So, I have a pretty long-winded theory that The Wedding Singer and Wedding Crashers, while both great, are basically the same movie. A thread...
The film’s protagonist; the simple but charismatic “nice guy.”
His crass, childish best friend.
The charming, innocent female lead, who the protagonist meets at a wedding
...who has an unfaithful yuppie douche for a fiancé
...and a sexually adventurous sister
...who happens to hit it off with the protagonist’s best friend.
Oh, and there are LOTS of wedding montages.
And an eccentric “outcast” character who we probably shouldn’t have been laughing at.
AND THIS LADY.
By the third act, the protagonist hits rock bottom and starts projecting his misery at other people’s weddings.
After the douche fiancé finds out about the protagonist’s feelings for the female lead, douche fiancé and his yuppie friends kick the shit out of the protagonist.
Female lead tearfully confides in loving parent about getting cold feet before marrying douche.
During the film’s climax, the protagonist interrupts the female lead’s wedding plans to confess his love for her just in the nick of time.
Douche fiancé is quickly and forcibly removed from the situation.
The happily-ever-after kiss.
Oh, and of course the best friend and sister end up together as well. End thread. Thank you and I completely understand if you’ve unfollowed me by this point.
