Trivia:

When confessing to the priest (Henry Gibson), Jeremy mentions that he had an imaginary friend named "Shiloh". This is apparently a reference to the Neil Diamond song "Shiloh", also about an imaginary friend.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Jeremy calls John into his office to first inform him that the wedding season has began, John squeezes and throws the cup of water in his hand. There is water on the back of the chair John is sitting on, but in the next shot, the water is gone.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Mr. Kroeger: I don't have custody of the kids.
Mrs. Kroeger: You know what?
Mr. Kroeger: I don't get custody.
Mrs. Kroeger: It is an insane pathetic joke, what I've had to go through.
Mr. Kroeger: Right now, right now, she doesn't know where the kids are, do you?
Mrs. Kroeger: Do not talk about me as a mother.

Crashers rock!

Movie lives through Vaughn and Wilson. Both show an easy performance and want the audience to just simply have a good time.

The Story is nothing spectacular. If you liked "Meet the Fockers", you're gonna like this one as well.

Its the actors, who make the difference. Vaughn is hilarious and proofs, that he's much better in comedies than in "serious" movies. Wilson plays himself (as in every one of his movies) and scores a good 2nd place.

Walken is just Walken and thats worth half the ticket. The girls are gorgeous. Especially Rachel McAdams knocked me out. Holy Cow! The Crashers are good fun. Not an new invention of the genre, but especially because of the actors, this movie rocks!
