Wedding Crashers

Hi all :)

I found this link on Comingsoon.net



Christopher Walken, Director Dobkin Sign on for New Line’s “Wedding Crashers”
Written 01-17-2004 by ChrisFaile

Actor Christopher Walken and director David Dobkin have both signed on to do New Line Cinema’s “The Wedding Crashers,” FilmJerk.com has learned. Walken, who will next be seen in the April releases “Envy” and “Man on Fire,” will portray Treasury Secretary William Cleary, the father of the bride that the two leading men crash the wedding of in the film. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson signed on to do the film in October, and production is now geared to start March 15 in Los Angeles.

In the film, Jeremy Klein (Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Wilson) are a pair of rapacious divorce attorneys who score with women the quick and dirty way: they crash weddings, pretending to be guests, taking advantage of the pheromones in the air, and raid the single women like the sexual predators they are. But their lifestyle of total self-commitment runs into some well-deserved trouble when John breaks the rules and falls in love with Claire Clearly.

Another of the lead roles, that of Claire Clearly – Walken’s daughter – is now being cast, according to FilmJerk.com sources and verified by a casting document we have since obtained. Listed as being between the ages of 26 to 28, she is a very attractive woman from a powerful East Coast family and the sister of the bride. A woman with a strong sense of humor and a sense of the bizarre, she attracts John's interest by giggling during the happy couple's air-headed wedding vows, and she becomes John's primary target.

However, Claire is engaged to the wealthy, upper-crust, cruel and possessive Sack Lodge (also to be cast), a wedding that will be more a family merger than a love match. Stalked by John, who has let himself fall desperately in love with her, Claire is attracted to him, but disinclined to nuke her life on behalf of a stranger. After learning that the attentive, funny and loving John is actually a manipulative and scheming liar, she turns her back on him, ignoring her feelings— until John shows up at the moment of her wedding to Sack.

Walken, known for his eccentric personality and whose vocal delivery is often mimicked by those works for, has appeared in more than 75 films since appearing in 1971’s “The Anderson Tapes.” He won an Oscar as best supporting actor for his performance in 1978’s “The Deer Hunter.”

Dobkin is no stranger to the stars, as his two-film resume includes 1998’s “Clay Pigeons” (which starred Vaughn) and 2003’s “Shanghai Knights” (which starred Wilson).

The Scorecard
Producers: Peter Abrams, Robert Levy and Andrew Panay
Director: David Dobkin
Writers: Steve Faber and Bob Fisher
Casting Directors: Lisa Beach and Sarah Katzman
Start Date: March 15, 2004
Location: Los Angeles
Production Company/Distributor: New Line Cinema

Wow! Owen won't be having much of a rest. He must be almost finished if not in fact finished TLA now though!

So what do you all think of the storyline? Owen gets the girl lol will make a change for him doing a rom com :(

Thanks for the update Kumar. I'm glad David Dobkin will be directing the movie. I like the job he did with Shanghai Knights.

I bet Owen will be happy the movies will be filming in LA. He once said he likes to be able to go home at night and to visit with friends.

Sometimes I think I would love to have job like Owen's that takes me all over the world. I mean last December Owen was in Hawaii and this year he was in Italy. But I guess after a while you get lonely being away from friends and family. I know that no matter how much I enjoy a vacation, I'm usually happy to get home and be able to sleep in my own bed.

The story line sounds like fun and not to much of a streach for Owen. Owen pretty good at playing the charming schemer.

This one sounds much better than Date School. Hopefully with Owen, Vince, and Christopher Walken it should be really hilarious. Especially if David Dobkin is directing it. By now he should trust Owen to find the laugh and just let him do his thing.

McAdams previously starred in The Hot Chick and can be seen in the upcoming Mean Girls and The Notebook.

Has anybody seen these movies? Was she good? I hope she is, at least it's not her debut. I don't want Owen cast with another SF ;D



I've seen The Hot Chick. NONE of the acting in that was good. So I'm going to hope she was one of the lesser characters...and not one of the main ones.

And I agree Pollyanna - I hope he isn't cast with another SF! Although if the girl is one of the MAIN characters in The Hot Chick, she surely could be as bad.

I haven't seen any of those movies. I think Blockbuster is going to see a surge in "Hot Chick" videos as we all try to check her out ;D

I looked at her profile on IMDB and there isn't much info.

She is a Scorpio (like Owen) if any of you were wondering .

I've seen the Hot Chick and I thought it was REALLY funny! I just love Rob Schneider and all of his sophomoric humor. >:( God help me. But if she is who I think she is, she will indeed be much better than Sara Foster. But then again someone would have to REALLY try if they wanted to be worse than SF. >:(

Some more casting news:

The Hollywood Reporter has published the latest casting bits from Hollywood. First up, Isla Fisher (I Heart Huckabees) will star in New Line's Wedding Crashers, directed by David Dobkin. In the Owen Wilson-Vince Vaughn starrer, Fisher plays a seemingly wholesome but sexually charged sister of Wilson's crush who loses her virginity to Vaughn's character.

She's an Australian and used to be in Home and Away!! >:( (a really bad aussie soap!)

JANE SEYMOUR JOINS WEDDING CRASHERS COMEDY

British actress JANE SEYMOUR is poised to take on the role of CHRISTOPHER WALKEN's wife in upcoming comedy THE WEDDING CRASHERS.

The movie follows two pals, played by VINCE VAUGHN and OWEN WILSON who turn up at weddings uninvited so they can meet available women.

But things take on a complicated turn when Wilson's character falls for a bridesmaid, whose father, played by Walken, is America's secretary of the Treasury.
Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by texasgal on Apr 3, 2004, 11:28am

It makes sense to shoot it in DC if one of the characters is a member of the Cabinet! They would need the location shots to make that point. It wouldn't have the same impact if the fact that the man is Treasury Sec indicated in the dialogue only. Just my humble opinion.

We'll get to see Owen wearing lots of suits. I don't know, folks, but Owen in a suit is SO hot. The only thing hotter would be Owen in his BIRTHDAY SUIT. ;)

NOW you're talking...

That black tux he wore at the Oscars - OMG!

Anyway, sounds like a nice film. I keep an eye out for ANYTHING that Owen is involved in!

The Wedding Crashers will be filming near where I live on the East Coast May 11-19. I just found out a few days ago. They had a casting call today for extras to play wedding guests ... I went and submitted an application. Wish me luck! I'm really a Luke Girl, hence my nickname, but I wouldn't mind a little Owen. ;D If I don't get picked as an extra, what do you all think the chances are that I can *accidently-on-purpose* bump into Owen around town somewhere? ;)

Linn, I really hope Owen comes back to LA as soon as he finishes that filming so that he can bump into you AS DESTINED in LA...as you will be there only until 24th.

It will be even better if you can see him while he is in the East Coast from the 11th.

'Wedding's' Unwelcome Guests

Is this what they mean by method acting? On two consecutive weekends, the film crew of "The Wedding Crashers," a comedy being shot on Maryland's Eastern Shore, has displaced real wedding party guests from the Tidewater Inn and Conference Center in Easton, where many Hollywood production people have set up shop.


On May 15, one of the maids of honor in the wedding of a New York couple was dislodged at the last minute, although she made reservations months ago. While noting the irony of this turn of events, Tidewater General Manager Stephen Creese also was profusely apologetic. "I wish I could turn the clock back," he said. "I am sending her a gift package."

He confirmed that guests in another nuptial party, coming from overseas last weekend, also were bumped. But "they're very, very happy about it," Creese said, explaining they were relocated to private, upscale digs elsewhere.

"There are a lot of wedding parties," a film spokesman told us yesterday. "Everyone has done their part to accommodate everyone we can."

Indeed, the movie's stars -- among them Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams and Jane Seymour -- also have dealt with room shortages since the production decamped from Washington for small Chesapeake communities, where filming will proceed through early June. Last weekend, the film rep told us, all the Hollywooders had to vacate the Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels -- bumped by a wedding party!

Raising Bucks for Yuks

So, you're a movie star stuck on the set of "The Wedding Crashers" on the Eastern Shore over Memorial Day weekend. What do you do? Well, when you're Vince Vaughn: Get your Tinseltown buddies to fly out and throw a fundraiser in nearby Dewey Beach, Del. Eureka!

Vaughn's "Outlaws of Stand-Up Comedy" is bringing comics Brett Ernst, Ahmed Ahmed, Sam Tripoli and Sebastian -- who frequent Los Angeles' famed Comedy Store -- to the Bottle & Cork Saturday. Proceeds from the $10 ticket price will go to the Army Emergency Relief organization, "in the spirit of Memorial Day," Vaughn told us yesterday. Also slated to co-host is Vaughn's partner-in-crime Jon Favreau. "Me and Fav might even hang out afterwards," Vaughn said casually. (Could it be a "Swingers" reunion?)

"It starts at 8:30. Not 8:45, not 9 o'clock," Vaughn warned. "First come, first served."

And for those who didn't get a glimpse of the "Wedding Crashers" stars filming in Washington a few weeks back, cast and crew return in two weeks. May the stalking (aka the Vince Vaughn/ Owen Wilson watch) resume!

Taking Names

That's a wrap
"The Wedding Crashers," the forthcoming comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn that filmed extensively in the District and on the Eastern Shore, is in the can.

"We just finished a few days ago," reported co-star Rachel McAdams, the 27-year-old starlet of "Mean Girls" and "The Notebook."
"Owen and Vince were awesome," she told the Hollywood Reporter. "You can't take your eyes off them. They are so contradictory yet so complementary at the same time.
"I like to say it's almost like a science experiment that went horribly wrong but is terribly wonderful to watch. They taught me a lot about improvising and finding the humor in every moment."

Did anyone happen to watch "Entertainment Tonight" last night?? They had a quick interview with Owen and Vince regarding "The Wedding Crashers." The interviewer (Maria Menudos-sp?) asked them what type of wedding they want to have. Owen said he wanted a traditional wedding. (Awwww!) Vince made some smart remart--not being serious, of course.

It's nice to know these Wilson Boys have such family values. Is there ever a time when you see Luke or Owen doing an interview and they don't do something that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside??

From Ain't It Cool News


Ciao Harry

I just caught what we were told was the first screening of the movie, "Wedding Crashers", starring Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, and Christopher Walken. To check for authenticity this was at the Regal 6 in Old Town Pasadena.

Lets cut the crap and get right to it. This is the next Old School. And if anyone calls me a plant they can feel free to come over and water me. I'm talking to you talk-backers.

Lets break it down:

THE GOOD: Maybe Vince V's best comedic performance yet. Its like he took his character from Old School and just let it explode. Awesome psychopathic sarcastic humor here. The actress who plays the "Level 5 Clingy Virgin" who gets obsessed with him is also just awesome. The two of them almost steal the show. I want to see more from her. The movie I think is funniest when it gets clever rather than falling short for easy, sexual humor. Lets also not ignore yet another great Will Farrel cameo. This one will have fans screaming for meatloaf (find out next april).

THE BAD: Let me say this first: I am a guy and I am straight. Now that we got that out of the way...this movie has too much T&A. In fact, the movie feels cheapened by it. The movie is sharp and funny without it. It really felt out of place. There were times when the movie had some sexual humor and it felt appropriate (the plot is about picking up chicks at weddings after all) but the mood most of the time is much more like Meet the Parents. They should cut it down to an Old School level if they feel they need it to sell the movie.

THE UGLY: The entire character played by Dr Quinn Medicine Woman needs to go. Really awkward, and not in a good way. Also non resolving. Bad stuff here and very easy to cut out.

WISHES: I really wanted more from Rachel McAdams. It felt like they kind of pushed aside her plot with Owen Wilson in favor for the Vaughn humor...but they ignored the fact that we actually care about the story as well! She was also a big selling point for me to want to come to the screening so I WANT MORE RACHEL!

LAST RANDOM THOUGHTS: Dont ask me why this came to mind but I thought the men's wardrobe was really cool. I found myself wanting certain shirt-tie combinations i saw in the movie. This hasn't happened to me before in a movie and quite frankly I'm worried. * * Also, there is a touch football scene that totally outdoes the Meet the Parents pool vollyball scene.

I really hope they take the comment card suggestions from everyone because I feel they can really have a great movie here. I mean, it was really really good as is, but some of the excessiveness and unbalanced plot with owen and rachel i think hurt it a little. They have until april 2005, hopefully they can fix it. I will definitely be seing it again.

Wow, great review...I mean, I am so psyched for this. And I'm excited to see Vince, especially if it might be his best performance yet. I love him...he's so great!

Hopefully they'll add a little more Owen time in there...I mean, I don't want to feel that his story was shoved to the side...that would annoy me! I mean, the more Owen, the better!

Well, I hope the producers listen to the test audience's suggestions, and don't let Owen's part fall to the back burner. I like Vince - but Owen should not come second to him.

They can be equal, or Owen comes first - either or!

Despite all that - I still cannot wait to see TWC!! It's currently the movie I'm most looking forward to seeing!

New Line: Post 'King' regroup
'Notebook' tops rebuilding year post "Rings" trilogy


New Line Cinema, under the leadership of co-chairmen Robert Shaye and Michael Lynne, couldn't have begun 2004 on a higher note. Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the culminating 2003 installment in his magisterial trilogy, amassed $377 million domestically -- $86.6 million of that accrued to New Line's 2004 accounts. More importantly, the movie scored a clean sweep at the Academy Awards, winning all 11 categories in which it was nominated, including best picture. But that left New Line facing a question: What to do for an encore? The studio's answer was to hunker down, release some movies and begin planning. "It was a little bit of a reset year," New Line production president Toby Emmerich says. Adds Rolf Mittweg, president and chief operating officer worldwide distribution and marketing: "We are allowed to take a breather. Everybody knows, even our parent company (Time Warner), that it's impossible to have that kind of success every year. But there are things that are cooking at the moment that will be ready for 2006 and 2007 that will bring us more hype."

On the screen: New Line entered 2004 with the supernatural thriller "The Butterfly Effect," starring Ashton Kutcher. The $10 million film grossed $58 million to become the company's most profitable movie of the year. But New Line's most surprising success was the tear-jerker "The Notebook." The romantic drama, which raised Rachel McAdams' star profile, quietly established itself as a word-of-mouth summer phenomenon, particularly among older audiences, and slowly but surely built up $81 million.

Although the studio broke even on another thriller, "Cellular," it concedes that "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," "Raise Your Voice" and "Laws of Attraction" all have to be classified as disappointments. However, since they were all negative pickups, the studio bore minimal risk. "That's part of the business plan," Emmerich says. "You don't want it to be more than one-third of your slate, but there's a place to have them."

New Line, however, bore the brunt on its production of "After the Sunset." The $60 million heist comedy, directed by Brett Ratner and starring Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and Woody Harrelson, failed to hit $30 million. Mittweg suggests that the movie was hurt when Universal Pictures moved up the release of "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" to the same opening date. "Universal decided to give 'Jones' a 500-print release on our date, which took our females away, which was not nice," he says. "But they ultimately paid for it because they ended up not grossing what they were supposed to, either." Emmerich puts it more succinctly: "In hindsight, I shouldn't have made the movie. ... It didn't justify that budget."

On the lot: New Line was among the most active bidders for new material during the summer and fall as it endeavored to set up new projects. It acquired "Honeymoon With Harry," an unpublished novel by Bart Baker that Paul Haggis will adapt and direct. It put "Notebook" director Nick Cassavetes together with "Iron Man," a Marvel Comics adaptation and potential franchise. It is developing the fantasy "Inkheart" as well as adapting Philip Pullman's celebrated kids' fantasy "His Dark Materials" -- though Chris Weitz opted out of directing the project after having completed a screenplay.

Emmerich believes that the epic fantasy genre, which "Rings" ignited, will play itself out "to some extent" but remains viable for the moment. "I wouldn't make a trilogy, but I think that it's too tried and true a genre (to ignore). But it's quality dependent."

And while New Line might appear to be moving away from its horror-movie roots, Emmerich says that's not so. "As long as Bob Shaye has got a heartbeat, trust me, we're going to be doing horror movies. However, because everybody else has figured out that it's a real market, it's much more competitive. So you have to be smarter about the ones that you make."

Emmerich likens the challenge New Line faces to planning a varied financial portfolio. "If you have a portfolio, you want to have American equities, European equities, bonds, some precious metals," he says. "I don't want to rely on any one thing because genres run hot and cold. So it's not like we are a horror company or we are a comedy company. We are a mini version of a major studio, and those studios are diversified in what they do."

Next: "I'm going to own next summer, you heard it here first," predicts Emmerich, enthusiastic about the prospects for the Vince Vaughn-Owen Wilson comedy "The Wedding Crashers," which is said to be testing well. "I think it's the best comedy I have ever made. Hopefully, we won't get unlucky." Meanwhile, diversification will be on display with the female-oriented comedy "Monster-in-Law," which marks Jane Fonda's return to the screen; the Tony Scott action thriller "Domino," starring Keira Knightley; David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence"; and the family film "Son of the Mask."

END.

I'm really looking forward to this movie. I'm glad to hear that it is testing well; I think it will do very, very well at the box office. .

From wilsonbrothers.com

Set Visit: Wedding Crashers

PASADENA, California — Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, on the balcony of a church and clad in tuxedos, are, naturally, talking about weddings.

"If you were going to get married — and be honest — would I be one of your groomsmen?" Wilson asks Vaughn. "Would I make the cut? I'd like to think we've hit it off pretty good on this movie."

"Absolutely, absolutely you would be," Vaughn answers. "In fact, you would be the only groomsman, and it would probably take place somewhere in the Eastern Bloc."

"I like the sound of that," Wilson replies. "Sounds like a hell of a bachelor party."

"Me and you and a bunch of mail-order brides," Vaughn says.

As much as that sounds like a scenario for a movie ("The Mail-Order Men"?), Wilson and Vaughn are supposed to be talking about a different wedding movie, one the actors have been shooting all day and night.

For some reason, though, they just seem to want to talk about other weddings.

"Have you ever been a best man?" Wilson asks.

"I have."

"And how did that work out?"

"They separated."

"I was the best man at my older brother's wedding and he got divorced too," Wilson says. "So, basically, if you want to jinx your wedding, ask one of us to be your best man."

Again, as much as that sounds like a scenario for a movie ("The Worst Best Man"?), Wilson and Vaughn are supposed to be talking about the wedding movie they are actually making: "The Wedding Crashers." Oh, that one.

"Vince and I play two guys who go to weddings to pick up girls, and it's the idea that girls might be sort of good to go at weddings," Wilson finally explains with the raise of an eyebrow.

Specifically, Wilson and Vaughn are partners at a Washington, D.C., divorce mediation firm who have come to realize that women are aroused in a nuptial atmosphere. That the lifelong friends are never actually invited to the weddings they attend is hardly a setback. In fact, Wilson and Vaughn's characters have been crashing weddings for so long they have it down to a science.

"You pick a location [to sit for the ceremony] where you can see the bridesmaids enter, but not so close that you have to make eye contact with the wedding party," Vaughn explains, pointing to the spot where he and Wilson sat for the scene shot a few hours earlier. "It's all about positioning for all the things you're looking for. You gotta be able to see all the girls."

To add a little more fun to the experience, their characters also make games out of wedding crashing.

"Some of these services are kind of long, so we sort of make bets throughout the services, like what they're going to read from for the wedding, if the bride is going to cry or not, things to help us get through the service part of it," Wilson reveals.

Where the wedding crashers get thrown off in the movie is when they fall for bridesmaids of the daughter of the Secretary of Treasury, played by Christopher Walken. When Wilson and Vaughn's characters get invited to a weekend's worth of post-wedding festivities, the crashers meet their biggest challenge yet.

"One of the exciting things about this wedding that we're attending is that we're going to be shooting in Washington, D.C., at the National Cathedral, and we're going to have Senator John McCain and James Carville there," Wilson reveals.

The bridesmaids are played by Rachel McAdams of "The Notebook" and Isla Fisher of "I Heart Huckabees," two relative newcomers Wilson and Vaughn have enjoyed taking under their wings.

"It reminds me of when I got a Chia Pet for a holiday occasion and at first it was just this piece of clay, and pretty soon gorgeous green things were growing out of it," Vaughn deadpanned. "I had to water it every day, I had to pet it, talk to it, and it was just a full-on Chia Pet with a lot of beautiful, beautiful, beautiful leaves growing from it. And that's just to sum up my experience working with these two girls."

David Dobkin, who directed Wilson in "Shanghai Nights" and Vaughn in "Clay Pigeons," is helming "The Wedding Crashers," although instead of him bringing Wilson and Vaughn on board it was the other way around.

Wilson and Vaughn met through their group of mutual actor friends, which includes Ben Stiller, Will Farrell and Jack Black, who have made several movies together (and some of whom have cameos in "The Wedding Crashers").

Wilson and Vaughn also co-starred in "Starsky & Hutch" together, although Vaughn insists it's only a coincidence.

"We keep hearing this [Brat Pack-type of] thing lately, but there's no real plan with it or whatever," Vaughn said. "I've always been a fan of Owen's and liked his stuff a lot, and we were both in 'Starsky,' but we didn't have a lot to do together in it. And when this idea came about, [the appeal for me] was more about the concept, and also Owen. But there was no meeting of people, like plotting stuff, although that would be fun if you got to pick places on those types of things. Like based on locations, that may be a good way to start picking scripts."

Eastern Bloc, here they come.

From the Chicago Sun Times:


Gorillas and Panthers and witches, oh my!

January 9, 2005

BY CINDY PEARLMAN

It's a year where Batman begins and Star Wars ends. Princess Leia will be born and King Kong has to die. Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn want peace in the U.N. while Tom Cruise will fight the War of the Worlds.

Welcome to 2005 at the box office.

The farce will be with you because Steve Martin is Inspector Clouseau. Then there's that Boy Wonder -- and we don't mean Robin, but Harry Potter, who is back for another year at Hogwarts.

Yes, Russell Crowe is brawling again, but this time it probably won't make the tabloids because he's putting on gloves as a Depression-era fighter.

As for the women, Kidman's nose gets twitchy, Jessica Simpson has scandalously short Daisy Dukes and Lindsay Lohan has even taken time off from club-hopping to rotate Herbie's tires.

Though some dates are subject to change throughout the year, here's a road map for 2005:

Choice pit stops

"The Wedding Crashers" (July 22): Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are divorce mediators who crash weddings on the weekends looking for one-night-stands. One of the guys falls hard for the lovely Rachel McAdams, who happens to be engaged to someone her wacko politician father (Christopher Walken) has found for her.

Child-friendly accommodations

"Cars" (Nov. 4): It's Pixar's seventh film, starring the voices of Paul Newman, Richard Petty, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt and John Ratzenberger, and directed by John Lasseter ("Toy Story"). It's about classic cars on Route 66 who can, yes, talk.

END.

I think 2005 will be a great year for Owen; both "The Wedding Crashers" and "Cars" will be choice pit stops for movie goers and Wilson fans alike; I'm definitely looking forward to both of them (although I could have sworn I had read somewhere that "Cars" had been pushed to 2006.)

I posted only those movies that were related to Owen; if you would like to read the entire article, here's the link:

Found this on IMDb...

Quote:
I saw this movie at special screening. IT totally rocks. Easily the funniest movie since "Anchorman". Blows "Fockers" out of the water.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are amazingly hilarious together...the best part is they don't blow any jokes in the trailer.

Oh for all you Rachel McAdams fans out there, she is awesome in this movie and is very very hot!

Great "R" rated fun (hopefully if the focus group doesn't attack it for the gratatious nudity)

Can't say enough great stuff about this one, I will be seeing it again when it comes out in wide release.

Remember you read it hear first....This movie is FUNNY AS HELL!

Post by tequilaroses on Jan 26, 2005, 6:37pm

Awesome!

I read that "The Wedding Crashers" is going to be New Line's tent-pole release for the summer of 2005.

So, apparently the studio has VERY high expectations for this movie.

I think that says a lot of Owen & Vince, for the studio heads to have that much faith in them as actors and superstars, to pull in the audiences needed for a major production studio's tent-pole release.

I think this movie will do very good. It'll be amongst all the major action pictures of the summer - so it'll be a break away from all of that.

Owen & Vince are beyond adorable in this movie - they are downright sexy! I love watching them dance in the trailer!

July 23rd will be one of my favorite days this year!

I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! ;D ;D ;D

Forgive me if this is totally wrong, but TWC seems to be testing so well, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the move it up. Or maybe they'll move it up so they won't have to compete with the onslaught of July movies. I know next to zilch about the movie-biz. This is just the opinion of an average movie-goer. :D

I found this quote in an interview with Rachel McAdams...


Quote:
You just finished this movie, “The Wedding Crashers,” with Owen Wilson, where you’re the object of his desire. Is it about another obsessive guy?
I guess so. What is it with these men?

What was it like working with him?
It was great. I learned so much about improvising and just having fun and keeping things loose. It was a nice contrast to “The Notebook.”

Some actors say Owen Wilson is sexier because of his broken nose…
I have to say I have a little soft spot for all the little broken angles in his nose, and the way he purses those lips, and his Southern drawl, his Texas drawl.

This is an excerpt from an an article posted on this site:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2004-06-15-frat-pack_x.htm



Vaughn, 34, and fellow charter member Wilson, 35, previously brushed up against each other in Starsky & Hutch and Zoolander. But they never were a buddy team before now. Leave it to director David Dobkin, who did 1998's Clay Pigeons with Vaughn and 2003's Shanghai Knights with Wilson, to play matchmaker and bring the pair together for The Wedding Crashers, expected to be a June 2005 release.


Dobkin denies there is any Hollywood conspiracy afoot to keep the clique together, even though another Frat Pack member puts in a hush-hush Crashers cameo. "I just thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to put them both in a movie,' " the director says of his leads. "They are opposites in many ways, and I wanted to see what the chemistry was going to be."



Does anyone know which Frat Pack member is making a cameo in the movie??

Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by letters2dorian on Feb 23, 2005, 8:33pm

found an article on Wedding Crashers. nothing new, but it does confirm the opening date:


Quote:
Wedding Crashers

John Beckwith and Jeremy Klein, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Clearly.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two divorce mediators who crash weddings looking for Ms. Right Now. Rachel McAdams stars as the girl who Vaughn “falls” for and her bizarre politician dad is played by Christopher Walken. Will Ferrall also stars in an unknown role but I’m assuming it’s just a cameo.

Well, forget all the potential mushy romantic stuff I described above. The trailer focuses entirely on the stuff the guys want to see: booze, babes, and corny angles to get the girls into bed. I might have to bring a pad and pencil. I might need some pointers!

Wedding Crashers hits theatres on July 22, 2005.

(from DCE Cinemas > Wedding Crashers)

lol they clearly make a point of making the movie sound like a guy movie, yet why do i have the feeling that when i go to the theatre, it'll be packed with ladies? ;)

oh, and i thought it was Owen who falls for Rachel?? man, i can't wait for this movie!!!

Hoo boy, thanks for the hot photo of Owen, Sib - the photo of him dancing with Jane Seymour.

On the other hand, what photo of Owen is NOT hot?

I'd sure be looking at him with the same dreamy expression as Jane. I'd have my body intertwined with Owen's!

I can't wait for the new trailer to be available at places other than mtv.com... for some reason I am not able to watch things on their site... it says its cause I don't have windows media player, but I do... I think it has something to do with the fact that I use mozilla

anyway, I was just contemplating how great it will be when this movie is coming out and owen will be on tv all the time promoting it

Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by bunnypanda on Apr 12, 2005, 2:17am

The premiere will be held shortly before the release date (usually 1 day ~ 2 weeks before the release date). The movie is scheduled to be released in the US and the UK on July 15th at the moment...but they keep changing between July 15th and July 22nd so often...it may still change. There will be a premiere in LA..and hopefully one in London too. The exact date & venue have not been set yet. They usually get announced about 2 weeks before each premiere. As soon as the info is announced, it will be posted here. Keep checking bubbles ;)

A blurb in Premiere May 2005 mag.


Quote:

For those on the guest list, wedding receptions often mean bad DJs and boring relatives. For the crashers - cynical divorce mediators John (Wilson) and Jeremy (Vaughn) - they're the ideal environment in which to eat, drink, and score with lovelorn checks. Until, that is, John falls for a politician's daughter (McAdams). "The fact that you can do a coming-of-age story with 35 year old men is a little absurd," says director Dobkin (Shanghai Knights). "I have so many friends that are single - a lot of guys that are quite frankly my age, Vince's age, Owen's age. We're in a bit of an elongated childhood." Offscreen, the guys proved his point by infiltrating a gathering of young Texan Republicans on the shoot's first night. "It was at the hotel, and we just kind of wandered in," Wilson says. "I've crashed quite a few parties, actually, especially when I first got to Hollywood."

Party Animals: Wilson cold-called Democrat James Carville and Republican John McCain, and convinced them to cameo in a scene with Christopher Walken, who plays the Secretary of the Treasury (and father of the bride). "We didn't tell them the other was coming," Dobkins say. "They were taking shots at each other, but they're both big Christoper Walken fans."



Modified to add the picture accompanying this article is the one we've seen before of Owen and Vince dancing -- and Vince is giving Owen a sign. The pic is very small in Premiere.

Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by wilsonfreak on Apr 29, 2005, 8:08pm

Here is a little tidbit I found from Google Alert. Thought it was a bit cute. :)

Can Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn cut it as an odd couple?

Save for a few flings with Jackie Chan, laid-back Wilson has been going steady onscreen with uptight Ben Stiller for quite a while. Seven films, in fact. But every relationship needs a breather.

Enter director David Dobkin, who decided to play matchmaker while editing Wilson's Shanghai Knights. "I thought about Vince's fast Chicago delivery paired with Owen's slow Texas drawl. A dark tall guy with a fair-haired guy. It's a chemistry thing."

The script for The Wedding Crashers (July 15), about divorce lawyers who crash weddings so they can score with the bridesmaids, seemed perfect.

Lawrence J. Epstein, author of a history of comedy teams titled Mixed Nuts, says, "If it turns out Wilson is the romantic and Vaughn is the cynic, that would be the perfect conflict model." Bingo. Wilson falls for bridesmaid Rachel McAdams (The Notebook) while Vaughn itches to drop her lovestruck sister.

Quote:
Steve Faber and Bob Fisher, screenwriters, "The Wedding Crashers"

"Some guy at the high school paper introduced us," says Steve Faber, recounting how he met his decades-long writing partner, Bob Fisher. "He said, `You guys would be great at writing editorials. You're both [angry], political and nerdy.'"

In time, adolescent editorials ("Nationalize Oil Now!") turned into a writing partnership on the sitcom circuit. And now, the release of their first feature film.

"Wedding Crashers" may not take down OPEC, but it does star Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as divorce mediators who crash weddings to meet women.

Not bad for a screenwriting debut.

Wilson and Vaughn -- along with pals Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell (who has a cameo in "Wedding Crashers") -- are on top of the Hollywood heap right now, a reality both thrilling and intimidating to Faber and Fisher.

"What I thought was going to be a small movie now has all these expectations," Fisher says. "So in that way it's nerve-racking."


That is SO cool!!!! Will has a cameo in The Wedding Crashers! :o

Wait for Madagascar to come out on video... It was "ok". The kids and some other adults in the theater loved it, though. But, to be honest, I didn't get what was so damn funny about it. Oh well. >:(David Schwimmer and Ben made great animated voices, though!!

I got the June/July issue of Jane magazine yesterday. There is a cell phone advertisement in it that looks like a flip phone. It says "Life's good. Make it even better and pick up, already" on the front of the phone. When you flip the phone open it has a small version of the Wedding Crashers movie poster on the "screen". Here's the interesting part - the bottom of the phone says:
"Want to score free passes to an advance screening of Wedding Crashers? I do.
It takes serious skills for confirmed bachelors John (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn) to crash weddings and pick up bridesmaids. If it's not fake identities, it's balloon animals. Want to crash the movie yourself? No need to get that creative. Just do the following:

It goes on to say something about a bridesmaid-friendly un-honeymoon trip contest and has fine print about screening passes not guaranteeing entry to the screening, etc.
The cities are San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, Dallas, Phoenix, and Houston.

Death Cab for Cutie, the Flaming Lips and Jimmy Eat World are among the artists, um, crashing the soundtrack for the upcoming comedy "Wedding Crashers." The Lips contribute a new song, "Mr. Ambulance Driver," which frontman Wayne Coyne has said will appear on the band's in-the-works new album, At War With the Mystics. The Jimmy Eat World tune, "(Splash) Turn Twist," was previously only available on a few hard-to-find EPs and international releases. Other acts on the soundtrack include Rilo Kiley and Bloc Party. The wedding crashers themselves, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, also contribute a sultry version of the Jewish classic "Hava Nagilah." The soundtrack hits stores on July 12, and the movie is due in theatres July 15.

SCREENING: THE WEDDING CRASHERS
06.03.05
By Nick Nunziata

.I went on the set for The Wedding Crashers last year. It was a brief stay, but I got to chat withthe film's writers and see the spiky entity that is Christopher Walken's hair from a distance as well as Rachel McAdams before she had a few McHits under her McBelt. I didn't get to see Owen or Vince, a fact which saddens me to this day.

This is what I consider the comedy for the cool folks this summer. Vaughn and Wilson are sort of like their own brand, one that doesn't extend to Ben Stiller because he also mixes in a steady diet of lame comedies. Vince and Owen are the current class of the crop, and this one's as safe a bet as there is.

The duo play a pair of guys who crash weddings in hopes of landing some of the choice derriere that frequents such affairs. Of course, they most likely fall in love and realize the error of their ways, but that isn't why we see these movies. Owen. Vince. Together. Whoa, what if they fell in love with each other at the end? That'd be awesome, and it'd be fun to see Bill O'Reilly implode at the idea.

Want to see it early? Follow the rules below and make sure to WRITE ON THE ENVELOPE the words "I LUST FOR OWEN WILSON!". I want to freak out the USPS.

These are the cities we're doing the screening in:

Atlanta
Raleigh
Charlotte
Birmingham
Nashville

Grab a SASE and shove it in the mail and PLEASE specify the city it's for as I don't know all those suburbs and often have sent passes to the wrong cities because folks didn't specify.

Also, the new CHUD.com shirts are here in all their glory and supplies are dwindling. Please look here or here if you want to grab one. I can send it with your movie pass! Either way, send the SASE to:

CHUD.com

WILSON UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SEYMOUR FONDLING SCENES


Movie star OWEN WILSON shot his most difficult scene in his latest movie, THE WEDDING CRASHERS - fondling JANE SEYMOUR.

The STARSKY + HUTCH star grew up admiring the British actress and admits to having a crush on her, which made it very difficult for him to grope her in his new comedy.

He states, "I was nervous. Jane Seymour is a very beautiful and attractive woman, going all the way back to when she was a BOND girl. She looks great now.

"The problem was, having grown up watching DR QUINN: MEDICINE WOMAN, it was hard to all of a sudden be asked in the scene to put my hands on the medicine woman in not so much a healing way, but in a sexual, intimate way.

"All of a sudden I felt like a shy little schoolboy from Texas and Jane did help to coach me through that. There were a lot of takes and she found out that I'm a perfectionist and I demand to get a scene right and I'm not gonna move on until we do.

"She invited the whole cast out to her wonderful house and I was included, so I don't think there were any hard feelings."

Post by sylcia on Jun 29, 2005, 3:21am

hi Guys i found this on frat-pack.com


IMDB Review Calls Wedding Crashers "inappropriate, hilarious and glorious""

Saw a advance screening of this on Friday night. Hilarious doesn't do the film justice. You know how in most films you remember the funniest parts and bring them up as you leave the theater? This one, it's hard to remember the best parts because there's so many of them.
Unlike his previous films, where Vince Vaughn is usually reduced to the role of 'scene stealer', here we get a full dose of Babaganush, and he's in his finest form since 'Swingers'. If you liked him in his Swingers/Made persona, you'll love him here. Some of the riffs that he has literally will have you holding your sides with laughter.
Owen Wilson is Owen Wilson. You either like him or you don't. He's more of the straight man in this film, although he does have some pretty good lines too, and he has great chemistry with Vaughn, especially in the scenes where they're fighting. He's the ying to Vaughn's yang.
The movie certainly 'earns' it's R rating. There's a healthy dose of nudity, sex related hijinks, and f-bombs. But it's not 'gross out' humor a la American Pie. It pushes boundaries, but not just in a 'shock value' way. It's genuinely funny.
I saw the movie with a bunch of critics, who usually the jaded type, were laughing their asses of as well. Guys will love this movie and will be quoting it for the rest of the year. Girls will love it too though, and there is a romantic subplot (cheesy at times, but forgivable given how funny the movie is), with Rachael McAdams doing a great job as Owen Wilson's love interest. Isla Fischer plays the role of 'scene stealer' in this one, serving as Vince Vaughn's psycho love interest. And Chris Walken is Chris Walken.
So overall..inappropriate, hilarious and glorious. Better than Oldschool. Way better than Anchorman. Best comedy of the year, maybe the last couple of years." (IMDB)

Wedding Crashers

The best thing to come along since Old School, this hilarious comedy follows two lawyers (Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson) who spend every weekend crashing weddings in order to bed hot girls (like Isla Fisher's Gloria, below). Vaughn and Wilson are like buddies who've known each other since their childhood and still give each other noogies: You'll have fun just watching them have fun. --- Leslie Robarge

Underneath that...

Scene Stealer We Love: Isla Fisher

This 29-year-old gets the biggest laughs in Wedding Crashers as Gloria, a sex-obsessed bridesmaid.

Q: You turned a supporting role into a major part. How'd you do it?

A: I knew Gloria would be funny and memorable if she was aggressively, crazily sexual, so I went for it.

Q: Is comedy your thing?

A: My next film, London, is a drama, but whenever I try to do a serious role, people laugh. I actually went to clown school.

Q: So are you going to any weddings this summer?

A: No. I actually haven't been to many, except for my mother's - she's on husband number three!

A dab hand at movie comedy
Owen Wilson likes offbeat roles

Next up in comedy Wedding Crashers

IAN SPELLING
NEW YORK TIMES

Owen Wilson would like to clear up a misconception.

It's not true, the star of Bottle Rocket (1996), Shanghai Noon (2000), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Zoolander (2001), Starsky and Hutch (2004) and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) insists, that he jumps back and forth between highfalutin indie films and lowbrow, mainstream studio films.

"I think, when people are talking about my `indie' films, they're probably referring to the films that I've done with Wes," Wilson says, referring to Wes Anderson, who directed Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic, the first two of which he co-wrote with Wilson. "Those were actually studio movies, but the fact that people think they weren't is probably a testament to Wes and his pretty singular vision.

"I sure like working on those," he says, "but I don't notice that I'm having a better time when I'm working on those than I did necessarily even on Anaconda (1997). I have fun acting.

"You want your movies to turn out well and be respected," Wilson says, "but, even in a bad movie, there's this collective brainwashing that happens where you think, `This could be good.' That's because it's too discouraging to go to work every day on a movie you think is terrible."

Wilson is back in lowbrow mode for his latest film, Wedding Crashers, directed by David Dobkin, who directed Wilson in Shanghai Knights (2003) and co-star Vince Vaughn in Clay Pigeons (1998). It's an unapologetically profane comedy that landed an R rating for "sexual content/nudity and language," descriptions rarely heard in this mass-appeal era.

Due for release on July 15, Wedding Crashers casts Wilson and Vaughn — who had previously acted together in Starsky and Hutch and Zoolander — as John and Jeremy, pals and business partners who've mastered the art of picking up women at weddings to which they haven't been invited. John's world is upended, however, when he falls for Claire (Rachel McAdams), a beautiful bridesmaid at the latest nuptials they've crashed.

As the story progresses, John comes dangerously close to maturing — dangerously, because it's hard to develop the character without sacrificing the laughs.

"You've got to walk the line," Wilson says on the phone from a film festival in Hawaii, "because there isn't that much that's funny if you get too much into the romance. My character does start to fall for Rachel, but we tried to make it so it's not sappy."

Canadian-born McAdams is a rising star now, thanks to the sleeper hit The Notebook (2004).

"I really wasn't aware of who she was when she was cast in the movie," Wilson admits. "What I liked about working with her was the way she fit right in," Wilson says. "Vince and David and I had worked together before, and could get talking a mile a minute about the way we wanted a scene to go. It would be easy for somebody to get bowled over, and Rachel was good at standing up for her character and making sure that things were believable for herself. I admired that.

"She's also pretty easy on the eyes," Wilson adds, "which was another nice thing!"

Much has been made of the fact that Wilson, Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell and Wilson's brother Luke collaborate so often, in various combinations, on various projects. Sometimes they're co-stars, sometimes one or more will turn up in a supporting role or cameo in another's film.

Wilson doubts that working together so often makes it any harder to convince moviegoers that they're watching characters, rather than real-life friends. "I don't know, but it's not something I really worry about," he says.

"I know that with Bottle Rocket, our first film, we had test screenings and a lot of people weren't even sure if it was supposed to be funny, if we were losers or into crime," Wilson says. "So I think it can help if an audience is a little bit more familiar with you, especially in a comedy.

Next up for Wilson is The Wendell Baker Story, a comedy/drama written by Luke Wilson and co-directed by Luke and their other brother, Andrew. After that he'll be heard as the main character in the animated film Cars.

Though he's recognized on the street, Wilson is happy to say that, so far, he isn't crazy famous.

"I haven't had to deal with that so much," the 36-year-old actor says. "There are certain people who seem to become great stories for the tabloids, whom they can make money off and sell magazines by getting stories about, but luckily I've never fallen into that category.

"I was looking at a place the other day and the realtor, at least as far as I could tell, seemed overly concerned on my behalf about, `Well, I don't know if you'd have enough privacy here, with the paparazzi.'

"I told the realtor, `That hasn't ever really been a problem.'"

Here's a review of The Wedding Crashers from Ain't it Cool News...


Quote:
WEDDING CRASHERS makes this reviewer bust a gut!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a look at the Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy WEDDING CRASHERS. From this review and the previous we've gotten, this film seems to be a little long, but filled with some quality laughs. However, if the below reviewer is right in saying that Christopher Walken is vastly underused in this film, then I may have to throw the glove to the ground and go after the filmmakers. Wasting Walken is a crime, so I hope I disagree with the below statements... at least when it comes to Walken since he calls the rest of the film hilarious. Anyway, enjoy the review!
Hey Harry,

This is my first e mail but I thought i'd give a try to the review side of film. I've recently been able to see Wedding Crashers and this is what I have to say about it.

Being a fan of Old School and other silly humor films of the past decade, this film was amazingly hilarious. And there are two words to explain the quality, Vince Vaughn. I went into this film with slightly lower expectations and wrote it off as an aimless comedy coming from corporate Hollywood, granted that's exactly what it is, but it had me laughing for 90 mins out of the two hours it screened.

Owen Wilson: his character, at times cheesey has an insatiable ability to have the women in the film, and in real life, cling to his every word. His gift of gab and his expertise of Crashing Weddings gets him in the door and then home with a brides maid. Time and time again it works, until finally he meets "the one" (aka Rachel McAdams). Their relationship establishes through a very cheesy line, but even the cheese in this film is aware of it's self and uses that to it's advantage. In his quest to finally settle down and grow up he tries to win the love of Rachel McAdams (who's engaged) over the course of a holiday weekend.

Vince Vaughn: I can't say ernough about this performance. After this movie, I'd watch this guy read a phonebook and i'd still laugh. He's the fast talking, graceful dancing, slightly paranoid, uber player. However, all these traits that he's so well aware of backfires attracting a sociopath lover who is the sister of the woman Owen is in love with. His ordeals are primarily thinking of ways to get the girl to understand it's just "not going to work".

Christopher Walken: Unfortuantely, this is the weakness of the film. Chris Walken is horribly underused in thie film. It seems the part, which usually screams CHRIS WALKEN, could have been played by any standard actor. A tragedy of wasted brilliance.

Overall, this film is exactly what a comedy should be, funny. It makes you laugh, sometimes cheap laughs and at other times complex laughs. The arrival of cameos (like they'd make an Owen Wilson movie and not have a cameo) will make those who are familiar with these actors shrill with glee. And the good news is, I wasn't the only one laughing. The entire theater would errupt with laughter and all generally had the same opinions of it. It's funny.

If i make it could you call me BeeGee? I can't think of anything better and keep my identity hidden. it's my lack of creativity. Hope this helps.


I thought this was an interesting article about the "R" rating of this movie. From Calendarlive.com.

Quote:
R-rated comedies, often box-office busts, are making a comeback, thanks to big DVD sales. When New Line had its first research screening of "Wedding Crashers" in Pasadena last fall, the studio knew it had a potential hit on its hands. The madcap romantic comedy, which stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as a pair of lovable rogues who get their kicks from partying at stranger's weddings, got a resoundingly enthusiastic reception from a theater full of young moviegoers.

One of the studio's only concerns about the film, which arrives July 15, was its rating. The film's director, David Dobkin, was contractually obligated to deliver a PG-13 movie, largely because R-rated comedies today rarely perform as well as PG-13 films. But when the audience filled out a research survey after the screening, most of the scenes they checked off as their favorites — including one featuring a furtive sexual act performed under the table at a formal family dinner — clearly put the movie into R-rated territory.

According to Dobkin, when members of an audience focus group were asked what rating they thought the movie should have, it was not a hung jury. "Twenty out of 20 people said they wanted the film to be rated R," Dobkin recalls. "After that, New Line never raised the issue again. The scenes people liked the best were the R-rated ones."

um, i'm kind of in a rut right now...my sister (she's 13) and i have been waiting for WC since we first saw the trailer before Meet the Fockers!! however, when i found out it was rated R, i started to freak out...my sister doesnt mind watching rated R movies (i mean, she watched TRT and TLA and old school...) but then i started reading some of the threads on IMDB and they keep going on and on about how sexual this movie's gonna be...and now i dont know if my sister should come along....

8-)What a dilema L2D! 8-)

Only you know what type of thing your sister could handle watching, and some 13 year olds "know" more than others what goes on.....

Personally when my 2 were 13 (their 19 and 17 now) I would probably have let them watch, 'cos the've got to learn somehow! But I've always been quite open and liberal anyway.

Maybe you could see it 1st then see whether you want your little sister to see it too? I know that doesn't sound very fair but it's the only advice I can think of..... sorry I couldn't be much more help babes.

Well, I'm going to be the downer here and give my opinion. No offense intended to anyone.

The fact that it's rated R means that no one under the age of 17 should see the movie. They make these ratings for a reason. No one seems to follow them, though. PG-13 means no one under the age of 13. Yet, everytime I go to a PG-13 movie, there is always a child or two in there clearly under the age of 13.

Whether you decide as a parent or guardian to let your child or sister watch this movie at home, is up to you. But the fact that the theaters allow these children in to any movie they want, is wrong. Why is there even a ratings system at all? Let's just make movies, don't rate them, let everyone in to watch them, then we can see after the fact if it's affected the children in any way.

When I was 16, I tried to get into an R rated movie. The theater didn't let me. They used to actually ask you your age if you wanted to see an R rated movie if you didn't look like you were 17.

If there is material in this movie that deserves an R rating, then kids don't need to be exposed to that no matter how mature they may act or think they are.

I got booted out of "Blue Lagoon" when I was 12. My friend and I bought tickets with no problem and sat down so proud of ourselves......only to get a double-take from the theater manager making his rounds who told us to get up and go. We didn't get our money back either-he said we'd been dishonest....we were humiliated.
I took my daughter to the movies last week and watched a group of kids-none of whom looked older than 13 yrs. old-buy tickets with no problem to "Land of the Dead"-an R rated film. Their money was taken and they were let in without question.
Maybe they are more strict in other places, but not here. [image]

The Frat Pack keep getting better
Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell and company take over Hollywood

COMMENTARY
By Erik Lundegaard
MSNBC contributor
Updated: 2:08 p.m. ET July 8, 2005

So where was Owen Wilson while the other guys were filming “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”? Will Ferrell starred and Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and brother Luke Wilson all managed cameos. But no Owen. Maybe it was an in-joke. Owen’s ultimate slacker role. So laid-back he didn’t photograph.

They are called “The Frat Pack” now because, like Sinatra’s original “Rat Pack,” they are friends who keep popping up in each other’s movies, and because nothing makes a journalistic career like noticing a trend or coining a term.

Entertainment Weekly was the first to give it a go, offering us “The Slacker Pack” in spring 2004. Nice, but at the time Stiller was appearing in six movies, hardly a slacker, so USA Today countered with “The Frat Pack,” which seems to have stuck. It beats “Slacker” in the Google sweepstakes 3,370 to 233 (as of this writing), and it reminds us of “Old School,” the boys’ semi-breakout hit in which a group of middle-aged men create a fraternity to recall the wild days of their youth. Fun is in the past, and in nostalgia.

Stiller and company have done something similar; they’ve created a fraternity to recall the wild movies of their youth: “Stripes” and “Animal House” and, unfortunately, “Neighbors” and “Dr. Detroit.” Fun may be in the past, but so is not-fun. See “Envy.”

Intense vs. laid-back
Each frat boy has his own persona. Luke Wilson is the handsome, lovelorn everyman, while brother Owen is the laid-back lothario who lucks into things. He succeeds without trying and this plays nicely against Stiller, who tries furiously but fails. Ferrell is the doughy man-child, and never funnier than when expressing honest emotions as either child (“Elf”) or man (“Anchorman”). Vince Vaughn plays the pal who needles the protagonist into action. Jack Black is pure anarchic intensity.

In fact, you could split up the fraternity along these lines:

Intense
Jack Black
Ben Stiller
Vince Vaughn

Laid-back
Luke Wilson
Owen Wilson
Will Farrell

Problems arise when a picture stars two guys from the same category. Maybe if Owen Wilson had played the dreamy neighbor who lucked into a fortune in “Envy” the movie would’ve worked; instead you had Black and Stiller, two intense performers with nothing to offset them. “Dodgeball” did phenomenal business — $114 million domestically — but Vaughn felt wrong as the Bill Murray-esque, schlubby good guy. Playing laid-back, his considerable charm disappeared. Apparently if his fingers aren’t snapping he barely registers. See his cameo in “Anchorman.”

With the exception of Wes Anderson’s offerings, their movies together are formulaic. The dumb guy who learns just enough to get the girl in the end (“Zoolander”; “Anchorman”). The buddy who creates havoc in the life of the normal guy (“The Cable Guy”; “Orange County”; “Old School”). Rivals must be overcome, lessons learned. When in doubt, add an inane contest. Thus “Zoolander’s” walk-off between male models, and thus “Starsky & Hutch’s” disco dance-off, and thus “Anchorman’s” battle royale between competing news teams. And thus all of “Dodgeball.”

Sometimes the joke seems to be just how absurd within the formula the movie can become. The good guy’s gym is going to be saved from the corporate conglomerate...by a dodgeball game? The misfits include someone...who thinks he’s a pirate? The protagonist needs inspiration...and Lance Armstrong walks by? We know the formulas so well we get the jokes before they arrive. This should allow for endless variations but the same jokes keep popping up: The bionic soundtrack during action scenes (“Zoolander”; “Anchorman”); the 1970s AM hit song “Afternoon Delight” (“Starsky & Hutch”; “Anchorman”). It’s the nostalgia theme again. “It’s funny because we thought it was cool back then and now we know it’s not...so it’s funny.” Yes, and sometimes not-funny.

Stiller vs. Hoffman
Still, gives them their props. Ferrell is the most natural comedian to hit movies since Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson ain’t bad either (although he’s starting to annoy), and Stiller, while not as naturally funny, is talented in the way that Dan Aykroyd or Dana Carvey are talented. Witness his spookily accurate rendition of David Starsky. His trouble: he can be so uncompromising his characters come off as one-note. You wish for a little play in the line, a glimmer of something else. Even in his more prestigious pictures — “Permanent Midnight,” “The Royal Tenenbaums” — his characters don’t suggest variation. And put him beside a real actor? Gene Hackman or Dustin Hoffman? Forget it.

Both “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers” did insane business ($330 million and $513 million worldwide), but “Parents” suffered because there was nothing to offset De Niro’s character. Stiller responded with polite dishonesty — the attempt to fit in — the emasculated Jew among the WASPs — and polite dishonesty is rarely interesting.

“Fockers,” though, had Hoffman, who responded with polite honesty. “We’re honest people!” he shouts at Stiller, but the son doesn’t get it. When, during their first dinner together, De Niro attempts to emasculate his host by saying, “[Your wife] is the primary breadwinner and you didn’t have a job,” the look of polite hurt on Hoffman’s face, and the depths it suggests, took the movie to a new level. In contrast, even when the son is injected with truth serum he doesn’t become honest like his father. He becomes a jerk — a Hollywood producer-type — which is an odd choice for a nurse from Chicago but a good choice for the son of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Which is why it’s a bad choice.

Getting better
I wanted to wrap this piece up with the thought that maybe these guys are like the cut-ups in class that the teacher has to separate before they can do real work. That Sinatra was at his best away from the Rat Pack and maybe the Frat Packers are better away from each other, too. Think Vince Vaughn in “Swingers” and Will Ferrell in “Elf” and Jack Black in “High Fidelity” and Owen Wilson in the Jackie Chan movies and Ben Stiller in “There’s Something About Mary” and the underrated “Mystery Men.” They ruled in these movies. “Zoolander”? Not so much.

Then I saw “Wedding Crashers” and it hit me: They’re actually getting better. Their only stinker in the last four years has been “Envy.” Through “Old School” and “Starsky & Hutch” and “Dodgeball” and “Anchorman,” they keep delivering, but “Crashers” may be the best of the bunch. It’s an original concept (by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher) and doesn’t rely on nostalgia or bionic soundtracks. Sure, it loses itself in the last half hour, but for the first 90 minutes it’s raunchy and funny, with Owen Wilson initially playing to type (laid-back lothario) before morphing into brother Luke (lovelorn and handsome). And Vince Vaughn? Ain’t laid-back no more. He’s at his finger-snappin’, cherry-poppin’, fast-talkin’ best. Welcome back, baby. Never leave.

Hey- My husband I and I both plan to be there at the premiere showing of Wedding Crashers- July 15. If at all possible we'll finagle seats behind our 20 year-old son and his friends sitting next to his 17 year old brother and his girlfriend!

At worst/best, they will be so embarrased just to realize that "we actually GET the sexual jokes..."

At best/worst, they will realize we left the theatre early to crash a very private "wedding" of our own making...HT ;D

PS: My worst would be an unexpected sibling nine months down the road! HT [image]

Also, if you watch the trailer, you'll see the option to "crash this trailer" in the upper lefhand corner. Click on that and you can upload a picture of yourself, choose a character and be in the trailer some how! :'( I haven't done it!

I just saw this movie too! Made it just in time for the late matinee. It was super. And I don't think I'm just saying that because of who the lead actors are.

Whoever it was here who said that Vince looks like he's a little heavier than he used to be - I agree. He's chunkier than he was in Dodgeball, but he was so funny and real.

And Owen, ah Owen. What can I say? He's a doll. Owen just gets better & better with each movie he makes. This one is his best yet!

I will definitely see it again before this weekend ends.

EW review: 'Wedding Crashers' a hit

By Lisa Schwarzbaum

Entertainment Weekly


Friday, July 15, 2005; Posted: 11:06 a.m. EDT (15:06 GMT)

(Entertainment Weekly) -- To call them breasts is to miss the point, and to call them tits is just ... wrong. So I'll go with boobs to describe the naked anatomy on display, however briefly, in "Wedding Crashers," an unabashedly jiggly, bawdy, it's-all-good comedy about a couple of guys who love getting laid.

Bare boobs, flashed in good fun in an R-rated comedy without concern for children or politicians or morals police! Ha, not only have the terrorists not won, but the rights of an adult audience to laugh at good jokes about erections have been secured for another summer.

Truly, it feels like a long hard time since moviegoers have tasted a piece of this pie, in which guys leer, girls giggle, and no one gets hurt or produces a firearm; it's been such a dry spell, in fact, that the retro, hetero, '70s-style raunch of "Wedding Crashers" feels new again, modernized by the neo-retro-hetero duo of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as champion skirt-chasers.

In the scenario written by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher, directed by "Shanghai Knights' " David Dobkin with relaxed understanding that on-screen chemistry is what happens between dialogue cues, best friends Jeremy (Vaughn) and John (Wilson) love the swordsman's life so much that the two have made a specialized after-hours career of wangling their way into strangers' weddings, the better to pick up chicks susceptible to the romance in the air and the champagne in their glasses.

The prologue of this funny, ungirdled romp -- a buddy picture about buddies who actually know what women want (and worldly women who know what they want too) -- is a montage of past nuptials. Here the boys relive a few of the triumphs at which they successfully united and conquered. A Jewish celebration, followed by Italian and Chinese and Irish wingdings -- John and Jeremy know that the way to score in any culture is to look like it's the last thing on their minds, devoting themselves instead to entertaining the children, schmoozing with the oldies, and showing their vulnerable side to the ladies.

Swingin', hors-d'oeuvres-stuffing, garrulous Vaughn makes expert use of his off-the-cuff, chow-it-down, guy-to-guy solidity and his ability to get the whole room dancing (he's the first one up for a good hora), while John's foolproof moves include twirling chastely with little flower girls (Wilson a vision of frosted hair and smarmily sincere gestures) in a way sure to be noticed by nearby compassionate bridesmaids.

The two meet their matches, as they must; every horndog has his day.

Crashing the haute Washington, D.C., festivities for a daughter of the U.S. secretary of the treasury (Christopher Walken, the go-to man to play crackpot fathers when Robert De Niro is busy), John falls for one of the bride's two sisters (Rachel McAdams) while Jeremy is waylaid by the other (Isla Fisher).

And the movie becomes a comedy of mixed intentions, culminating in a goofy cameo appearance by a comedian famous for his old-school impersonations, as the long-in-the-tooth swinger who taught Jeremy and John all the intricacies of wedding crashing in the first place.

What the boys learn, of course, is that for mature men, the mating game's more fun with a partner one cares about the next day. What we learn is that the pairing of Vaughn and Wilson is a success to do a matchmaker proud.

EW Grade: A-

From FoxNews, about the WC premiere in NY:


Quote:
'Wedding Crashers' Looks Like a Hit

David Dobkin's "Wedding Crashers," a comedy from New Line, looks like it's a big, freakin' comedy hit.

It's also rated R because it's a little raunchy and very politically incorrect.

Nevertheless, Dobkin gets the best performances to date out of Vince Vaughn - for whom this could be a breakout role - and Owen Wilson. Luckily, he had a good script by Steve Faber and Bob Fisherto work with.

Last night in New York City, a whole gang of Hollywood A-list types and celebs came to the Ziegfeld theater and later, to Cipriani 42nd St., to validate "Wedding Crashers" as a success.

Not only were Vaughn and Wilson on hand, but so were comedian Chris Tucker, actors Sam Rockwell and Paul Rudd, "Upside of Anger" writer/director Mike Binder, cast member Jane Seymour (who plays a sexy, drunk mom in "Crashers"), and ingenue-of-the-month Rachel McAdams.

Vince took it in stride when I mentioned that he stole the movie, which isn't an easy thing to do when Owen Wilson is around.

"He had the harder work to do," Vaughn said. "That's not as easy."

Dobkin, who's 36 and looks younger, had already directed Wilson in "Shanghai Knights" and Vaughn in "Clay Pigeons."

"I wanted to put them in a film together, but there was no script," he told me. "Then this one came along, and it was perfect."

Despite a finished screenplay, Dobkin did a little work on it himself, and it shows.

In between the riotously funny R-rated scenes, there are some nice character touches that give "Crashers" unexpected texture. It's a perfect summer date movie.

Now Dobkin must wait for his next script, but it's not such a bad thing. Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor ("Sideways," "Election," "About Schmidt") are writing it just for him.

Some other news from the party: Rockwell, who was Oscar-caliber in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," has "Jarheads" in the can and is taking a short break before picking a new script.

And Binder has just finished "Man About Town," the romantic comedy that's said to be likely to resuscitate Ben Affleck's career. Rough screenings this week attracted a number of top-line distributors who will now vie for the right to release it.



I totally agree with: "Dobkin gets the best performances to date out of Vince Vaughn - for whom this could be a breakout role." and "Vince took it in stride when I mentioned that he stole the movie, which isn't an easy thing to do when Owen Wilson is around."

Awesome job by both Owen & Vince - both were in top form.

Vince really did steal the show. He was hilarious. The funniest parts of the movies were at his expense.

I can't wait until the DVD comes out. I bet there will be great deleted scenes and other special features (at least, I hope so).

In the meantime, I can't wait to see it again in the theatre - at least once or twice more.

We got there with 5 mins to spare when to my dismay there was a huge sign stating that the movie was not going to show until two hours later. Being 8 months pregnant I was not waiting for two hours, I need my sleep. LOL. So, we have made plans to see the movie on Tuesday and this time I'm phoning ahead of time.

Yes, the guys do make a joke of the Purple Hearts, but THE MOVIE IS A COMEDY!!! The guys are SUPPOSED to be scoundrels.

If the movie was meant to be serious, yes, the Purple Hearts would be offensive. But the movie is outrageous and, thus, so is the humor.

I can't think of anyone who would assume somebody with a Purple Heart got their medal by any means other than having been wounded in military conflict.
Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by tequilaroses on Jul 25, 2005, 5:31pm

It is practically a guarantee that someone or some group of people will complain/rant about something. It's likely a given.

There will never be a situation or event that pleases everyone.

The difference is that most people will not cause a media stir with their displeasure or disagreement. Most of us recognize that a media frenzy will not change something such as a movie. Unfortunately there are those few who thirst for the media frenzy - likely to make their thoughts and feelings seem valid in other people's eyes - or seemingly forcing them to.

Some people will complain no matter what - there are those that thrive on it.

There is a HUGE difference between two actors portraying a couple of guys using purple hearts to nab free drinks all night and two guys doing the same thing in "real life". Some people need to get a grip on reality!

With bombings, terrorism, murders, rapes, muggings, robbings, disease, starvation, etc. - you'd think people would be more concerned with things of more importance. Good grief!

I for one, have more to concern myself with than what is portrayed in a movie - especially a comedy for goodness sakes!

Owen Wilson on "Wedding Crashers," Buddy Movies, and Picking Up Women
The Rules for Crashing Weddings: “I noticed in the script there were maybe two rules mentioned, and then I noticed over the course of the movie that whenever Vince was on one of his rants, he would throw in rules to support whatever argument he had. And so I started to figure that out and I started to throw my own rules into the mix. And eventually it got to rule 87: don't quote a rule to another. Don't go throwing rules in another wedding crasher's face.”

Wilson on Working Opposite Rachel McAdams: “I loved working with Rachel. I wasn't really aware of who she was. Before the movie started, I hadn't seen ‘Mean Girls’ and it was during filming that we had a screening of ‘The Notebook.’ I was kind of blown away because I had already seen in ‘Wedding Crashers’ how she could be funny and very charming, but that was like a very powerful emotional role that she played. And to me she has like such a great face. It could be like be from a 1950’s movie star. It's very open. She's very polite. She's Canadian and that's always nice.”

Owen Wilson’s Dancing Skills: “[I’m a] very poor dancer. Vince actually is a good dancer and enjoys it. I had to be coaxed out there onto the dance floor. And I would always try to slow the music down, because slow dancing I can handle. We had two dance instructors on the movie and they earned their money.”

Owen Wilson on Working with Jane Seymour: “Well, it's funny because I grew up, you know — she was like a beautiful, she was like a Bond girl. But I kind of knew her also as Dr. Quinn [laughing]. So it was a little bit of a hiccup for me to be all of a sudden doing a scene where I'm supposed to be putting my hands on her in a slightly inappropriate way, but I got used to it! And by the end I was calling for more takes because we really needed to get the scene right.”

On Picking Up Girls: Wilson says he doesn’t have any really good pick-up stories but admits meeting women has definitely gotten easier. “I mean it's probably gotten easier for me to meet girls as I've gotten older, and girls are like better able to see what a becoming person I am. It may have something to do with the fact that I'm in movies. I would like to think that it's because I'm a kind person. Girls just as I get older are better able to see into my heart and recognize that. Who knows?”

Outtakes, Bloopers, and the “Wedding Crashers” DVD: Wilson says quite a few scenes didn’t make it in the film but he thinks they’ll end up on the DVD. “We did a scene where we're singing ‘99 Red Balloons’ that at one point they were going to have for the end of the movie, but maybe now you'll have to wait and see it on DVD,” said Wilson.

Changes to the “Wedding Crashers” Script:” “Well, from the script that I first got when I signed onto the movie, to what's actually in the movie, I would say a lot of it changed. We did a lot of work on it - on the structure, too. And I think we made it better. We elevated the material.”

Owen Wilson’s Experiences with Weddings: Wilson’s never actually crashed a wedding but he has been to a wild one – his oldest brother’s. “I was the best man at my brother's wedding. My older brother got married [and had] a beautiful ceremony in Washington, D.C. The marriage lasted about seven months. Hey! At least, they tried,” said Wilson, adding, “My older brother's wedding was pretty wild. One night we all went out in Georgetown. There was a fight, so that was kind of crazy…”

On the Possibility “Wedding Crashers” will Inspire Real Wedding Crashers: “I am terrified because I know what a litigious society we live in and I'm really worried about opening myself up to some lawsuits. Yeah, take away my house . . .”

Rating His Buddy Movie Partners – Jackie Chan, Ben Stiller, and Vince Vaughn: “I'd like to do a movie with all those guys in it. All of us like on some mission together. I feel like I could pitch that to Disney tomorrow for a high seven figures. Well I guess because Jackie Chan was maybe the first person I worked with on a buddy movie, and I worked with him twice and had such a good time… But jeez, I had a great time with Ben too. I worked with him like seven or eight times. And then I think Vince would probably bring out the best energy in me, because he has such a kind of you know [high energy level]. You gotta keep up because he talks a mile a minute.”

Wilson on His Desire to Take on More Dramatic Roles: “The Life Aquatic” offered Wilson an opportunity to do a more straightforward, even serious, type of role. Wilson says the idea of doing more dramatic roles appeals to him. “I definitely would like to do some more dramatic roles. I think that sometimes with comedies, I try to keep stuff real, but especially with these big comedies, you have a burden to sort of try and deliver big laughs, and sometimes that can get into a sort of like craziness. It would be nice not to have that pressure on a movie [where] you could just kind of tell the story and be funny within that, where you don't have to go for the big moments or worry about that pressure.”

I received this today from www.contactmusic.com:
=======================================

WILSON'S BID FOR WEDDING CRASHERS SEQUEL

OWEN WILSON is already considering making a sequel to his smash hit movie WEDDING CRASHERS - but only if the emphasis is changed from weddings to funerals.

The Hollywood heart-throb, who starred opposite VINCE VAUGHN in the romantic comedy, is convinced his character JOHN BECKWITH would become bored with targetting pretty wedding guests and seek out a fresh challenge.

He tells Maxim magazine, "Funerals are an idea that I thought was funny... they're like a natural progression from weddings.

"The idea is that eventually, if you crashed so many weddings just to pick up chicks, then you'd get bored of the same type of crowd and start crashing funerals."

28/07/2005 09:27
=======================================

I doubt the validity of the above article. Didn't John Beckwith make it very clear in TWC that funerals are NOT appropriate for meeting girls?

If the article is true, what will inspire John to change course? How will he go from A to Z? And how will Claire Cleary get written out of the plot?

Asks puzzled T-gal.

Eminem is apparently willing to pay big for the privilege of enjoying the subtle comedy stylings of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson with as few distractions as possible. The New York Post says the butt-baring Grammy winner coughed up some of his hard-earned cash in Las Vegas this week to take in a private viewing of "The Wedding Crashers."

Em, who performed in Sin City Sunday night, reportedly reserved one of the 14 theaters at the Palms Hotel on Monday so he and his peeps could watch the flick in peace.

It is so thrilling that this movie is comedy gold and kicking the box office in the arse!

I'd be willing to bet that it will win several MTV movie awards! I'm thinking BEST ON SCREEN DUO, BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE, and BEST MOVIE for sure! [image]

Owen Wilson shows his true heart
Claire Sutherland, film writer
04aug05

HIS trademark character is affable doofus, but that doesn't mean Owen Wilson's free from controversy.

In Melbourne to promote his latest comedy Wedding Crashers with Australian co-star Isla Fisher, Wilson conceded a film company promotion to give away cardboard Purple Heart medals might have been a little ill-conceived.

An FBI agent this week slammed the move as disrespectful.

"It probably is kind of stupid to be doing that in these delicate times but it didn't really register on me so much," Wilson said.

"Was there honestly, really controversy?"

Wilson was more spirited in his defence of his regular on-screen cohort Ben Stiller against a recent critical caning by a New Yorker writer.

Wilson wrote a letter to the critic defending his Zoolander and Meet the Parents co-star.

"That article just didn't seem very fair; it just seemed so ungenerous," he said.

"There literally wasn't a nice sentence in there that didn't have a qualifier, so I just wrote a note.

"You have to be careful. You don't want to sound too indignant."

And was Stiller appreciative of his efforts?

"So-so," Wilson laughs.

"He was appreciative but I think he thought I'd just made it a bigger deal.

"It almost became a scene from one of our movies where I was making things even worse."

The two stars are on a lightning trip to promote Wedding Crashers, this week's US box office No. 1.

His time in Melbourne has been all work, but Wilson had some time off in Sydney where he went swimming at Coogee, until a warning that struck terror into him.

"I was just swimming there as the sun was going down and this surfer said, 'Mate there's a shark in the water' and so I swam to shore, very fast.

"You can really imagine seeing a shark come up to you once you hear that, then it starts going through your mind, all that BS: 'All you have to do is hit them on the snout or yell underwater'.

"But we got to shore and the guy said it was a little one, so it wasn't quite as harrowing as I'm going to tell it when I get back to America."

Meanwhile Fisher, engaged to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, better known as Ali G, said she would be having an Australian wedding.

"I haven't actually thought about my wedding yet," she said.

"I was talking to my mum about it a couple of days ago and now I have a window I'm going to definitely be thinking about what I want," she said.

Fisher is learning about Baron Cohen's faith.

"I'm learning about Judaism. It's really interesting. It's a very rich culture and it's very interesting to me theologically. I find it fascinating," she said.

New Line Cinema's "Wedding Crashers" Breaks $180M to Become the Top-Grossing Comedy of 2005
Film Is 2nd Highest Grossing R-Rated Comedy of All Time

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/25/2005 -- The New Line Cinema comedy "Wedding Crashers" has passed "Hitch" to become the top-grossing comedy of the year with a cumulative box office gross of $180 million since its July 15 debut.

The film, which continues to play well throughout the country, now ranks as the 7th biggest grossing film of the year. It has also passed such hits as "Pretty Woman" and "There's Something About Mary" to become the second highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time behind "Beverly Hills Cop."

The outrageous comedy "Wedding Crashers" stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as divorce mediators and lifelong friends who have never met a wedding they couldn't get themselves into. Guided by a secret set of wedding crashing "rules," the pair find their way into a different wedding and different bridesmaids' heart every week. But when they crash the social event of the season, one of them falls for the engaged daughter (Rachel McAdams) of an influential and eccentric politician (Christopher Walken) and decides to break the "rules" in pursuit of her. This leads to a wild weekend at her family's palatial estate where the ultimate "Crashers" quickly find themselves in way over their heads. The film is directed by David Dobkin.

Sorry girls, I didn't read the entire thread before posting, so I don't know whether any of you will agree with me... or not...
I saw WC last night and, to my own surprise, I thought it sucked. The story is pretty cool and the actors are good, but I thought the direction totally misleading. Also, editing was bad, sometimes that was a long pause in between dialogues that made no sense, cause it was not to build suspense or anything.
Don't get me wrong here, I really did laugh a lot and was entertained for the whole time, but I'm used to see Owen, and Vince for that matter, in movies that are really great, always excelent direction, editing, scoring etc. So it was kind of shock to me that I didn't like this one.

I did love Owen and Vince, they always make me laugh...

Hi Nana, I don't agree with you on the Direction of the movie. I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say the direction was misleading but I thought it was pretty much in line with the characters. I also thought that he paid alot of attention to detail (I loved some of the people at the wedding).

My opinion may have something to do with the fact that I like David Dobkin. (I have listened to the commentary on Shanghai Knights so many times that I feel like Dobkin is a personal friend.)

Btw, I like SK/Dobkin too, I just didn't like the final cut on this one.

Virgins far more hilarious than crashing weddings
Snap, Crackle, Pudas!
By Joe Pudas
Published: Monday, September 19, 2005
Article Tools: Page 1 of 2

More than anything else, the summer of 2005 will be remembered for jumpstarting the renaissance of the R-rated sex comedy.

Until now, for every "American Pie" sequel, there have been a baker's dozen of flaccid farces like "Van Wilder," "Tomcats" or "Slackers"-a film so unfathomably bad it motivated "Slacker" director Richard Linklater to try and get its name changed in order to avoid confusion between the two.

I would argue that audiences wanted something a little more reined-in, a little less off-the-wall. Something with less emphasis on upping the gross-out ante and more on likable characters and raunchy but good-natured humor-which the hits "Wedding Crashers" and "40-Year-Old Virgin" amply supplied.

"Wedding Crashers" has just surpassed the $200 million mark and, financially speaking, it deserves its many comparisons to "There's Something About Mary." Its success was fueled by substantial word-of-mouth, it stars members of the Frat Pack and critics and audiences alike applauded it not only for its agreeable raunchiness, but for its sweetness as well. But is it really as good as everybody says?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed much of "Wedding Crashers," especially the beginning champagne/ejaculation montage, which itself sums up the essential appeal of the movie-watching Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crash weddings. But as this is a mainstream comedy, it's only a short wait until the wedding crashing stops and the moralizing begins; once the plot shifts into gear, "Wedding Crashers" becomes a rather leaden and unconvincing love story between Wilson and Rachel McAdams.

"Wedding Crashers" is almost always amiable, but it meanders and drags after a strong start, strenuously trying to juggle a supposedly sweet love story, a typical fish-out-of-water scenario, and a whole slew of diversions-including the prominence of McAdams' fiance's alarming abuse, a disconcerting subplot which seems like it wandered over from "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

It is also the first movie I think I've ever seen where Christopher Walken isn't given a single funny or subversive thing to do or say (hell, even "Gigli" knew how to use Walken effectively), and that's downright inexcusable. With the exception of the third-act "surprise" cameo, the film follows the beaten path, relying on Wilson and especially Vaughn's charisma to carry it over the rough patches.

"The 40-Year-Old Virgin," on the other hand, is the real deal: It's charming, continuously hilarious, insightful and even wise about its subject. Writer/director Judd Apatow makes as strong a feature debut as any this year, using the naturalistic approach he perfected with his wonderful cult darling shows "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared," and the affection he has for Steve Carell's lovable virgin and his raucous pals (Paul Rudd, Seth Rogan and Romany Malco) show through in every frame.

The characters, especially Carell's love interest (the lovely Catherine Keener), feel like flesh-and-blood people, acting as unpredictable and endearingly erratic as most of us do in real life. Unlike "Wedding Crashers," the love story enhances the laughs instead of interrupting them; Keener and Carell have a wonderful connection, and I'll take their engagingly awkward chemistry over Wilson and McAdams' borderline-fake Hollywood interaction any day.

Apatow's film isn't perfect but it is a truly authentic sex comedy. In order for a sex comedy to succeed, it needs to be as plausible as it is funny. "Crashers" may be the movie everyone is clamoring about, but "Virgin" will have more longevity.

Ten years from now, which will you remember more fondly: the first twenty minutes of "Wedding Crashers" or Steve Carell trying to figure out how to put a condom on? I know which one I'll remember.

I am so jealous of Jane Seymour. She is the same age I am, but I don't look anything like her! 8-)

Plus she got Owen to, um,... well, you know the rest.

Thank you for the link, Hutch. I hadn't seen this one.

Alba, Carell, 'Crashers,' 'Virgin' Big Nominees For MTV Movie Awards

Awards will air Thursday, June 8 at 9 p.m.


Over the past 12 months, audiences fell head-over-heels for some movie characters who couldn't get enough lovin', and others who have more than they can handle.

Appropriately, then, the 2006 nominees for the MTV Movie Awards honor wedding studs, virginal duds, and a host of kissing, brawling and spell-casting buds.


2006 MTV Movie Awards: Nominees

Bawdy blockbusters "Wedding Crashers" and "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" lead the pack with five nominations each, followed closely by crowd pleasers "Batman Begins," "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," "Hustle & Flow," "Sin City" and "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" with three each. Keeping with the theme of spreading the love, the defiantly diverse slate also offers fans the (probably) once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to root for Paris Hilton, "Memoirs of a Geisha," the creepy dude from "Saw" and a pair of cowboy soulmates, all in the same evening.

Cast your votes for your favorite heroes, villains, kissers, fighters and all the rest at the MTV Movie Awards site.

The top dogs in this year's animal house are Steve Carell (Best Performance, Comedic Performance and On-Screen Team) and Jessica Alba (Team, Best Hero, Sexiest Performance), the latter for her roles in two films: one invisible performance ("Fantastic Four") and another that found her visible in all the right places ("Sin City"). Several actors — Jake Gyllenhaal, Terrence Howard, Angelina Jolie, Ewan McGregor, Brad Pitt, Jessica Simpson, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson — scored two nominations.

As for the one-of-a-kind categories that no Oscar broadcast would dare embrace, the nominees present a wide-open realm as stunning and edgy as "Brokeback Mountain" itself. Do you prefer your fight scenes to be man-versus-woman ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith"), man-versus-men ("Kung Fu Hustle"), beast-versus-technology ("King Kong") or Padawan-against-Jedi ("Star Wars III")? Are you more terrified by a villain with no nose (Ralph Fiennes in "Potter"), no future (Tobin Bell, "Saw II"), no sanity (Cillian Murphy, "Batman Begins"), no warmth (Tilda Swinton, "The Chronicles of Narnia") or no lower half whatsoever (Hayden Christensen, "Star Wars III")? Between those categories and a Best Kiss group highlighting the gross ("Just Friends"), the groundbreaking ("Brokeback") and the gossip-fueled ("Smith"), there's a nominee for everyone to love.

The annual ceremony also figures to be a memorable one for some already-famous faces who rented out their star power to Hollywood last year, including Andre 3000 ("Four Brothers"), Nelly ("The Longest Yard") and Beyoncé ("The Pink Panther"). Naturally, the nomination of Paris Hilton ("House of Wax") is also convenient, as she'd likely be attending (if not hosting) the afterparties anyway.

As irresistible as the image of Harry Potter, Anakin Skywalker and the Hazzard boys duking it out might be, the biggest brawl of the 2006 awards figures to be between two similarly crude comedy blockbusters. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson will no doubt be renting out their familiar "Wedding" tuxedoes for the event, while "Virgin" Steve Carell will hope to crash their party and push Aquaman aside to make room on his shelf for a few new toys.

The 2006 MTV Movie Awards airs on Thursday, June 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

I just saw Wedding Crashers last night, it was better then I expected!
And it wasn't as dirty, either. (I really didn't want it to be really dirty, y'know?)
I felt so bad for Owen, though. (Getting beat up!) I just wanted to kiss him and tell him it was okay. The poor thing!
But, the movie was wonderful. I loved it, and am hoping to watch it again today.

I watched it with commentary last night, and Vince and Owen ae so adorable!
Owen laugh is to cute for words. Vince and him sound like they had fun together.
I loved the way he and Vince talked about their childhood. Owen talking about school.It as so cute, and I just love finding out more about Owen and Vince.
Did anybody else watch it with Owen and Vince commentary?

I think there should be a second one, hmm but this time they crash by my house! lol j/k! I heard they(Vince and Owen) are doing a movie called "Outsourced", is that still a project going or not? they have it on imdb for quite a while..
Re: Wedding Crashers

Imdb has a reputation of being vvvvvslow on the uptake. But no more news on Outsourced yet.
Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by texasgal on Mar 29, 2007, 8:42pm

Ocean, I was so excited about Vince & Owen doing Outsourced only to have my excitement dashed by the news that Vince & Owen had been "outsourced" to two lesser-known (and presumably less expensive) actors. That was at least 2 years ago and, since then, there's been no more news about this movie. I think it's either been shelved for some reason or has died.

Hi guys,

Hope its ok to bump this thread back up. I just thought it may be worth mentioning that Wedding Crashers is going to be shown on UK TV, on Channel 4, tomorrow night at 9pm... though im sure everyone's already seen it but I somehow thought I should maybe mention it, so, there you go *shrug* I think it must be a network premiere, I haven't seen it shown on terrestrial TV before.

I'm thinking I might watch it again... I've only seen it once, I've got the DVD and watched it last June but at the time I wasn't so keen on it, didn't think it was as good as others had made it out to be but that was a while ago. Reading whats said above about the commentary makes me interested to watch that too, ill maybe watch the movie on Sunday night and the commentary on Monday morning before I go to work perhaps! decisions, decisions lol

Wedding Crashers is cool because someone with my name stars in it lol it just sucks it wasn't me and me being me, I could be kinda crazy like her lmao I can play crazy! haha #lol# im not really crazy REALLY though... really... I think #hmm#

you dont often hear of anyone else called Isla outside of Scotland, apart from the odd one. I think Isla Fisher is about the only actress with my name I've ever heard of... weird facts lol oh well!
Re: Wedding Crashers
Post by leslee on Jan 26, 2008, 11:09am

I think Isla is a very beautiful name and it is rare I guess-but that's nice to have a name which is a little bit unique.My real name is Claudia and when I was in school we had at least 3 Claudias in class ;D

I doubt you are as crazy as Isla Fisher is in the movie >:(
But she is cool and very pretty...

I love Wedding Crashers I don't know how often I saw it.... :D
My fave scene is the one with Owen & Rachel McAdams on the beach.... #crazylove#

Thank you :) yeah I think in a way its nice to have a name that isn't too common... when I met Howie from BSB down in London and he asked my name, he totally pronounced it wrong and it embarrassed me, so I was like oh whatever, its a stupid name anyway because I was embarrassed - ahh *blah* stoopid lol :D I get embarrassed/annoyed when people pronounce it wrong, or at least I certainly used to anyway. Some people at work still call me by the wrong name, one lecturer calls me Iona! totally wrong lol another one called me ailsa then eventually was like 'am I saying your name right?' and I was like uh, no lol >:(

I don't know though, I can be kind of crazy in a way but in a silly fun way, not in a OMG she's totally romantically psycho crazy kind of a way - I hope not in that way anyway! :-X

Claudia is a nice name too :) btw sorry it took me a while to reply, I hadn't noticed you'd replied here lol *doh*

Oh yes, I hope too that they show up. That would be so cool if they did - and if they would wear the same suits they wore in Wedding Crashers. (Their presence at the wedding would probably inspire some photos for us!)

I know Isla will be a beautiful bride but, more importantly, I wish her and Sascha much happiness.

Hey, I remember Claudia Cardinale!
Modified to add: Claudia Cardinale would be best remembered in USA for her role in The Pink Panther and The Professionals.

Claudia was almost a common name when I was growing up in Michigan in the 50's - 70's. I knew a couple of Claudias at school. Now here in Texas, I rarely ever find that name. I've noticed names not only go in/out of fashion, they also seem to be regional. My first name is Sherrie which wasn't found that much in Michigan or now in Texas. But during the four years I lived in St. Louis, it was a common name: there were Sherrie's and Sherry's and Sherri's everywhere - especially in women around my age.

Whenever I hear Claudia, I think of Claudia Schiffer.

OMG, that pic on the otehr page of that little boy at the wedding - he really did look sooo much like Owen!!;) So cute. BTW, leslee- my fave scene is Owen and Rachel McAdams on the beach too.;) That and when they are on the yacht - he makes such a hot sailor in that striped shirt.

Aw, Leslee. The only famous Sherrie's I can think of at the moment: Sherry Lansing, former CEO of Paramount Pictures; Shari Lewis, the famous puppeteer (now deceased); and Cherie Blair, wife of the former British PM. They all are more attractive than I am.
;D

One thing I loved about Owen in Wedding Crashers is that he was wearing a suit so much in it. Next to swimwear, I love him in a suit. Heck, he'd look hot & sexy in a burlap bag!

Woman Sentenced After Dangerous Wedding Crashers Gag
September 16 2008
OWEN WILSON's film WEDDING CRASHERS has been blamed for inspiring a New York woman to poison her housemate by putting eye drops in his iced tea.

The prank is depicted in the 2005 comedy, where Wilson's character squirts the solution into a love rival's drink - causing a potentially fatal concoction that constricts blood vessels when ingested.

Kristine Anzalone, 25, was sentenced to three years' probation and ordered to pay her victim's medical expenses after pleading guilty to misdemeanour assault.

But Joseph Gentissi, the victim of the 2006 incident, is dissatisfied with the ruling.

He tells the New York Post: "It's not fair. This is a woman who tried to poison me. She should have been charged with attempted murder. We were hoping she was going to get a strong sentence. She took it as a big joke. She set out to hurt me and she sure did."

A spokesperson for Wilson could not be reached as WENN went to press.
Oh brother... #rolleyes#

Post by texasgal on Sept 17, 2008, 10:53pm

I was wondering if there would be such incidents - although I'd never researched the hazards of ingesting eye drops.

Owen & Vince were also taken to task by veterans groups who were offended by their having purple heart medals.

Finally saw this - favourite moment, Owen's reaction when he guesses that the bride is a crier and also the reading correctly. Very funny.. Not sure I love this movie, but I liked it - laughed a lot. Need to watch it a couple more times.

edit: oh and the "I love you" moment between Jeremy and John, which is so funny and SO cute!

Owen is as hot in a tux as he is in his birthday suit. :-/

(Course, not that we've ever had the pleasure of seeing the latter).

Other good Wedding Crasher moments:
* When Owen correctly guesses the gift and turns and says YESSS!
* When he looks up to see Jane Seymour topless.
* When he sees the widow crying at the funeral and nods his head when he "gets it."

Ah, there are so many....

Yeah, that's a lovely moment... absolutely real, sincere emotion which is slightly rare usually in this kind of film, and he plays it beautifully!

Speaking of which - the game of slaps on the beach has to be one of the most adorable scenes ever, Owen and Rachel M both absolutely hit that one on the nail. Love it 8-) so sweet.

The more I think about all these great scenes the more fondly I remember the movie - I need to watch it again when I'm more in the right mood... ;)
