The Wedding Crashers

Two guys find out the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends who work for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has given them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing a different wedding reception, where they load up on free food and booze and try their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling head over heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very hot water.

Wedding Crashers Tops the Charts (from The Hollywood Reporter): Box office hit Wedding Crashers rose to the top of both the DVD sales and rental charts its first week out, says The Hollywood Reporter. Three of the top five DVD sellers on VideoScan's First Alert chart in the week ended Jan 8. were R-rated comedies: The 40-Year-Old Virgin held at No. 2 after nearly a month in stores; and last week's champ, the direct-to-video sequel American Pie Presents: Band Camp fell to No. 5. Two other new releases made impressive debuts on the sales chart: The Gospel at No. 3 and the horror film The Cave at No. 4. On trade publication Home Media Retailing's video rental chart for the week ending January 8, Wedding Crashers generated an estimated $12.11 million in rental revenue, more than double second-ranked Four Brothers, the previous week's top renter.
