A philosophical question first: does aged worst mean what has become offensive or what seems antiquated, like a 1984 action scene or seventies red-paint gunfights; the answer is simply what has aged poorly, and here it is Elisha Cuthbert's high-school character at the top of the list.
Kilborn's acting is brutal; Piven's toupee needed another trip to the shop; Artie Lang (as transcribed) and Matt Walsh, two of the funniest people, are misused and told to play it serious, probably a favor and a paycheck around the Howard Stern years after Dirty Work.
James Carville has aged worst two ways: why is he in it, and sixteen years later younger viewers do not know who he is; when the film turns into a Back to School competition, as Stripes does by going to war and Animal House started, the last fifteen minutes are entertaining but forced, which is why stunts like Carville are needed; Craig knows Carville mainly from Bill Hader on SNL.
Luke Wilson sleeping with a high-school girl who then greets him on his date with Ellen Pompeo is a tough beat; she might have been 18, which would have aged less badly, though the Terry O'Quinn scene has him say she is seven months from college, so she is 17 or 18 and either way not great.
Brian Cowan's (as transcribed) agent is added to what aged worst, out of frustration that his career was not bigger.
David Dobkin directed two Tupac videos; Owen Wilson found the script corny and he, Vaughn and the writers rewrote most of it; John McCain and James Carville cameo in the first Cleary wedding and McCain gave his $700 to charity; the website sold fake Purple Hearts until the military intervened; The Real Wedding Crashers ran four episodes on NBC in 2007; Will Ferrell shot for one day; Dobkin, Vaughn and Wilson once came up with an idea for a sequel with Daniel Craig as a superior crasher; Isla Fisher announced a sequel in 2017, used a body double and talked producers down from five nude scenes to one; Vince Vaughn did not keep the painting
Burned early: David Dobkin directed two Tupac videos, I Get Around and Keep Your Head Up, two of his first jobs and two classics.
Per a 2005 Owen Wilson quote, the script was not comfortable on first read, a funny concept but partly corny, so Wilson, Vaughn and the writers changed most of the movie, including the arc of Jeremy's romance, and dropped a Graduate-like wedding scene; that prompts the Wayne's World 2 parody and a wish for a Mike Myers episode, with So I Married an Axe Murderer called his best.
John McCain and James Carville appear briefly in the first Cleary wedding; McCain donated his $700 salary to charity and got shit for the fake Purple Hearts the crashers use for free drinks; the movie website sold fake Purple Hearts until the military intervened, which the hosts mock as a 2005 way to spend 11 minutes online.
The creators made a reality show, The Real Wedding Crashers, which ran four episodes on NBC in 2007; a host wonders whether it would seem reprehensible now, and Kevin Clark's Ringer story on Jerry Rice as a real-life wedding crasher is recalled.
Will Ferrell's two scenes were shot in one day; according to David Dobkin, he, Vaughn and Wilson came up with a sequel in which John and Jeremy compete with a superior wedding crasher played by Daniel Craig; Isla Fisher announced on Andy Cohen's show in November 2017 that the sequel was a go, but nothing has been heard since the Me Too era.
Isla Fisher used a body double for her nude scene and told Entertainment Weekly she talked the producers down from five nude scenes to one; she watched Fatal Attraction and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle before her audition, and De Mornay is in the movie; it is not true that Vince Vaughn kept the painting Todd gave Jeremy.
