Plot Outline:

Divorce mediators John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey are business partners and lifelong friends who share one truly unique springtime hobby--crashing weddings! Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party--Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu--the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven "rules of wedding crashing" to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary and his wife, Kathleen, is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington D.C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on two bridesmaids, Claire and Gloria Cleary. With the lavish reception in full swing, Jeremy works his game plan to perfection in seducing Gloria, but John's flirtation banter with Claire is unexpectedly impeded by her pompous, Ivy League boyfriend Sack. Having uncharacteristically fallen hard and fast for Claire, John convinces a resistant Jeremy to bend the crashing rules and accept an invitation to an extended weekend party at the Cleary family compound. Once at the palatial waterfront estate, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but also learn a few unexpected lessons about love and relationships.

Quotes from Isla Fisher

• "Sure, she's young and impressionable – and he's a real ladies man who woos her. Gloria is swept off her feet and becomes very much a woman obsessed... She's a bit like a spoiled kid with a new toy who just wants to snap its head off!"
• "She is crazy. She's on mood enhancers and Jeremy is crazy, too. I mean, she's crazy in the sense that she's eccentric. And that's why they're the perfect match."
• "She's this girl in heat who has no etiquette or ability to control herself. I just kept trying to turn it up an extra notch, and I think it paid off."
• "Actually, the first scene that I had to do was the scene where Gloria tells Jeremy that she loves him and that she's a virgin and I chose to kind of cry in it. And I remember thinking that that was a strong choice and let's hope that the director doesn't think that it's too much because that could've cost me the job. But luckily he laughed when I did it. But I didn't end up doing it in the film, actually."
• "During Wedding Crashers, I had a lot of women come up to me and say, "Your character in that movie is exactly the same as me. It's so good to see it.' And, I was like, 'Okay!' That was the only thing that was interesting to me - how many women really related to Gloria. When I was reading Gloria, she was so absurdly mad, it was amazingly funny. That's where all the comedy came from. So, to meet people who proudly owned those characteristics was definitely amusing."
