Batman Begins [HD DVD]
ASIN: B000BKVQS4
Release Date: 2006-01-03 |
Amazon.com
With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff Shannon
On the DVD
The "Uncorked" edition of Wedding Crashers adds about 8 minutes of footage to the theatrical release. Of chief interest are extended beach and bathroom scenes between Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher, and Vaughn's extended confession to Father O'Neil (Henry Gibson), but there are also new scenes featuring Keir O'Donnell as the eccentric Todd and Ellen Albertini Dow as the potty-mouthed grandmother. This edition is billed as unrated because it wasn't resubmitted to the MPAA, but the sexier bathroom scene and coarser confession aren't particularly raunchier than the original film, and there's no additional nudity. You can watch the Uncorked edition once to see the new footage, but for subsequent viewings you'll probably choose to stick with the theatrical release, which is also included on the DVD.
Bonus features consist of two very good commentary tracks, one by director David Dobkin and another by Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Dobkin's is more technically informative, and he specifically discusses why the added scenes were originally cut. Vaughn and Wilson are a little more subdued than might be expected, but they share some laughs, recall some material that was left out, and wander into irrelevant territory such as football and Wilson's dog. Other features include four deleted scenes with optional commentary by Dobkin, and two featurettes covering the making of the film (including the logistics of staging five different weddings, and interviews with the "magic and balloon consultant") and Vaughn and Wilson's meandering discussion of "the rules" of wedding crashing. For a more organized recap, there's a 24-screen text-only list of all the rules. The opening menu is clever, but slow to load after you've watched it the first time. --David Horiuchi

Christopher Walken and Witty Dialogue Tainted By Juvenile Humor........2007-09-09
John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are lifelong friends and business partners who work as divorce mediators in Washington, D.C. They are fairly good at what they do and seem to enjoy what they do. The reason for this is that in the springtime they take off and travel around the country seeking weddings to crash. It doesn't matter the ethnicity or culture of the people involved, they have an identity for each one. Besides the free food and drinks, the reason the duo crashes these weddings is so that they can pick up women who have become sexually aroused by the weddings. It's one woman after another and a seemingly neverending party. That is until Jeremy convinces John to attend the wedding of the daughter of Treasure Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken). It's a lavish affair and John becomes smitten with Cleary's daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams) while Jeremy just wants to roll around in the hay with Cleary's daughter, Gloria (Isla Fisher). John and Jeremy are invited by the daughters back to the family estate for the weekend and John begs Jeremy to go so that he can try to get to know Claire better, even though she has a jerk boyfriend named Sack (Bradley Cooper). It's a weekend full of comic mishaps and misunderstandings that eventually leads to some sappy nonsense about love and relationships.
WEDDING CRASHERS features a lot of situational comedy and is seeped in innuendo. There's also some brief glimpses of nude women. All of that appeals heavily to adolescent males and helped make the movie one of the top grossing films of 2005, led it to be named as one of "The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time" in 2006 by Premiere magazine, and gave both Wilson and Vaughn's one of the biggest movies of their careers up to that point.
But that's really all just fluff. The main reasons to watch WEDDING CRASHERS is for the dialogue and to see Christopher Walken. Props to writers Steve Faber and Bob Fisher (as well as Olson and Vaughn who adlibbed some bits) for giving Jeremy and John such witty diatribe throughout the film. Whether it's about the virtues of not-dating, thoughtfully reflecting upon how to live a meaningful life, or a pontification about falling in love, WEDDING CRASHERS has some great dialogue to quote. As for the other reason to watch, it's Christopher Walken. We should watch anything that man does. Enough said.
I don't enjoy WEDDING CRASHERS as much as my brothers or some of my friends do. It has some funny moments and I can see why it is so popular. However, it's definitely not a movie for everyone. That's not to say that I didn't like it, because that's not true. I just don't think it's as funny as a lot of people think it is. Still, it's still a movie that any serious movie buff should see at least once. If nothing else, you'll at least have some great dialogue to bring up in conversations later.
The DVD includes two commentaries, one with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the other with director David Dobkin. Also included are deleted scenes, two featurettes "Event Planning" and "A Crash Course in Wedding Crashing", and a music video from The Sights called "Circus".
Laugh-out-loud hilarious.......2007-08-25
I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play John and Jeremy, best friends who crash weddings for fun in an attempt to get vulnerable girls into bed with them. All goes well until they attend the wedding of the daughter of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken). Jeremy unknowingly deflowers the Secretary's virginal/sex maniac daughter (Isla Fisher), while poor John falls in love with the Secretary's other daughter (Rachel McAdams), who unfortunately has an asinine boyfriend (Bradley Cooper). The film does lose a bit of momentum halfway through, but it still contains plenty of laughs. It was a little strange watching Wilson play the straight man for once, but he did an excellent job in his role. Vaughn is the real star of the show, though: His one-liners are hilarious, and the Jeremy/Gloria scenes made me laugh so hard that I cried. "Wedding Crashers" is a very funny film that is definitely worth watching.
"We're not *that* funny".......2007-08-24
The main problem with Wedding Crashers is that you know know exactly how it will land: nosediving through the frathouse humor, leveling off with the standard maladjusted characters coping with awkward situations, and gliding gently to rest on an unlikely happy ending. Without the element of surprise, the humor fizzles down to some admittedly very funny one-liners.
As another reviewer mentioned, tighter editing would have saved Wedding Crashers from itself. Too many repetitive scenes, from start to finish, attempt to fully flesh characters who are little more than National Lampoon stereotypes. Development paths of all the players are rather predictable; perhaps the only surprise is Christopher Walken as the consistently normal, loving father. And the script falls into one of the oldest traps: trying to pull a genre u-turn halfway through. In this case, vulgar comedy handbraking into heartfelt romance. For me, it didn't work.
Not that Owen Wilson (I swear I though he was Luke and his brother was Owen) doesn't pull off the transformation. He plays the lovelorn loser as well in the second half as he does the gluttonous playboy in the first. He's just asked to do it too often, in too many repetitive scenes. Vaughn has his moments and lines of course. But as usual he loses control too often and sinks a number of potentially funny scenes.
I enjoyed Wedding Crashers, and had more than a few good laughs. But I couldn't help feeling that I was watching a cobbled-together compilation of highlights from a number of other romantic comedies I've already seen too many times.
Great Situational Comedy.......2007-08-17
I must be one of the last people to get around to seeing Wedding Crashers but it was worth the wait. Wedding Crashers is the story of two brothers who crash weddings to get free food, drunk and laid. When they attempt the "crash of a lifetime" things go wrong and chaos ensues. I am not typically a fan of stupid movies in the vein of 'weatherman,' 'taladaga nights,' 'zoolander' etc but this stupid movie is actually funny. There are some great situational laughs and the story is solid and cohesive. Want a silly night of movie watching? Give 'Wedding Crashers' a shot!
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen!!!.......2007-08-15
Definitely a laugh out loud comedy! Probably one of the funniest ones of all time.

Development paths of all the players are rather predictable; perhaps the only surprise is Christopher Walken as the consistently normal, loving father. And the script falls into one of the oldest traps: trying to pull a genre u-turn halfway through. In this case, vulgar comedy handbraking into heartfelt romance. For me, it didn't work.
Not that Owen Wilson (I swear I though he was Luke and his brother was Owen) doesn't pull off the transformation. He plays the lovelorn loser as well in the second half as he does the gluttonous playboy in the first. He's just asked to do it too often, in too many repetitive scenes. Vaughn has his moments and lines of course. But as usual he loses control too often and sinks a number of potentially funny scenes.
I enjoyed Wedding Crashers, and had more than a few good laughs. But I couldn't help feeling that I was watching a cobbled-together compilation of highlights from a number of other romantic comedies I've already seen too many times.
Great Situational Comedy.......2007-08-17
I must be one of the last people to get around to seeing Wedding Crashers but it was worth the wait. Wedding Crashers is the story of two brothers who crash weddings to get free food, drunk and laid. When they attempt the "crash of a lifetime" things go wrong and chaos ensues. I am not typically a fan of stupid movies in the vein of 'weatherman,' 'taladaga nights,' 'zoolander' etc but this stupid movie is actually funny. There are some great situational laughs and the story is solid and cohesive. Want a silly night of movie watching? Give 'Wedding Crashers' a shot!
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen!!!.......2007-08-15
Definitely a laugh out loud comedy! Probably one of the funniest ones of all time.

With Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as a pair of brazen wedding crashers, this buddy/romantic comedy milks a few big laughs from its foolproof premise. Under the direction of David Dobkin (who previously worked with Wilson on Shanghai Knights), the movie ranges from bawdy romp to mushy romance, and that tonal identity crisis curtails the overall hilarity. But when the well-teamed costars are firing on all pistons with fast-paced dialogue and manic situations, belly laughs are delivered at a steady clip. Things get complicated when the guys infiltrate the family of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken), resulting in a romantic pair-off between Vaughn and the congressman's oversexed daughter Gloria (Isla Fisher) while Wilson sincerely woos another daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams), who's unhappily engaged to an Ivy League cheater (Bradley Cooper). Walken is more or less wasted in his role, but Jane Seymour and Henry Gibson make amusing appearances, and a surprise guest arrives late in the game for some over-the-top scene-stealing. It's all a bit uneven, but McAdams (considered by some to be "the next Julia Roberts") is a pure delight, and with enough laughs to make it easily recommended, Wedding Crashers will likely find its place on DVD shelves alongside other flawed but enjoyable R-rated comedies that embrace a naughtier, nastier brand of humor with no need for apologies. --Jeff Shannon

Christopher Walken and Witty Dialogue Tainted By Juvenile Humor........2007-09-09
John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are lifelong friends and business partners who work as divorce mediators in Washington, D.C. They are fairly good at what they do and seem to enjoy what they do. The reason for this is that in the springtime they take off and travel around the country seeking weddings to crash. It doesn't matter the ethnicity or culture of the people involved, they have an identity for each one. Besides the free food and drinks, the reason the duo crashes these weddings is so that they can pick up women who have become sexually aroused by the weddings. It's one woman after another and a seemingly neverending party. That is until Jeremy convinces John to attend the wedding of the daughter of Treasure Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken). It's a lavish affair and John becomes smitten with Cleary's daughter, Claire (Rachel McAdams) while Jeremy just wants to roll around in the hay with Cleary's daughter, Gloria (Isla Fisher). John and Jeremy are invited by the daughters back to the family estate for the weekend and John begs Jeremy to go so that he can try to get to know Claire better, even though she has a jerk boyfriend named Sack (Bradley Cooper). It's a weekend full of comic mishaps and misunderstandings that eventually leads to some sappy nonsense about love and relationships.
WEDDING CRASHERS features a lot of situational comedy and is seeped in innuendo. There's also some brief glimpses of nude women. All of that appeals heavily to adolescent males and helped make the movie one of the top grossing films of 2005, led it to be named as one of "The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time" in 2006 by Premiere magazine, and gave both Wilson and Vaughn's one of the biggest movies of their careers up to that point.
But that's really all just fluff. The main reasons to watch WEDDING CRASHERS is for the dialogue and to see Christopher Walken. Props to writers Steve Faber and Bob Fisher (as well as Olson and Vaughn who adlibbed some bits) for giving Jeremy and John such witty diatribe throughout the film. Whether it's about the virtues of not-dating, thoughtfully reflecting upon how to live a meaningful life, or a pontification about falling in love, WEDDING CRASHERS has some great dialogue to quote. As for the other reason to watch, it's Christopher Walken. We should watch anything that man does. Enough said.
I don't enjoy WEDDING CRASHERS as much as my brothers or some of my friends do. It has some funny moments and I can see why it is so popular. However, it's definitely not a movie for everyone. That's not to say that I didn't like it, because that's not true. I just don't think it's as funny as a lot of people think it is. Still, it's still a movie that any serious movie buff should see at least once. If nothing else, you'll at least have some great dialogue to bring up in conversations later.
The DVD includes two commentaries, one with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the other with director David Dobkin. Also included are deleted scenes, two featurettes "Event Planning" and "A Crash Course in Wedding Crashing", and a music video from The Sights called "Circus".
Laugh-out-loud hilarious.......2007-08-25
I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play John and Jeremy, best friends who crash weddings for fun in an attempt to get vulnerable girls into bed with them. All goes well until they attend the wedding of the daughter of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken). Jeremy unknowingly deflowers the Secretary's virginal/sex maniac daughter (Isla Fisher), while poor John falls in love with the Secretary's other daughter (Rachel McAdams), who unfortunately has an asinine boyfriend (Bradley Cooper). The film does lose a bit of momentum halfway through, but it still contains plenty of laughs. It was a little strange watching Wilson play the straight man for once, but he did an excellent job in his role. Vaughn is the real star of the show, though: His one-liners are hilarious, and the Jeremy/Gloria scenes made me laugh so hard that I cried. "Wedding Crashers" is a very funny film that is definitely worth watching.
"We're not *that* funny".......2007-08-24
The main problem with Wedding Crashers is that you know know exactly how it will land: nosediving through the frathouse humor, leveling off with the standard maladjusted characters coping with awkward situations, and gliding gently to rest on an unlikely happy ending. Without the element of surprise, the humor fizzles down to some admittedly very funny one-liners.
As another reviewer mentioned, tighter editing would have saved Wedding Crashers from itself. Too many repetitive scenes, from start to finish, attempt to fully flesh characters who are little more than National Lampoon stereotypes. Development paths of all the players are rather predictable; perhaps the only surprise is Christopher Walken as the consistently normal, loving father. And the script falls into one of the oldest traps: trying to pull a genre u-turn halfway through. In this case, vulgar comedy handbraking into heartfelt romance. For me, it didn't work.

Stinks Like a Fat Guy in the Summertime.......2005-12-27
This movie uses parallel plots to tell the story of a group of girls looking to hold up a party and a couple of guys looking for women. Both plots are flat.
There's a few moments of funny dialog, as the characters verbally spar and slam eachother. After this schtick wears thin, there's no much left to the title.
The audio quality is miserable; the mix is inconsistent, most of the dialogue is muffled, and the noise level is intrusive, and the music is poorly balanced. The video quality isn't any better; the film is grainy and the camera work leaves plenty of room for improvement.
