Wedding Crashers Reviews |
It offers plenty of belly laughs early on, but the appeal is short-lived. It would be untrue for me to claim I didn't laugh during Wedding Crashers, but the longer the movie stayed on screen - outlasting its welcome by a considerable amount - the less amusing it was. After a promising beginning, this movie crashes and burns. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Here he and Vaughn create a comedy duo I’d like to see more, ad libbing many of their scenes together. Whatever and however they did it, they have a chemistry and repartee that work....The film got an ovation at the media screening, and that doesn’t happen often. [read review] 9/10
Although "Wedding Crashers" makes a token pass at being romantic, it's a manifestly cynical comedy staged in salaciousness lite....There's usually something inherently amusing about movie scenes in which outsiders fit badly into an uppercrust social sphere where the eccentric, snooty rich beg to be undermined ungraciously. It's a cheap and easy way to enlist audience empathy. [read review] 
The weakest element of the film is the ending. It takes a little too long to get to the conclusion, even though it’s generally obvious in these films what’s going to happen. And the over-the-top ending is just a little too much. But it still retains a sense of humor, and I honestly think that’s the most important thing. [read review] 
I wish I could recommend Wedding Crashers as a whole, as it does have some very funny moments, but most of those occur before the permanent derailment. The best advice I can give is to watch the first half and enjoy it for what it is, and skip out the lackluster climax and atrocious denouement. [read review] 
--Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
Not all of ``Wedding Crashers'' works, but because Vaughn and Wilson are so in touch with each other, it works well overall. Still, we could have done without the obligatory sodden grandma (Ellen Albertini Dow) spouting profanities and embarrassing sexual revelations, and the film rather stupidly indulges the eternal frat-boy theme of homosexual panic. [read review]
When “Wedding Crashers” feels up to it, the film is a hilarious vehicle for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson to shake their comedic talents. However, someone forgot to mention that “Crashers” is a comedy to the director, who insists, regardless if it fits the framework of the picture, that “Crashers” is more of a romantic film. Thankfully, he’s overruled most of the time. [read review] 
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
But all things considered: "Wedding Crashers" is an absolutely perfect date movie for those between the ages of 18 and 40. It's got lots of playfully profane material, two solid comedians working overtime, and just enough well-earned sweetness to keep everybody happy. It ain't high art, and it sure isn't deep, but you'll laugh a lot, you'll get a happy ending, and you'll see a bevy of gorgeous women. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night. [read review]
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
About 20 minutes before the credits roll in "Wedding Crashers," something goes very wrong. It feels as if a drunken script doctor stumbled into the party, demanded to know where all the clichés had gone and insisted they be put right back where they belong. [read review]
"Wedding Crashers" is all runway and no takeoff. It assembles the elements for a laugh-out-loud comedy, but it can't make them fly. There are individual moments that are very funny. But it takes a merciless focus to make a good comedy, and the director, David Dobkin, has too much else on his mind. [read review]
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Sometimes a movie comedy just clicks. Welcome to one of those times. Wedding Crashers fires off big, fat, raucous laughs as if it had an endless supply. It doesn't. The film limps a bit in the final stretch like a wedding guest who knows how to party butdoesn't know when to go home. A small price to pay for so much hot, rowdy fun. [read review] 
--Peter Travers (Rolling Stone)
The only flaw I would have to point out is that it can’t prevent itself from a cliché ending. In the end, it still needs to please the audience and give them their predictable outcome. Even with that, it’s done in a fashion that isn’t too sappy and stillstays true to a rated R flick. There is even a cameo towards the end that completes this movie as the summers funniest, perhaps the year’s best. [read review] A
--Andrew Casertano (TheCinemaSource)
Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn make a great comedy team and there are some terrific gags here but Wedding Crashers is far too long and eventually outstays its welcome. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
"The Wedding Crashers" has the occasional ring of familiarity. There's definitely something old and something new, even some things borrowed and humor that's blue. [read review]
I predict a long and fruitful future for Wedding Crashers – buckets of money – but by my count, it doesn’t just crash, it burns. [read review] 
--Kimberley Jones (Austin Chronicle)
WEDDING CRASHERS is an exercise is nicely played absurdity. It’s laugh out loud funny and one of the diciest date movies ever. [read review]
