Wedding Crashers (Unrated
Widescreen Edition) starring Owen
Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel
McAdams, Christopher Walken, Isla
Fisher
Real Good
With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding
crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its
foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously
worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy
romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall
hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-
paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a
steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of
the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair -
off between Vaughn and the congressmans oversexed daughter Gloria
(Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel
McAdams), whos unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley
Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and
Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives
late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. Its all a bit uneven,
but McAdams (considered by some to be the next Julia Roberts) is a pure
delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding
Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed
but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of
humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff Shannon On the DVD
The Uncorked edition of Wedding Crashers adds about 8 minutes of
footage to the theatrical release. Of chief interest are extended beach and
bathroom scenes between Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher, and Vaughns
extended confession to Father ONeil (Henry Gibson), but there are also
new scenes featuring Keir ODonnell as the eccentric Todd and Ellen
Albertini Dow as the potty-mouthed grandmother. This edition is billed as
unrated because it wasnt resubmitted to the MPAA, but the sexier
bathroom scene and coarser confession arent particularly raunchier than
the original film, and theres no additional nudity. You can watch the
Uncorked edition once to see the new footage, but for subsequent
viewings youll probably choose to stick with the theatrical release, which i s
also included on the DVD. Bonus features consist of two very good
commentary tracks, one by director David Dobkin and another by Vaughn
and Owen Wilson. Dobkins is more technically informative, and he
specifically discusses why the added scenes were originally cut. Vaughn
and Wilson are a little more subdued than might be expected, but they
share some laughs, recall some material that was left out, and wander into
irrelevant territory such as football and Wilsons dog. Other features include
four deleted scenes with optional commentary by Dobkin, and two
featurettes covering the making of the film (including the logistics of
staging five different weddings, and interviews with the magic and balloon
consultant) and Vaughn and Wilsons meandering discussion of the rules of
wedding crashing. For a more organized recap, theres a 24-screen text-
only list of all the rules. The opening menu is clever, but slow to load after
youve watched it the first time. --David Horiuchi
