Wedding Crashers
2005 · Directed by David Dobkin
Two D.C. mediators crash weddings as a hobby. They get sloppy at one and have to live with the consequences. The horniest summer comedy of its era.
Why It's Cult
Wedding Crashers is the apex of the Vince Vaughn / Owen Wilson buddy era — verbal speed-running matched against full-commitment turns from Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, and a feral Isla Fisher. The rules of crashing. The motorboat. "She's a stage-five clinger." A movie quoted at every wedding for the last twenty years. Mainstream cult — the film everyone's seen, and still wants to rewatch.
The Plot, Officially
Two friends, John (played by Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vince Vaughn), crash weddings to pick up women. One day they crash the wedding of the daughter of the Treasury Secretary, Secretary Cleary (Christopher Walken). Instead of short-term flings they end up being invited to the Clearys' island estate, and potentially meet the loves of their lives...
