Have you ever watched a really good movie and knew it needed a sequel? Sometimes films end in ways that make viewers believe there's more to be discovered about the story. Actor Vince Vaughn has been featured in over 40 films throughout his career, but these three in particular seemed deserving of a continuation: Wedding Crashers, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up.
Although most of these original films are between five to 10 years old, some things are worth the wait. Check out the list below to discover why these sequels should happen sooner than later:
Wedding Crashers (2005)
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, and Keir O'Donnell.
Plot: Jeremy (Vaughn) and John (Wilson) are best friends who spend their spare time crashing wedding receptions and sleeping with as many women they can get their hands on, that includes guests and bridesmaids. When they find out the Secretary of the Treasury, William Cleary (Walken), is throwing a high-profile wedding for his daughter, they make it their mission to squeeze their way into the party.
John ends up falling hard for Cleary's other daughter Claire (McAdams), while Jeremy's one-night-stand with Cleary's youngest daughter Gloria (Fisher) turns into a crazy infatuation he can't escape. The best friends get invited to stay at the Cleary home for the weekend, igniting ridiculous events to unfold.
During their stay, the two meet the sexually frustrated wife Kathleen (Seymour), the outspoken grandmother, the girls' gay brother Todd (O'Donnell) who tries to seduce Jeremy, and Claire's estranged testosterone-fueled boyfriend Sack Lodge (Cooper). Jeremy and John lie to everyone explaining their different cousins
Feelings begin to grow between both Jeremy and Gloria, as well as, John and Claire. Things begin to turn for the worst once everyone finds out Jeremy and John aren't who they said they were. Jeremy and John then set out to salvage the relationships they've grown to love.
Why it deserves a sequel: The film ended on a happy note, with Jeremy marrying Gloria and John and Claire finally deciding to date. The last scene shows the four of them riding off in a car together thinking up new identities to take us as they plan to crash their next wedding together. Due to the hilarity of the film and the cast's amazing chemistry, it would have been great to see how they'd crash a wedding with their new ladies by their side.
The Break-Up (2006)
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Favreau, Joey Lauren Adams, John Michael Higgins, and Justin Long.
Plot: After two years in a predominantly blissful relationship, Brooke (Aniston) and Gary (Vaughn) decide to call it quits. Neither is willing to move out of their lavish condo, so they both decide to put the apartment up for sell and move out when someone buys it.
Quickly realizing living together when they're not romantically together makes things extremely awkward and tense, the two begin a series of actions in order to make their former-partner jealous and upset. From going on dates with younger men and strutting a new Brazilian wax around the house to holding strip poker nights and buying extravagant personal gifts, the living situation became worse and worse.
In a final attempt to salvage their relationship, Brooke invites Gary to a concert and he agrees to meet her there. After he never shows up, Brooke ultimately realizes she can't depend on him. Despite trying to fix the mistake he made, Brooke has made up her mind.
The condo gets sold, the two part ways for good, and embark on new lives without each other in it.
Why it deserves a sequel: Brooke and Gary began living life separately. Brooke did a little soul-searching out of the country, while Gary took a more active role with his tour guide business. On a random day in Chicago, the two casually make small talk after running into each other on the street.
It gave viewers the slightest bit of hope that maybe the two both wanted to rekindle their relationship. Seeing them start fresh and build a new bond would be interesting.
Four Christmases (2008)
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Kristin Chenoweth, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau, Mary Steenburgen, Tim McGraw, and Katy Mixon.
Plot: Unmarried couple Brad (Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) go out of their way to avoid spending Christmas with their crazy families, but an unsuspected cancellation of their flight to Fiji changes everything. The couple is forced to visit their respected relatives which each include divorced parents, dysfunctional siblings, and their out-of-control children.
While engaging in the four Christmases, Brad and Kate learn that spending time with family isn't all that bad, as well as, new details about their own relationship.
Why it deserves a sequel: The couple who spent years avoiding their families for the holidays continued their secretive ways by hiding the pregnancy and birth of their baby. Sharing a baby means their families would be connected for life, which would include birthdays, more holidays together, and possibly even a crazy marriage ceremony. Who wouldn't want to see these two families plan a wedding?
