Without question, Wedding Crashers is the bust-a-gut funniest movie of the year. It’s not even close. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn provide so many laugh-out-loud lines, you'll have to see this twice to steal them all. The simple, yet inspired, premise is this: Two best friends crash weddings and use the sensitive-guy act to bag chicks. With Vaughn’s rat-a-tat line delivery and Wilson’s deadpan wit, these two display the kind of effortless chemistry that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes dream about. One highlight includes a perpetually horny Vaughn eyeing his next victim in church and whispering to his partner in slime, “That lady in the hat just eye-fucked the shit out of me.” Of course, this being a movie, their charade is complicated when the two become involved with bridesmaids (Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher) who also happen to be daughters of the powerful Treasury Secretary (underplayed by Christopher Walken). Wilson falls for an otherwise spoken-for Rachel while Vaughn can’t seem to ditch the fatally attracted Isla—whose ballgames under the table turn a formal family dinner into a stiffer affair than he can handle. At nearly two hours, some may quibble about its length, but this is still one wedding you need to crash.
