Wedding Crashers
Stream
Rent & Buy
John and his buddy Jeremy are emotional criminals who know how to use a woman's hopes and dreams for their own carnal gain. Their modus operandi: crashing weddings. Normally, they meet guests who want to toast the romantic day with a random hook-up. But when John meets Claire, he discovers what true love – and heartache – feels like.
What critics thought
Wedding Crashers landed as a crowd-pleasing summer comedy built on the chemistry between its two leads, though critics were genuinely divided over whether the film earns its romantic third act or collapses into formula — and a later reassessment has sharpened questions about its treatment of women, gay characters, and racial stereotypes that many original reviewers let pass.
“It's crude, yes, but also funny; too bad these lost boys can't stay lost. Like clockwork, the film soon mutates from a guy-oriented sex comedy into a wish-fulfillment chick flick”
Manohla Dargis·The New York Times
“While neither a full-throated R-rated romp a la There's Something About Mary nor a fully realized romantic comedy, Wedding Crashers contains enough appealing elements of both to catch the bouquet in what's been a relatively humor-deprived summer”
Brian Lowry·Variety
“The laidback stars are funny and sweet, but they're let down by a patchy script which squanders some potentially priceless set-ups.”
Empire
“A stiff drink or maybe some pharmaceutical assistance might have made me overlook the film's sour tone or the unremarkableness of its direction.”
Kimberley Jones·The Austin Chronicle
“There's something about Vaughn—the deadpan eyes; the sublimated, misdirected intelligence—that recalls Bill Murray in his 'Caddyshack' years.”
Carina Chocano·Los Angeles Times
