Alright.. Which Numb-skull told me the Wedding Crashers was funny...
Cliche ridden, sophomoric, boring and just plain rude...

I couldn't get past the sensitive different son refusing to play touch football....

Yikes....

And this clunker made over 100 million....

My god, no wonder the terrorists hate us....

1. My step-daughter and her husband claim it to be hilarious,
and knowing them like I do I will avoid it completely.

2. The first 30 minutes of it was funny as hell
when they were doing all the wedding crashing.

I slept through the rest of it.

So, without a doubt, it was not me!

7. The first 30 minutes is what the previews were about
the rest of the movie dragged on and was generally stupid.

3. Now you tell me
A friend recommended it, so I got it from Netflix. It came the other day but I haven't watched it yet.

8. Anybody who saw it should have told you that.
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 08:37 PM by UCLA02
It could have ended about 10 minutes earlier, though. But a campy classic, nonetheless.

Vince Vaughn's ad-libbed rants are worth the rental price, even if you think the rest of the movie is shit.

13. It just seemed really forced to me....
Like they were trying to cram as much fun into a movie as they could...

And some of it was high comedy and then they went SNL....

I don't know....

Maybe seeing Jane Seymour like that was what turned me off....

14. THAT is a funny movie
Clever, funny. It has good plot with better characters. Much, much better film. I don't think wedding crashers is even in the same league. 40 Year Old Virgin will still be funny in 10 years. Wedding Crashers will be in the $1 bin at Wal-Mart next year, at best.

15. I liked when it got mushy towards the end
I thought the parts mocking the "oddball" did go overboard and the whole Will Ferrell subplot was unneeded, but I did find a lot of it to be funny. Also, I felt like the mushiness towards the end saved it; most of the critics complained about that aspect but I thought it gave the tone of the movie some needed balance. Overall, I enjoyed it; I was a little surprised because it isn't the kind of movie I usually like that much.

29. Why on Earth did you do that?
I didn't even rent the thing much less watch it in the theater. I love comic books, and I love comic book movies, but even I could see from a mile off that that movie would blow steaming fetid chunks.
