Too long and drawn out.
8 May 2006
If you are a born-again Christian, then it's not a good movie to see as, as in the Prime movie, the name of our Lord is taken in vain too many times, spoiling the movie. I don't know what problems these Jewish directors have and if this is intentional or what.

That being said, I've watched this movie a few times, as the DVD has commentary features with the director, and with the two actors, which helped me to understand the movie a bit more. I thought it a bit on the boring side, it's long, drawn out, and not at the very least funny.

It has some eye-candy and flesh scenes in it, in the beginning, and attractive actresses if you dig it, but, it was not that much of a funny film.

However, the premise, of Crashing Weddings, or Funerals to pick up girls, is what compelled me to rent the movie, and to give it a serious look. The idea of crashing weddings is also seen on 'askmen' website, where it goes into further dealing. Conceptually, it's brilliant, but it still seemed too phoney.

The director claims to have gone at lenghts to make this movie believable and not lose the audience, and I think it's sort of strained by using high-profile actors. However, on the other hand, the improvisions, and contributions to the actors to the movie, were superb, but come on - if famous Hollywood actors crashed a normal wedding - is that going to be believable? Honestly, Hollywood Actor such as Owen and Vince will have no problems picking up girls at weddings, funerals, or on a street corner, I wish I had their problem. Looking at them just makes me feel worst about my own luck picking up girls.
