Plot
"Wedding Crashers" is a 2005 American romantic comedy film directed by David Dobkin, starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, respectively. The film follows the two divorce mediators who crash weddings under false identities to meet and seduce women.
The film opens with a montage of John and Jeremy crashing five weddings of varying religious denominations, setting the stage for their enthusiasm for wedding crashing. They do this not just for the free food and drinks, but also because they enjoy being part of the celebration and meeting new people. When the US Secretary of the Treasury, William Cleary, announces the wedding of his daughter, the pair make it their mission to crash the high-profile event.
However, their plans take an unexpected turn when John falls for Claire Cleary, the bridesmaid and daughter of Secretary Cleary. Meanwhile, Jeremy becomes the object of desire for Gloria, Claire's sister. John and Jeremy are invited to a private party at the Secretary's house, where John gets to know Claire better and Jeremy tries to navigate the advances of Gloria. Things get even more complicated when John discovers that Claire is engaged to Sack, an Ivy League cheater.
As the film progresses, John's feelings for Claire become stronger, leading him to profess his love for her during her wedding to Sack. Claire reciprocates, and she calls off the wedding. In the end, the two couples drive away from the ceremony together, discussing crashing another wedding.
