Wedding Crashers is a 2005 comedy film, directed by David Dobkin. The film stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

Wilson and Vaughn play two men who "crash" wedding parties to meet women. Their freewheeling fun ends when Wilson's character falls in love with a bridesmaid (Rachel McAdams), who happens to be the daughter of the U.S. Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken). The film is also another entry in the frat pack series of movies that feature some combination of Jack Black, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Owen Wilson.

The film was written by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher and was produced through New Line Cinema. With filming on location in Washington, D.C. and Maryland's Eastern Shore, it was released in the United States on July 15, 2005.

The movie was released in mid-July 2005 and became an immediate hit, grossing $33 million in its first weekend. It was also very well received by critics, who admired the natural chemistry between Wilson and Vaughn, comparing them in some instances to Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
(the comparisons might have been inspired by the very similar carefree bike-riding scenes found in both movies). The film also had extremely long legs, grossing over $209 million. This is quite a feat, considering most movies that made around $33 million in their opening weekend only managed about $100 million in the 2005 year. The astounding level of success was not expected by the studio considering its modest budget ($40 million) and competition with heavily advertised blockbusters during the summer season. The film has also been credited along with The 40-Year-Old Virgin
to have popularized adult-aimed R-rated comedies again.

Plot

Cast

Owen Wilson
as John Beckwith - One half of the inseparable wedding crasher duo. John is a bachelor attorney riding high on his success with Jeremy, but unlike his friend, seems to be developing a conscience when taking advantage of the women. But things change when he falls for Claire.
Vince Vaughn
as Jeremy Grey - The other half of the wedding crasher duo, and the one who does all the leg work. A wisecracking buddy from an early start, he also remains a very loyal friend to John, even sticking it out over one tumultous weekend with psychotic Gloria.
Rachel McAdams
as Claire Cleary - The daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury. A sweet girl and full time environmental activist. Claire doesn't fall easily for cliche and even laughs at it.
Bradley Cooper
as Sack Lodge - Claire's testosterone-fueled boyfriend who clearly assaults people but is always dismissed as harmless. Threatened by John and Jeremy, he's a cheating louse who treats Claire with great disrespect.
Isla Fisher
as Gloria Cleary - Claire's mentally unstable, sexually adventurous sister who claims Jeremy as the one she lost her virginity to, much to Jeremy's fear whom he calls "a stage five clinger".
Christopher Walken
as Treasury Secretary William Cleary - A sailing fan and the wise, loving father of his daughters and a generally affable man. Is considered a forerunner for the U.S. Presidency. Can see through a facade.
Jane Seymour
as Kathleen Cleary - The breast-implanted mother of the daughters and a woman with an unusual sexual attitude. Comes onto John at a few points.
Keir O'Donnell
as Todd Cleary - The closeted, emo son of William. He's a talented but angry artist who is clearly weird. Convinced Jeremy "had a moment" with him at the dinner table, attempts to seduce a frightened (and tied up) Jeremy.
Will Ferrell
as Chazz Reingold - The wise man who imbued all the wedding crashing rules to his proteges Jeremy and John. He's a middle aged lothario who lives with his mother, and has found an unlikely success in meeting girls by crashing funerals.
John McCain as himself (cameo)
