The Wedding Crashers，一出有血有肉的爱情喜剧。婚礼总是讨巧的喜剧或浪漫题材，Four Weddings And A Funeral、My Best Friend's Wedding、My Big Fat Greek Wedding、The Wedding Singer等等。每一部喜剧都有自己的特点，有的喜得无厘头，有的喜得意味深长，有的喜得天衣无缝。那么这部The Wedding Crashers，介于三者之间。粗口、低俗笑话、裸露必不可少，喜剧早已从卓别林式转变为American Pie式，不过该片不像前者那么瞎搞，毕竟两名主角的身份是律师而非高中学生。非常喜欢开头。Owen Wilson和Vince Vaughn扮演的律师John和Jeremy，让一对前来办理离婚财产协议并且争吵不断的夫妇回想约会时的美好，而这些美好回忆只是为了让他们可以心平气和地离婚。John和Jeremy都不相信爱情。特别是Jeremy的那段解释为何他不要relationship的台词，拗口、绝妙。It's very difficult trying to read the situation，恐怕说出了不少人的心声。I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair. 之后一段两人恶闯他人婚礼的片段，变幻交叉的画面仿佛幻灯片，节奏快速也符合婚礼的欢快气氛，并且意喻两人快进快出，参加完婚礼搞定某个女人后就从此消失。影片同时也不乏优美镜头，在John和Claire不知不觉相恋时，用俯视的近景镜头来拍摄他们各自夜不能眠，处理得很好。而财政部长Cleary一家的古怪在令人捧腹之余，也可以算是美国社会各种问题的缩影。神经质的同性恋艺术家儿子Todd、暴力到歇斯底里的未婚夫Zack、性生活无法得到满足的母亲Kathleen、40岁还和和母亲同住的Crasher高手Chazz等等，总之，都很变态。财政部长、父亲William的扮演者Christopher Walken，把部长的严肃、政治家的心机、父亲对于女儿的关怀都表现出来了。此前他曾参演过Catch Me If You Can、Sleepy Hollow、Batman Returns、Pulp Fiction等很多影片，演技不容小觑。配乐很好，而为讨女生欢心在婚礼上为小孩子做气球玩具、和小孩子一起跳交谊舞这样的桥段，也不失温馨。沙滩、碧海、豪屋，一切浪漫欢喜的元素都齐备。爱情、友情、亲情的情节架构，也都恰如其分，温和演绎。So, relax yourself and crash the movie!
