As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that “Wedding Crashers” remains one of those timeless comedies that never fails to tickle my funny bone. The raunchy humor of the 2000s, epitomized by the unforgettable duo Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, continues to leave me in stitches.
15 years have passed since “Wedding Crashers” graced our screens, but its comedic charm remains undiminished. The film’s unique blend of raunchy humor, which was all the rage in the early 2000s, continues to entertain us, with memorable lines delivered by stars like Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. While some aspects of the movie might seem outdated by 2024 standards, Vaughn’s comedic style remains timeless. Even Bradley Cooper, famously known as “Maestro,” has praised Vaughn for his exceptional talent, particularly in their shared film, “Wedding Crashers.” Recently, Vaughn has been sharing insights into his comedy approach and the reasons behind its success in the 2005 hit.
Recently, Vaughn took part in an interview on Hot Ones with host Sean Evans, during which they discussed Cooper’s appreciation for another actor. In the conversation, Evans asked Vaughn about his method and mindset when it comes to comedic performance. As a star of Swingers, Vaughn emphasized that the humor in the movie stems from total dedication, and approaching absurd situations with genuine sincerity and importance. This is also crucial for improvisation, which he likened to a dialogue, explaining that it’s similar to having a natural conversation.
As a gamer, I believe that being fully invested and all-in is crucial, especially when it comes to comedy, as it demands an intense commitment to the absurd. So, if a situation feels strange or out of the ordinary, I immerse myself completely, treating it as if it’s the most significant thing happening. It’s like improvising in a game, where you listen closely and respond honestly to the unfolding events, as each interaction is unique. Just like playing [Hot Ones], every conversation isn’t the same, and the impact of the wings on any given day can vary significantly.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but appreciate Vince Vaughn’s unique take on “Wedding Crashers.” The breakfast scene with his character Jeremy, after an outrageous night, stands out to me. When he shares his wild experiences with John (played by Owen Wilson), Vaughn delivers it all so seriously, even though the situation is absurd, making it even more hilarious. It’s one of the best scenes in the movie for me, and learning about Vaughn’s thought process behind “Wedding Crashers” only deepens my admiration for the film.
Vaughn’s persistence in requesting more takes, even after mastering a comical scene, particularly caught Cooper’s attention. This was because Vaughn was not afraid to falter, even when he got everything correct. Vaughn shared that this aspect of the acting process was what he cherished most, and he found repetition an exhilarating means of fostering creativity. In his own words:
Since you need to be present to honestly react to everything that unfolds, it’s thrilling to immerse yourself in the experience should you get another opportunity to perform a scene where many events are happening simultaneously.
This is such sound advice, and a great way to encourage actors to put ego aside when they approach a scene. The best comedic moments come from trial and error, especially when actors surprise their scene partner with a previously unwritten joke or delivery. It also helps to have a co-star like Owen Wilson, who can seamlessly adapt to anything thrown at him in the moment, and make it even funnier. It makes me miss seeing these two on screen together. There were rumblings in the past about a Wedding Crashers 2, but no news as of recent. Nevertheless, I’d still love to see the duo reunite on the big screen again, and maybe even bring Bradley Cooper along for the ride.
Enthusiasts can once again enjoy Vince Vaughn’s humorous skills in the movie “Wedding Crashers” by renting it via Amazon. Additionally, you can catch the actor in his new venture, the drama series titled “Bad Monkey,” which will be available to stream starting August 14, 2024, with an AppleTV+ subscription.
