Deftly balances the bawdy buddy sex-farce and palatable date flick. Laugh out loud funny.

This movie was pretty funny but unfortunately most of the good parts were shown in the previews. At least it had an original concept to start with...I mean its not like we've all seen a dozen wedding crasher movies. My advice is to rent it instead of buying it.

It wasn't what everyone cracked it up to be. Don't get me wrong, its a pretty funny movie but it didn't live up to the hype for me. Owen Wilson was his typically bumbling, awkwardly funny persona and Vince Vaughn was unapologetically crudely funny. At times it felt very improvisational to me, as if they just set a rolling camera on the two of them and let them go. At least it felt like that in the much more raunchy "uncorked" version. I felt it really dragged near the end as if it was a completely different film. However I adore Wilson and Rachel McAdams was charming as ever. An average movie, all in all.

Not sure what two 30 something lawyers would be doing gate-crashing weddings but the characters are well drawn and I like Owen Wilson who has a nice film presence - 'this is me, that's what you get attitude' Strange premise but pleasant enough movie, though I can't remember a single line in it..

A pretty funny movie. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson make a good acting dual in this buddy movie about divorce lawyers who crash weddings to have one night stand with women.they probably have done this for years. it comes to difference when they crash a wedding of a rich family.Each like a different sister. vince vaughn's character attracts this sister who is bit on the odd side. she takes to him right away and things go crazy for him after that. Owens character likes the other sister who already has a boyfriend who of course is a total jerk. they end up at the parents estate and tough stuff happens to The VV character Jeremy, . we see Owens character JOhn really is growing to like his girl of interest. Of course they get caught and we see what happens to both the end is fairly predictable. good movie with some real funny scenes. the actress Isla something is a stand out as the wacky sister who is after the jeremy character.

I think I had unrealistically high expectations going into Wedding Crashers. I had heard it described as the funniest thing since Old School and up there with Swingers as a comedy that has a brain. Don't get me wrong, there were some hysterically funny scenes. Vince Vaughn is in the role he should be in every movie, and he really is at the top of his game. Owen Wilson is sort of the same character he plays in every movie, and it works pretty well in Wedding Crashers. But I could have done without the love interest - I thought it derailed what was shaping up to be a really, really funny movie. And there were some really weak plot twists - I thought the gay brother didn't work very well. It's definitely worth seeing in the theaters, as it will make you laugh - but don't expect another Swingers.

The funniest of the rash of Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughn moves that have come out in recent years. I highly recommend it.

Well, I caught the 4:00 pm showing of this movie at the theater, and returned for the 9:30 pm showing tonight. While the movie got off to a slow start, and during the first 15 minutes was left to wonder what exactly the hype was all about, when the movie actually got started and my question was answered. It's friggin' hillarious. Vince Vaughn is a hero of mine (I'll forgive him the misfortune that was Be Cool) and this movie made him even more so in my eyes. His facial expressions were nothing short of priceless, and he delivers his lines with such vigor that it looks as though this is the most fun he's had on a set in a long time. Owen Wilson was wonderful as well, playing his typical player-but-nice-guy-at-the-same-time role which was perfect for the movie. It is rude, unappologetic, and had both the audiences I was in today in an uproar of laughter. This movie will be promptly added to my movie collection once out on DVD. It's Wedding Season!

I was lucky enough to view an advanced screening of Wedding Crashers last Thursday night. Hilarious doesn't do the film justice. You know how in most films you remember the funniest parts and bring them up as you leave the theater? This one, it's hard to remember the best parts because there's so many of them. Unlike his previous films, where Vince Vaughn is usually reduced to the role of 'scene stealer', here we get a full dose of Babaganush, and he's in his finest form since 'Swingers'. If you liked him in his Swingers/Made persona, you'll love him here. Some of the riffs that he has literally will have you holding your sides with laughter. Owen Wilson is Owen Wilson. You either like him or you don't. He's more of the straight man in this film, although he does have some pretty good lines too, and he has great chemistry with Vaughn, especially in the scenes where they're fighting. He's the ying to Vaughn's yang. The movie certainly 'earns' it's R rating. There's a healthy dose of nudity, sex related hijinks, and f-bombs. But it's not 'gross out' humor a la American Pie. It pushes boundaries, but not just in a 'shock value' way. It's genuinely funny. I saw the movie with a bunch of critics, who usually the jaded type, were laughing their asses of as well. Guys will love this movie and will be quoting it for the rest of the year. Girls will love it too though, and there is a romantic subplot (cheesy at times, but forgivable given how funny the movie is), with Rachael McAdams doing a great job as Owen Wilson's love interest. Isla Fischer plays the role of 'scene stealer' in this one, serving as Vince Vaughn's psycho love interest. And Chris Walken is Chris Walken. So overall..inappropriate, hilarious and glorious. Better than Oldschool. Way better than Anchorman. Best comedy of the year, maybe the last couple of years.
