Wedding Crashers

Dig this: two unlikeable and aging leads who crash weddings just to get laid. They have been so good at it that they become the life of the party. Then, they crashed their biggest wedding to date. One suddenly fell in love with one of the bride's sisters and tries his best to pursue her despite of her boyfriend. The other one slept with the youngest sister who happens to be a sicko. They met the family: a father who is running for an office in the government, a sexually agressive mother, a grandmother who says the most inappropriate words every time, and a misunderstood and outcasted homosexual younger brother.

When the family started to like them, the jealous and two-faced boyfriend of the only "sane" sibling tries to investigate their background. Upon learning about it, the family hated them but they eventually became part of it in the end.

Wedding Crashers has stereotypical and two-dimensional characters. Almost comic-like. The jokes are racy and mostly cliches. Plot is predictable. However, despite its flaws, the movie works! It is laugh-out loud funny! Leave your brain at home and just enjoy the film's wackiness. Anyway, it didn't disguise itself as an intellectual comedy, right?

Too bad, though, that Jane Seymour's seduction scene with Owen Wilson was cut out of the film! It became as if she was just merely a decoration in the film! Why did they have to take out the scene when it was already rated as R-18? MTRCB talaga, oo!

Oh yeah, I remember! We saw it in Megamall. And Megamall has a policy of "no sex" in their movies, right? So could it be that it's the management of SM who cut the scene out and not MTRCB? Could the scene in question be intact in other theaters?

Cliched movies are so stale, and I'm not gonna go see Must Like Dogs because of that. This summer seems there were a lot of remakes too.

In the Philippines, music (past hits) is the one being re-made over and over again! :p So many versions of one particular song! Ugh!
