Lots of profanity ruined the film.

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2007)

The trend these days in comedy is to use profanity as much as actually speaking. Almost every foul language imagined was used in Wedding Crashers when you really didn't have to go to that extreme. 40-Year Old Virgin did the same thing.
Almost no one, unless their in Hollywood, uses this much profanity. If you had a foul mouth at work, you'd soon have the boss telling you to cool it. If you used this much profanity with friends, you'd have none...unless you work in Hollywood.
But if you look at Bruce Almighty, Meet the Parents, Shrek, Anger Management, Big Fat Greek Wedding, etc. they still did killer business, but didn't resort to 'gross foul language'. Disappointing considering the director of 'Wedding' did the much much better film 'Shanghai Knights' that had almost no foul language yet was 20 times funnier.
The point is that in Middle America, where most decent people live, the only time someone swears is when their really mad.
People over 25 are gradually waning from going to the theaters anymore. The population grew last year by 5% to 360 million Americans. Yet the box office attendance has declined 20% since 1990. Hmmmm.....
