Wedding Crashers: the TV Show
Filed under: Comedy, Documentary, New Line, Home Entertainment
Usually when a movie is adapted into a TV series, either the situation of the movie's plot or its characters are brought from the big screen to the small, but New Line has announced a TV version of the comedy hit Wedding Crashers that doesn't have much to do with the original source. Rather than making a sitcom based on the roles originated by Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the series will be more of a candid-camera reality show, in the style of Punk'd. In fact, the show will be produced by Ashton Kutcher and his partners at Katalyst Films. Wedding Crashers will follow a group of improv actors as they crash actual weddings -- in a good way. What? Well, rather than imposing on and embarrassing the bride and groom, the actors will make the weddings more fun for the parties, contributing memorable stunts and pranks much like Wilson and Vaughn do in the first 20 minutes of the movie. I can only imagine that sometimes the wedding parties will not appreciate the stunts and pranks as much as New Line thinks they will, however. Just think about whether you'd want your wedding exploited for reality television. Okay, so many people might welcome the 15 minutes of fame. So, what's next, New Line? Snakes on a Plane, the realty series?

Whoa, I'm glad this show didn't come out in time for our wedding. After a year of planning and spending for a wedding I definitely wouldn't have appreciated someone "helping" out with pranks on the wedding day.
On the other hand it may be fun to watch other people's wedding get helped.

It sounds like a recipe for disaster to me but I admit I had to laugh when reading Cinematical%u2019s take on this new program, speculating that Kutcher%u2019s next reality TV show would be based on the movie "Snakes on a Plane!"
Having read many comments relating to this topic I feel a large percentage of brides and grooms will hate to have their wedding crashed by Kutcher.
The comcept is funny in a movie, but for real life it's just a very sad cheap joke.

Actually, according to the promo I just saw on NBC, the bride and groom are in on it. So it really isn't about ruining their day, just having a little fun.
And I say kudos. I'll never forget the video I saw of the best man "shooting" a man who objected after the preacher said the classic "speak now or forever hold your peace." Some people like to have a little fun at their weddings and so set up stunts on their own, so why not have improv actors do it with you? (Especially the sexy Steve Byrne. ^_^)
