undefined

Product Description ------------------- Outrageous comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as two divorce mediators who share one truly unique springtime hobby - cing weddings. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy (Vaughn) learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken) and his wife Kathleen (Jane Seymour) is getting married in what is sure to be the social event of the year. Strictly adhering to their proven 'rules of wedding cing' to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage, the duo hit a snag when, having quickly set their s on bridesmaids Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) Cleary, John (Wilson) unexpectedly falls hard and fast for Claire. .co.uk Review ------------- The surprise comedy smash of 2005, Wedding Cers has a resolutely simple set up. You take Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, cast them as a pair of thirtysomethings who spend their weekends gatecing weddings, and put them in search of female company while they’re there. The clue really is in the title. Yet there are several elements that make the film a little bit special. First and foremost, there’s the cast. Vaughn and Wilson are clearly having a whale of a time here, and it’s on screen for all to see. Even in the moments where the script doesn’t quite measure up, the duo have the energy and presence to keep the film ticking over. It’s great too to see them backed up well by the likes of Jane Seymour and Christopher Walken, both of whom are on fine form here. The film is also not shy of significant belly laughs, with plenty of comedic moments of note to enjoy. Granted, you’d be hard-pushed to call it high brow comedy, but that’s missing the point. Wedding Cers is an accessible, highly entertaining way to spend a couple of hours, and has no pretensions otherwise. And that’s its strength. In short, good, funny, energetic entertainment, and it’s got y rewatch potential too.--Simon Brew
