Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn’s Hit Comedy Crashes Back Into Theaters

Break out the pastel tie: 'Wedding Crashers' is headed back to theaters to celebrate 20 years of motorboating jokes and unexpected feelings. Yes, the math says the actual 20th is summer 2025, but the party starts this December.

When and what you are getting

Fathom Entertainment has teamed with Warner Bros. Pictures for two big-screen encore dates: December 4 and December 11. These screenings come with 10 extra minutes of deleted scenes pulled from the 2006 home release. Tickets are on sale now through Fathom's site and participating theaters.

Quick refresher: why this one hit so hard

It is an R-rated comedy about two best friends and professional charmers, John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, who spend weekends crashing weddings to meet women. Their hobby gets complicated when they slip into the wedding of the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury's daughter and stumble into something they swore they were not there for: actual feelings. John and Jeremy fall for sisters Claire and Gloria Cleary, and suddenly the rules of the game do not apply.

• Leads: Owen Wilson as John Beckwith, Vince Vaughn as Jeremy Grey
• Claire and Gloria: Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher
• The intimidating dad: Christopher Walken as Secretary William Cleary
• The obstacle: Bradley Cooper as Sack Lodge, Claire's aggressively awful boyfriend
• Mom of the house: Jane Seymour as Kathleen Cleary
• Director: David Dobkin
• Screenwriters: Steve Faber and Bob Fisher
• Producers: Peter Abrams, Robert L. Levy, Andrew Panay

A little context for the rerelease

'Wedding Crashers' first hit theaters in July 2005, drew broadly favorable reviews for mixing sweetness with the raunch, and turned into a monster box-office win: $288 million worldwide off a $40 million budget. The rerelease bundles in 10 minutes of deleted material fans first saw on the 2006 home entertainment version, so think of this as a celebration screening with bonus footage rather than a radically different cut.
