They're just too darn old...

Rating: 2/10 (14 March 2007)

I didn't like this movie. While slapstick comedies involving embarrassing situations and bodily fluids do work (see American Pie,) this one just falls flat. What really made it not work for me from the very beginning was that Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are just way too old to be crashing weddings. Maybe that's the point, and there is a moment when a character comments that Owen Wilson's character is "not that young" - an understatement in this particular situation. Anyone over the age of 25 should not be behaving in this manner, never mind men pushing 40. They're too old for their behavior; they're too old for the women they end up with (well, maybe not by Hollywood standards... ick!); they're too old to be funny with this premise. Too, too much.
