Two guys from the N.Y. Post tried it out ( so they could report about it all ) and were almost always thrown out on their ear!
The thing is, when a wedding is run correctly, NO singles, who aren't engaged, or about to be, are allowed to bring a date.
Tables are set with place cards, there are NO extra/empty seats at the wedding breakfast/tea/dinner, so crashers can't stay without being caught.
I saw a few clips from this UNFUNNY movie and there is no way that they could do some of the things they did, without being caught and summarily tossed out on their rears.

Really? With permission, I would think it would be okay, correct?
I think it's a disgusting concept of a movie. Besides it looks terrible. Almost as bad as Gigli.
That's because they have no Game, and didn't follow the rules.
I bet you had a cash bar at your wedding too.
You are talking about the reception? All this has nothing to do with the wedding.
Exactly. If you're not invited by name, you don't attend, in my family.

After thirteen years as a wedding professional... I hate to tell you that you are dead wrong on all accounts. The type of wedding you describe largely went out of vogue with the Edsel. Wedding crashing is more than just possible, and women FREQUENTLY bring the 'um-friend' to a wedding.
I agree.
It is OBVIOUS to anyone marginally involved with a wedding that there is no wiggle room for a crasher. You pay per person, seating charts are arranged in advanced, even a last minute additions have place cards.
This turkey is beyond believable. If anything it points out how hollyweird does not exist in the real world.
The could have done the brain surgeon crasher about a pair who crashes operations and pretend to be brain surgeons.
Good grief! Navol Mein Fuhr!
Remind me not to attend any of your weddings! I think I'd feel like I'm in a POW Camp.
And what percentage of weddings do you suppose are run "correctly?" I dare say the percentage is small.
As for myself, I certainly celebrate the institution of marriage. I'm in a 26-year happy one myself. But I hate weddings. I find them almost as depressing as funerals. Having talked to numerous other men who feel the same way, it's easy to believe that most men who go to a wedding by themselves must have a very good reason to do so. :-)
