The big 'surprise' hit this summer is the R-rated comedy The Wedding Crashers, about a pair buddies Jeremy Grey and John Beckwith (Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson), who have a generic friendship -- co-workers with steady jobs, hanging out together -- except when it comes to WEDDING season . Every single chance they get, these two fraud their ways into the bedrooms of various women that they've met at weddings to two have crashed. They have rules they've made up for each other and live by them, such as never leave another crasher solo, and avoid virgins (they're clingy).

In the off season, the guys come upon the ideal wedding to crash. Christopher Walken plays Secretary Cleary, who's daughter about to be hitched. The guys scope out the family details, history, etc , and arrive to impress as John and Jeremy Ryan - 'two brothers from New Hampshire'. While at the church ceremony, they sit and chat with the relatives, and decide which girls they want. By the time they arrive at the reception, John has his eye on Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams), and Jeremy is working the balloon animals for the kids, to get Gloria Cleary (Isla Fisher). Unbeknownst to the guys, Claire has a steady (overbearing) boyfriend, and Gloria is ... well, simply insane.

Thankfully in the end they all get together, despite insanity and engagements, and the movie ends on a happy note. But throughout it seems that the script tries too hard to make you laugh at physical humor, harsh language, crudness, and the unwanted advancements from the kooky Clearys which go absolutely nowhere (including a very ridiculous gay brother being fond of Jeremy, and Mrs. Cleary, Jane Seymour, wanting John to 'touch' her). I constantly found myself laughing at things and thinking "Was that even necessary??".

Around the 90 minute mark, the movie loses it's composure, and has NO IDEA how to move forward. How do we get to that cutesy satisfying end ? Throw in a cameo, and have one of the leads lose all hope to getting with his girl. Of course the movie is crude - it's rated R. But it's a kind of forced humor that easily could have been cleaned up and felt less desperate to achieve the maturity it so wants to exude, despite the shallow motives of John and Jeremy.
