Finally a solid comedy

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2005)

The 2000's thus far have been devoid of actual comic genius that deviated from the gag and gross-out joke. Wedding Crashers actually brings with it some interesting situational humor and witty rhetoric. It is a solid comedy and definitely worth a watch. Vaughn and Owen have a pretty well maintained chemistry throughout, with Vaughn's performance stealing the comedic edge by far and Owen performing well in the facets of both comedy and warming the heart. I personally could have done without the brother character, as that seemed to be the only superfluous storyline that didn't really fit well into the film. There's nothing completely unpredictable about the film, unless perhaps you count the one very good cameo performance, but predictability aside, it is thoroughly enjoyable and highly entertaining, and most definitely a step above the "Dude Where's my Car"-esquire tripe that has been hitting the theaters lately.
