After a busy, several-week season of that, John is ready to take a break, but Jeremy is all set for the "Kentucky Derby" of weddings in the Washington, DC area where Secretary of the Treasury William Cleary (CHRISTOPHER WALKEN) is set to give away his oldest daughter in marriage. Being seasoned pros, the two have no problem crashing and then fitting into the ceremony and reception where both set their sights on the Secretary's other daughters. For Jeremy that's Gloria (ISLA FISHER) who he easily deflowers on the beach, while John has set his sights on her older sister Claire (RACHEL MCADAMS).
When Jeremy realizes he has a clingy and then seemingly psychotic young woman on his hands, he wants to leave, but Gloria convinces her dad to invite him and John back to their shore compound. That suits John just fine as he's still after Claire despite discovering that she has a preppy and aggressive boyfriend in the form of Sack Lodge (BRADLEY COOPER).
Once at the getaway, the two men discover they're in over their heads, what with the family's grandma (ELLEN ALBERTINI DOW) cursing like a sailor; Sack's brutal touch football play; the Secretary's wife, Kathleen (JANE SEYMOUR), coming on to John; and her troubled gay artist son, Todd (KEIR O'DONNELL) coming on to Jeremy when Gloria isn't.
As Sack tries to figure out the truth concerning them, John and Jeremy experience developments, complications and feelings for others that they never could or would have imagined might occur.
Other sex is implied, and other sexual material is present including fooling around, a married woman having a man feel her bare breasts, a nymphomaniac doing various sexual things to a man in several scenes, and a man coming on to another man in bed. Brief nonsexual nudity is also present.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including the main characters (who crash weddings with aliases and fake occupations to meet and bed women) and a supporting one (who's demeaning to his girlfriend and others, including the two guys). He tackles one hard several times in a game of touch football, and punches and knees the other in a separate scene (with some slight bloody results).
Other hitting is present, while a person is accidentally shot in his rear. Some of that has mild bloody results, while some crude humor (involving vomiting) occurs and tense family material includes a miscellaneous couple getting divorced and what's presumably a wife grieving at a funeral.
Various characters drink (sometimes quite a bit) in various scenes, while various bits of potentially imitative behavior are present.
