I like this movie for the same reason I like any movie that puts together any combination of the Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn/Ben Stiller team -- their comic timing is perfect and they play off each other very well. You stick them in different situations (this time Wilson and Vaughn as, well... wedding crashers) and let them do their thing.
It's a formula that works, and these movies are just fun to watch. After a montage of the pair crashing weddings and bangin' a bunch of vulnerable hot chicks, we get to the turning point of the movie that brings Rachel McAdams onto the screen.
Y'know, after that I couldn't tell you if the rest of the movie was good or bad, because I became totally enamored with Rachel McAdams.
I'm not saying she's Jessica Alba hot, but she's definitely GOOD ACTRESS hot. She has this charm and charisma on the screen that a lot of bad actresses try to force with their head tilts and flatly delivered lines.
Rob Schneider knew what was up when he swapped bodies with her in The Hot Chick, the Plastics were smart to make her their leader in Mean Girls, and I've never seen The Notebook but I bet it was filled with little sketches and doodles of Rachel McAdams.
So in conclusion--come for the Wilson & Vaughn, but stay for the McAdams.
