`Wedding Crashers` Ranked Top Comedy of 2005

`Wedding Crashers`, from New Line Cinema, is bringing in the big bucks this year as it recently reached top comedy film of 2005, raking in over $180 million. Directed by David Dobkin, this over-the-top comedy is currently considered the 2nd highest grossing R-rated comedy in history.

The film, which continues to play well throughout the US, now ranks as the 7th biggest grossing film of the year. It has also passed such hits as `Pretty Woman`, `There`s Something About Mary`, and this year`s `Hitch` to become the second highest grossing R-rated comedy of all time behind `Beverly Hills Cop.`

The outrageous comedy `Wedding Crashers` stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as divorce mediators and lifelong friends who have never met a wedding they couldn`t crash. Guided by a secret set of wedding crashing `rules`, the pair find their way into a different wedding and different bridesmaids`s heart every week. But when they crash the social event of the season, one of them falls for the engaged daughter (Rachel McAdams) of an influential and eccentric politician (Christopher Walken) and decides to break the `rules` in pursuit of her. This leads to a wild weekend at her family`s palatial estate where the ultimate `Crashers` quickly find themselves in way over their heads.
