Line 4:
Bachelors and lifelong best friends, John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are partners at a law firm in Washington D.C. who frequently "crash" wedding parties to meet women; working from a set of rules taught to them by a past "crasher", the duo always have cover stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception -- all so they can charm their way into bed with ladies at the wedding for a one night stand.
 
After a sequence of successful "crashes," Jeremy spots the wedding of the daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury William Cleary ([[Christopher Walken]]) and his wife, Kathleen. After infiltrating the lavish event as brothers, John and Jeremy set their sights on two bridesmaids, also daughters of Secretary Cleary: Claire ([[Rachel McAdams]]) and Gloria Cleary ([[Isla Fisher]]). This 2005 film is the very definition of...[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|you know.]]
 
(For the otherwise unrelated trope formerly named after this movie, see [[Wedding Smashers]].)
Line 20:
** Also John McCain [[As Himself]].
** Same with James Carville.
* [[Casting Gag]]: [[Christopher Walken]] and Jane Seymour were the Bond villain and Bond girl from Roger Moore's [[A View to Aa Kill (Film)|last]] and [[Live and Let Die (Filmfilm)|first]] [[James Bond (Filmfilm)|James Bond]] films, respectively.
* [[Depraved Homosexual]]: Todd.
* [[Disposable Fiance]]: The [[Evil All Along]] category. A better use of the trope than in some other romantic comedies, in that while Sack is a [[Jerkass]], he is also charming and charismatic enough that it isn't a complete mystery that Claire is dating him in the first place.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]] : ''Gloria ties Jeremy to the bed and forces herself on him.'' The morning after, he tells John that he "...felt like [[Jodie Foster]] in ''[[The Accused (Film)|The Accused]]''. He ultimately [[Rape Is Love|falls in love and marries her.]]
* [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)]]: Immediately after the incident above, Gloria's gay brother attempts to force himself on the still-restrained Jeremy.
* [[Fanservice Extra]]: The absurdly beautiful Diora Baird and all the other actresses that flop down on beds with Vince and Owen in the sex montage.
** Isla Fisher's body double. That scene is also an example of [[Black Comedy Rape]].
Line 48:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Sack Lodge
* [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace]]: John does this.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Gloria.
** John even more blatantly.
* [[Testing the Love Interest]]: Claire does this later in the film.
