Another film where I wish I could give 0 as a score, I actually gave it 1/10. I'm not really sure exactly what kind of audience this film is aimed at. It's clearly not aimed at men. If it were, Vaughn would not have been such a pussy to allow himself to get trapped by the mad bunny boiler played by Isla Fisher and end up getting married. Likewise Wilson would not have fallen in love. It's clearly not aimed at women, the films demeans them and makes them looks like sex objects and sluts who sleep with men at the drop of a hat. It's clearly not a date movie. If a guy were to take a women to this for a date she'll know exactly what he expects after the film, sex. And having seen the film most women won't be in the mood at all, despite the really weak "Feel Good" ending.
This is supposed to be about 2 men who gate crash weddings and then receptions to meet women and have sex with them, and then leave before they wake up. They have a clear set of rules and invent rules when they feel like it. I'm quite amazed that there are no rules regarding what to do if your fellow crasher starts ignoring the rules. Try Rule 1:- Every man for himself.
The film shows Vaughn and Wilson (by the way, can't he afford plastic surgery on his nose? It looks bloody awful!) attending several weddings then going to the receptions. Are they never asked for invitations at the receptions? Every wedding I've ever been to, the reception was invite only and there's always someone checking invites on the door. Normally 2 people so between the 2 of them they know everyone coming through the door.
Any crashers then get the cold shoulder and shown the door, or never make it inside. I don't know why they even bother going to the actual wedding and just go to the reception. It's rare a reception happens RIGHT after the actual wedding. Most have a private invite/close family/friends only dinner and then an evening do which is also invite only. One of the rules is about getting in at all costs and another states why bother with invites. In that case why aren't there any scenes where Wilson & Vaughn have to bluff their way into the parties? Or any scenes of them failing to get in at all.
The only party either one gets kicked out of is the most obvious, the engagement of Wilson's love interest. Not a wedding, an engagement. Aren't they screwing with their own rules here? Pointless. Going to a family house after a wedding as well. Way, way off the rules in my opinion. Right there Vaughn should have left Wilson to try whatever he wanted - he was already in danger from a female and should be allowed to think of himself 1st. This film looks nice. It's way, way too long. By about an hour. It's boring, the plot circles round aimlessly looking for places to go and never really manages to get any where.
The outcome at the end is against all rules of wedding crashing. The appearance of Will Ferrall is not needed. The ideal ending would be Wilson crashing Vaughns wedding and rescuing him and taking him to a different wedding to crash or them going to the new thing to crash - A funeral.
Avoid this like the plague.
