Bradley Cooper stole the show in this - Wedding Crashers (2005) Discussion

[–] digitalboy72 12 years ago

This was my introduction to him as well, he was an unlikable asshle in this one but after seeing a majority of his films I think he's a terrific actor, especially in Silver Linings Playbook.

Bradley was also good in a short lived TV show Kitchen Confidential (wonder if that's on DVD?) Not sure if the show was before or after Wedding Crashers. Love Silver Linings and The Place Beyond the Pines also good.

He was the lead in some made for TV movie years before Wedding Crashers that spoofed reality shows back before they were they were on every channel, and people didn't know much about them. But I think that this movie is what launched his career.

I thought he was brilliant in this role as a villain. I loved the scenes when he's beating Owen up out the back with his friends when he crashed the engagement party as a waiter. The music suddenly becomes dark and evil - almost like a thriller. Love it.

I also didn't care for Bradley Cooper's character in this movie either and for awhile I wouldn't watch another Bradley Cooper movie because of my hatred towards his character in "Wedding Crashers", I was impressed with his performance in "The Hangover" movies, I thought Bradley Cooper's character in "Wedding Crashers" should have been toned down some.

The opposite for me, I thought his character was unbelievable and the character was over the top. I didn't believe a sweet girl like Claire would allow a hothead like him to treat her like crap, all while her father watched and approved. Prior to the final scene the father thought he was the man so to speak, after numerous occasions where he craps on his daughter. I would have been OK if most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.

Their relationship is obviously slightly forced--a product of two powerful families intermingling. It's almost like an arranged marriage, and pressure is clearly coming from all sides for Claire to marry this douchebag. Maybe, she's fine with it and decides to go with the flow, until she meets John. And it's then that she obviously realizes Sack isn't right for her.

Some of you on here - you've seriously never known sweet girls like Claire to date incredible jerks like Sack? It happens a LOT. Particularly when things like money and big family names are involved.

I absolutely couldn't stand him, which is why I thought he did an excellent job at it. He was awesome in the role.

He's much more likable during the first two seasons of Alias. That being said, if anyone stole this movie it was Isla Fisher.

"Bradley Cooper stole the show."

Vince Vaughn would like to have a word with you. Vince made this movie for me, along with Isla Fisher and Christopher Walken. Owen played off of Vaughn very well but the movie just wouldn't've been the same if Owen had to do the heavy lifting.
