Wedding Crashers Strategic Error?
Posted on 6/12/17 at 4:26 pm
Posted on 6/12/17 at 4:26 pm
Was watching Wedding Crashers yesterday, and I saw this listed as a plot hole somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's that.
Vince and Owen's backstory is that their relationship with the family is that they're "Uncle Ned's kids" It's never specified, but if Uncle Ned (or Aunt Liz) was on the bride's side, the Cleary family looks quite incestuous (as far as Christopher Walken knows for most of the movie, his daughters are becoming quite close to their long-lost cousins).
So plausibly, the real Uncle Ned and Aunt Liz are on the groom's side. With that in mind, the dinner table conversation where Sack asks the brothers how they know the family doesn't quite sound like the brothers are coming from the opposite side of the alter, but perhaps that can be forgiven.
Question is, if you were wedding crashing, would you claim to be blood relatives of anyone there, or would co-worker of key wedding participant be the way to go?

You have to remember that they are usually gone before anyone figures out what happened. Get in, get drunk, get fed, get laid, get out
This was a extended situation created by the love affair. New waters for them

Yeah, that's why I only noticed this on the basic cable version.

With the way kids call their parent's friends aunt and uncle these days, who knows if Ned and Liz were really blood relatives.

I forget when they say this and who they were talking to...

Who names their kid Sack?

The Lodges do. As they prepare to unite with the Clearys and challenge the Klingons for interstellar domination.
ETA: For the longest time I kept just thinking his name was Zack and people were just pronouncing it funny. My mind wouldn't trust my ear that the dude's name was actually fricking Sack

I never knew they were calling him sack, wtf

Interesting point, I always wondered why they made up jobs, why not just stick to what you know and make up details so they couldn't figure out exactly who you are.

I just assumed Sack was some kind of high school or college nickname that stuck.
Like his friends used to call him nut sack or something like that.

When they sit down at the wedding, the guy next to them asks how they know the groom. That's where they respond "We're Uncle Ned's kids."

His nickname was sack because he was an all american at linebacker.

You’re sitting there, you’re wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I’m not really interested, should I play like I’m interested but I’m not that interested, but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested, but now she’s not interested? So all of the sudden I’m getting, I’m starting to get interested… And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it’s awkward, it’s like well goodnight. Do you do like that arse-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your arse sticks out cause you’re trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don’t kiss them at all? It’s very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you’re just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called ‘just the tip.’ Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you’re on my hair.”

The finger foods were phenomenal.

I think you're over thinking it. It was just one old couple that asked them how they knew the family. Probably didn't anticipate running into them again for the rest of the day anyways. Just a ploy to resolve the question.

So let me make this clear, his name is Sack and not Zack? I always thought his name was Zack.
