This was on Film Four last night, and with nothing better on I thought I'd give it a chance. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn star as a pair of 'wedding crashers' ( they go to random weddings and try to attract bridesmaids etc) who get more than they bargained for after going to the nuptials of a US Senator's daughter.

They have a set of ground rules which are swiftly broken after one falls in love with a sister of the bride, while the other at first tries to fend off the attentions of the other younger sister. It takes a while to really get going but when it does it's quite funny.

Most of the gags are a bit cliched or childish but its still enjoyable, particularly if you're a fan of the likes of Owen Wilson. Be warned though- the ending is sickly sweet!

Also look out for Will Ferrell in an amusing short cameo.

Yep I really enjoyed this film too Morphy... I really like both Vaughan and Wilson and thought they worked very well off one another. Who I also thought was great in the movie was Isla Fisher who plays the kind of fruitcake obsessive clingy girlfriend and she really does play it extremely well

Would have liked to have seen more of Jane Seymour though...erm... literally
