The film's pleasures are greatly outnumbered by its failed expectations.

Reviews for Wedding Crashers
There's no reason why this movie shouldn't have worked: it's got a funny premise, a talented cast and an obviously lavish budget. But it lands without even a crash; just a dull, unfunny thud.
07/15/05
The thing that elevates it above the level of smirking gag-fest that Vaughn/Wilson have sometimes made in the past, is the critical eye that Crashers ultimately casts on these characters and their methods.
07/15/05
There isn't much of a story to it, but the comic combo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn is outrageous.
07/15/05
Director Dobkin should have taken a hint from his carousing central characters -- move in quick, score and get out before they know what’s hit ’em.
07/15/05
Why do so many contemporary comedies feel obliged to make room for heartwarming life lessons? Isn't it enough just to make people laugh?
07/15/05
...could have been a rousing satire...
07/15/05
Trust me: You won't hate yourself in the morning. These swindlers are sensational.
07/15/05
Targeting adults means smarter material, if you get the right script, and writers Steve Faber and Bob Fisher have a nice ear for the funnier things that make us human.
07/15/05
OK, so I chuckled and had a decent enough time, but I was expecting the most inspired comedy of summer.

Top CriticIt's a combination of the kind of go-for-it comedies Hollywood routinely made before the PG-13 rating became a symbol as opposed to a standard targeting the widest, blandest possible audience, and sexy romantic comedy.
07/15/05
Top CriticA profane, uproariously funny film that celebrates and chastises the aging womanizers at its center, played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
07/15/05
an unapologetically raunchy and frequently hilarious farce... Wilson and Vaughn... work together superbly... Impressively, the rest of the cast is playing at the same level.
07/15/05
In this era of pious pseudopatriotism, any movie that dares to show its 'heroes' using fake Purple Hearts to score free drinks at a cash bar is a thing to savor.
07/15/05
Vaughn is at his best, McAdams is perfectly adorable, relative newcomer Fisher steals scenes from her cast mates with wicked ease; and Walken is, well, Walken.
07/15/05
It's a pretty lousy movie with some funny parts.
07/15/05
Top CriticThe script by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher is one of those high-speed, ping-pong-banter marvels in which you're still laughing from the last great line when you're hit by the next.
07/15/05
If a film is going to be in bad taste, at least it should have the decency to follow through on its convictions, rather than morph into something else.
07/15/05
Top CriticThe cheerfully raunchy Wedding Crashers may be just the cure for Hollywood's summertime box office blues.
07/15/05
This absurd romantic comedy, about a couple of thirtysomething rakes who sneak into bridal parties to meet women, is often laugh-out-loud funny, thanks to the considerable charms of its four leads and a few gleefully tasteless sex jokes.
