| This outrageous comedy stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as divorce mediators and life long friends who find their way into a different wedding and a different bridesmaid'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. The soundtrack features music from Death Cab For Cutie, Flaming Lips, Bloc Party, Spoon, Rilo Kiley, and more. The enhanced CD is loaded with hilarious film outtakes and the music video for "Shout", which isn't available anywhere else.
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | Far from the wedding-reception favorites or laddish, caddish punk-pop and hip-hop that might be expected on the soundtrack of a movie like Wedding Crashers, the film's music actually plays like a sampler of recent trends in indie and alt-rock. Aside from Mungo Jerry's apt, cheeky "In the Summertime" and a remix of the Isley Brothers' "Shout," the soundtrack is almost painfully current: Songs like Spoon's "Sister Jack," Bloc Party's quietly epic "This Modern Love," and the Flaming Lips throwaway "Mr. Ambulance Driver" -- on which Wayne Coyne trades in his usual creaky warble for a lower, more controlled singing voice -- make the album feel like an indie rock version of Now That's What I Call Music! The Sights and the Sounds add a garage rock edge with "Circus" and "Rock 'n Roll," respectively, but the overall sensitive hipster vibe of Wedding Crashers comes from songs like the Long Winters' "Cinnamon," Rilo Kiley's "More Adventurous," and Death Cab for Cutie's "The Sound of Settling." Since one of the wedding crashers' prime macking techniques is appearing sensitive and in touch with their feelings, the soundtrack works well with the movie's portrayal of two wolves dressed in sheepish clothing, and also sounds good in its own right. ~ Heather Phares | | For the 2005 hit comedy WEDDING CRASHERS, the soundtrack producers assembled a collection of (mostly) contemporary alternative rock. Ben Gibbard, an early-2000s compilation fixture between his bands Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service, shows up with the former group on "The Sound of Settling," a catchy dose of power-pop that kicks off this set. Other standout acts include Bloc Party (who contribute the chiming "This Modern Love"), Rilo Kiley (the twangy "More Adventurous"), and the Flaming Lips (the dreamy, previously unreleased "Mr. Ambulance Driver"). Though the film is largely set at wedding receptions, "The Chicken Dance" and the "Electric Slide" are mercifully absent. Instead, the soundtrack presents a remix of the Isley Brothers' jubilant party classic "Shout," and closes with stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson attempting to accompany the Klezmer Juice Band on "Hava Nagilah." |
