There are two words that make most men shudder: Wedding season. Why is that? Is it fear of commitment? Is it a wish to avoid the battle between Bridezilla and Momthra? We’re not entirely sure, so we put together a list of movies that you and your guy can watch together. They show that weddings are not necessarily the beginning of the end, and they can even be fun.
To make the list, the movie had to be primarily about a wedding (or series of weddings), it can’t just have a wedding at the end (like the latest installment in a certain archeology adventure series). Also, the movie has to be something that a man can watch with one of his friends (middle seat optional).
5) Honeymoon in Las Vegas
Before there was Indecent Proposal, Nicolas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker received an offer that they could not refuse. Cage plays an engagement phobic who is bullied by SJP at a wedding in Las Vegas (hmmm, sounds familiar …). From there, things go sideways, James Caan ends up winning SJP for 2 days, and Mr. Miyagi interferes while Cage tries to get her back. Nic finally succeeds with the help of the Flying Elvises, the Utah Chapter, and a small wedding chapel in Nevada. It’s strange that a Nicolas Cage movie ends with hundreds of Elvis impersonators. Or in Vegas, you just can’t escape that place.
4) Father of the bride
Sure, it’s hard to say that any movie featuring Diane Keaton is male-friendly (except The Godfather) but Steve Martin gives a fantastic performance as a man (George Banks) dealing with his mortality in front of his children growing up. George eventually recovers, but not after running away from the attack dogs, wearing a blue Armani tuxedo and letting his pre-teen son (Kieran Culkin) drive a car. On its way to collapse, let the audience hear about the collusion between the hot dog companies and the bun companies. Diane Keaton even manages to give some sensible advice, plus Martin Short turns into one of his best performances as a wedding planner named Franck.
3) The wedding singer
It was the late 90’s and all Adam Sandler played was gold. Instead of playing a rage-filled simpleton, Sandler stretched him out to play a caring wedding singer who just wanted a wedding of his own. After staying down the aisle, Sandler decides that “love sucks, yeah yeah” and doesn’t get out of his mood until he falls in love with Drew Barrymore (does he ever get old?) Before she turns into Julia Guglia ( pronounced goo -grass). Nice introductions from Christine Taylor and Billy Idol on this one. The movie was set in 1985, so there are a lot of those ‘if we only knew then what we know now’ moments involving Van Halen and CD players. Obviously, someone liked this movie enough to put it on Broadway. Totally awesome edit.
2) So I married an ax murderer
OK. This is really more about the relationship between Mike Myers and Nancy Travis, but the wedding is pretty important. Myers began his hobby by playing various characters in this movie. His beat poet persona Charlie always had reasons to break up with the women he dated. And then he met Nancy Travis, whom he later suspected was a black widow, “Jane, get me out of this madness called love.” The wedding reception role is Myers as Charlie’s Scottish father singing Rod Stewart until his piper passes out. We also learn that the world is run by a group called Pentavirate and that Colonel Sanders puts an addictive ingredient in his chicken that makes you crave it every fortnight.
1) Wedding intruders
How can you have a wedding movie list for guys without Wedding crashers? This movie hit theaters and launched the so-called Frat Pack to stardom. And it made the boys realize, ‘hey, I can get laid at that wedding, honey.’ Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn were perfectly cast to play two charming lotarios who were going to throw a 1,000,000 wedding and shake them all up. This one has too many quotes to even mention, and Will Ferrell’s appearance may be one of the best movie cameos of all time. The deleted scenes feature an amazing karaoke version of Nena’s ’99 Red Balloons’. And, yes, some poetry courtesy of Sarah McLachlan. This movie made $ 285 million at the cinema, which puts it right behind. My big greek wedding as the best-selling wedding movie of all time. Enjoy, your motorboat, son of a gun.
