Two friends who work as divorce mediators spend wedding season slipping into strangers' ceremonies under false names, using the open bar and the romantic mood to charm guests. A rule-bound, fast-talking comedy that gradually turns into a romance, and into farce.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining mainstream comedy of the mid-2000s, it shows how the studio R-rated comedy was rebuilt around ensemble improvisation and a romantic-comedy spine before the Apatow and Hangover wave.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a comedy about performance: two men who invent identities in seconds, and what a good lie costs the person telling it.
