Insipid

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2013)

On paper, Wedding Crashers seemed rather interesting but the end result is far from living up to the expectations.
What strikes is that the movie is far too long: that type of comedy shouldn't last more than 1h45 max. The consequence is that the good parts such as the family diner, and god knows there are only a few, are lost in a mass of more or less interesting scenes.
The comical potential is therefore unexploited, one can count the gags on the fingers of one hand and most of them fall flat. On top of that, the script develops a corny romantic side that takes up a lot (too much) space.
One won't remember either the cast's performances, and certainly not Owen Wilson's, completely bland as the movie itself.
