A bawdy summer comedy for adults and mature teens, this movie features rapid-fire dialogue and sincere affection between best-friend leads and strong chemistry between the actors who portray them.

Sharply honed, if often raunchy.

3.5/5

Wedding Crashers remains a fun, chaotic ride with undeniable charm, even if some of its jokes and attitudes haven’t aged particularly well.

The perfect example of a flawed but ultimately entertaining film.

2/5

Operating on the principle that lame verbal and visual gags are funny if the audience is repeatedly pummeled with them, Wedding Crashers sorely lacks a strong script and the kind of inventive direction worthy of its not-untalented leads.

Wedding Crashers runs on pure charisma. The plot barely matters once Owen and Vince start riffing. The movie knows the guys are ridiculous and lets the charm do the work until it quietly asks them to grow up! It’s really a movie about two employable men treating adulthood like a buffet they weren’t invited to, but plan to enjoy anyway. The jokes land because the friendship feels real underneath the nonsense. The true arc is if and when Owen and Vince going to finally recognize how absurd they are. Do they? They do, because it’s a studio comedy from back when studios trusted jokes more than commentary about jokes! This one’s just fun.

Wedding Crashers is a comedy that surprised me more than I expected. I’m not a huge Vince Vaughn fan, and I usually find his style hit or miss, but pairing him with Owen Wilson made the film work better than I thought it would. Their chemistry is the backbone of the movie, and that "pure stupid comedy" style actually lands quite a few laughs. The screenplay feels uneven at times, with certain jokes stretching on too long or moments that don’t flow as smoothly as they should, but the dynamic between the two leads helps carry the story forward. For me, this is an okay movie that I can rewatch if there’s a reason, but it isn’t something I actively seek out. I understand why audiences love it, and I do think it’s worth watching at least once to fully experience what made it so popular. The movie does hold up for those people that are into this type of comedy. So definitely not putting it down.
