They
manage
to
get
plenty
of
laughs
and
warmth
from
their
believably
close
male
friendship
without
resorting
to
any
clichéd
homoerotic
references.
Their
respective
love
interests
are
also
outstanding,
particularly
McAdams
who
displays
extraordinary
wit
and
presence
in
addition
to
her
stunning
beauty.
Walken
is
surprisingly
low-key
as
the
senator,
tuning
his
usual
craziness
down
to a
few
tensile
stares.
Seventies
mini-series
staple
Jane
Seymour
is
memorable
as
the
senator's
sex-starved,
boozed-up
wife,
who
makes
a
play
for
John.
