really is "The funniest film of the year so far"

Rating: 6/10 (25 July 2005)

This film has everything you want in a comedy. Mainly due to fine performances from Wilson, Vaughn and show-stealer Isla Fisher this pushes all the right buttons. A laugh out loud classic. The storyline does borrow heavily from the likes of meet the Fochers and American Wedding but is more consistently funnier than both. Vaughn is on top form and this could possibly be his best role in years and stands out even if he at times is playing second fiddle to Wilson. There is lots of good back up (perhaps a little short) from big guns like Walken, Seymour and a certain Frat pack member who all benefit from the script spreading humour across all characters. In conclusion this is a fun film in a year where only dark films seem to be any good. This film needs to be seen.
