Funny. That's all that matters.

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2012)

This movie takes us to the edge of what's tasteful. Then it pulls our underwear over our heads and spanks us mercilessly. If you can handle it, you'll have a great time.
"Wedding Crashers" is a movie about a pair of 40-something men who have all the morals and tact of a bunch of teenagers on spring break. They run around crashing weddings, helping themselves generously to the food, music, and oh yeah, the women. In order to do this, they pull every trick in the book, trample on the sanctity of marriage, religion, peoples' feelings, and they're particularly cruel to German pop rock singer Nena by singing their hilariously horrible version of "99 Luftballoons" (a scene that was cut from the movie but available on the DVD deleted scenes). In other words, this is a movie that could possibly offend many people, but I don't think it does.
The reason why it doesn't offend us, despite its borderline sexist, iconoclastic and irreverent approach, is because Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are the most lovable dorks you can imagine. They're not foul-mouthed neanderthals trying to subjugate the entire female species; instead they're really sweet guys who are shown to be sensitive, humble and more-or-less intelligent. They just happen to be on a quest for some nookie.
Isla Fisher gives a great supporting performance as a mentally unbalanced nympho... sort of the female counterpart to the guys. Rachel McAdams plays the straight role giving the film stability. And Christopher Walken is... well, he's Christopher Walken. Nuff said.
Don't expect a morality play, because this ain't one (at least not in the conventional sense). Just expect a lot of corny gags which are brilliantly executed. It can get pretty racy at times, but nothing explicitly raunchy. I'd put it in the same class as "Hot Tub Time Machine", "There's Something About Mary" and the hilarious Australian comedy "The Wannabees" (for you fans of Isla Fisher). These are all funny movies that take us to the edge of tackiness and deliver some great laughs. You probably wouldn't want to watch them with your mom in the room, but they're well worth the price of admission.
