Dumb

Rating: 4/10 (19 January 2006)

When I popped Wedding Crashers into my DVD player I was expecting it to be a hilarious laugh a minute bawdy comedy. I was very, very wrong in my expectations of this film. It was instead a dumb and rarely funny comedy that recycled ideas many other movies had used before and made them worse than they originally were. The plot is a cliché, really. The idea sounds kinda cool and original but what actually happens is a complete cliché. The performances are varied. Christopher Walken is very bad. Owen Wilson is horrible, amazingly horrible. He just sucked. On the other hand Rachel Mcadams and Vince Vaughn are both very good and pretty hilarious. The direction is just bad, plain and simple. The visual effects are also very bad. A mess of a comedy that is rarely funny and very uneven.
