Plot Outline: The thirty and something years old bachelor partners and best friends divorce mediators John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey have a hobby of crashing weddings following predetermined rules to have one night stand with different women. When they decide to crash the most important wedding of Washington pretending they are brothers, in a party promoted by the Secretary of Treasury William Cleary, John breaks their rules and has a crush on Claire Cleary and Jeremy scores the sex-addicted Gloria Cleary, both daughters of William. Gloria invites Jeremy to spend the weekend at the Cleary family estate, and John sees the chance to be close to Claire, in spite of her engagement with the arrogant Zachary “Sack” Lodge. Along the weekend with the dysfunctional Cleary family, John and Jeremy will fall in love for the sisters, but their real identities jeopardize the relationship.

Quotes from Rachel
“I was just interested in working with these guys and after having met the director in the audition, I knew that we had worked up a really good rapport immediately. With this one I thought: this is an opportunity to work with people who are the best of the best right now, in terms of this kind of genre and I hadn’t done an adult comedy and I wanted to try it.”
-On why she got involved (Dark Horizons)
“It went really well, but that’s happened before, and then you hear nothing. So, you can’t really judge by being in the room. I felt good, and I felt like we had a great rapport, him and I, and he directed me, which is always nice. It was fun! It felt easy, and I hoped it would work.”
-On her audition (Collider)
“I was so intimidated at first he’s so smooth and so good at what he does. He’s such a present person. When you’re acting and in a scene with him he’s right there, and that’s nice.”
-On working with Christopher Walken (The Cinema Source)
Quotes from Cast & Crew
“She hates being compared, but I often said to her, ‘You can be Meryl Streep. You can be Sigourney Weaver or Julia Roberts. I believe she can make almost anything that you ask her to do.”
-David Dobkin, director (LA Daily News)
“She’s so wholesome, but she’s also got some fun, truly girlish streaks. When she’s giggling in church (at the corny vows uttered by her sister) and not being someone you hate – that’s a hard scene to pull off.”
-David Dobkin, director (LA Daily News)
“She’s so great. God she’s so good and I think she a genius actually. I feel like I am obsessed? Maybe I should tone it down a little? ”
-Bradley Cooper, co-star (MTV Interview)
“I loved working with Rachel. I wasn’t really aware of who she was. Before the movie started, I hadn’t seen ‘Mean Girls’ and it was during filming that we had a screening of ‘The Notebook.’ I was kind of blown away because I had already seen in ‘Wedding Crashers’ how she could be funny and very charming, but that was like a very powerful emotional role that she played. And to me she has like such a great face. It could be like be from a 1950’s movie star. It’s very open. She’s very polite. She’s Canadian and that’s always nice.”
-Owen Wilson, co-star (About)
Critical Reception
“Ms. McAdams, who grows more appealing with every new role, makes the most of her underdeveloped character, Claire, the goody-two-shoes daughter of a powerful politician.”
-Manohla Dargis (New York Times)
“Rachel McAdams, a highlight of last year’s Mean Girls, sparkles as Wilson’s wake-up-call wondergirl. Vivacious, vulnerable and knowing enough to keep the story chugging through the cheesier moments.”
-Unknown (Total Film)
