The most exhilarating entertainment to emerge this year from the failed, forlorn factory town of Hollywood, largely because of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the best high-low comedy team since the hey-hey days of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

Wedding Crashers may be the most optimistic Hollywood comedy of the year, because it restores at least some dim hope that directors, writers and actors with actual brains in their heads can somehow triumph over unimaginative studio execs.

What should've been an absolutely raucous and no-holds-barred lusty farce is nothing but lame-ass, safe, predictable, lowest common denominator, no-laffs garbage

With great acting, hilarious gags, and great writing, it actually lives up to the hype.

Vince Vaughn commits rampant acts of comic zeal while the script around him crumbles in a movie that loses its thrust like a cat caught in traffic.

...goes a step beyond the usual romantic comedy with its buddy angle, and the opposing comedic styles of Wilson and Vaughn complement each other nicely. (Blu-ray Edition)

The two actors make a good contrasting team and bring an energy to the story that many romantic comedies lack.

The likes of the sneakily subversive Wilson and Vaughn deserve better... but this is darn close to a perfect showcase for what they can do, and how much better they do it together.

This raucous, boisterous comedy is not for kids.

Guys will have a few laughs but this certainly won't have the rewatch value of the likes of Old School or the Pie movies.

Unless you check your political correctness at the box office, expect to be offended.

As hilarious as it is classic, Wedding Crashers follows the code of all Vaughn movies and therefore never fails to delight. Walkin is an added bonus in this film and it has a few more heart felt moments that turn this film from a standard sex and booze fuelled comedy, into a more romantic chick flick piece of cinema.
