'Wedding Crashers' takes a while to get the party started
by Robert Winterode
Weddings never make good movies. (I particularly despise "The Wedding Singer.") That alone should make you nervous about "The Wedding Crashers." With Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as luckless slackers, the film does have the pedigree of the Frat Pack. If you skip the first 20 minutes and the final 30 minutes, "Wedding Crashers" could rate with "Zoolander" and "Snatch" as one of the best comedies of the past 10 years. But those hackneyed, borrowed parts drag the film down.
Read the full review
Guided by a secret set of wedding-crashing rules, two divorce mediators find their way into a different wedding — and a different bridesmaid's heart — every week. But when they crash the social event of the season, one of them falls for the engaged daughter of an influential and eccentric politician.

Quicktime
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B+
"Fisher, in her first major role, steals every scene — often besting Vaughn's hip staccato delivery with wild leaps of physical comedy and a character that manages to be both screwy and sexy."
Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"The final third of the film nosedives into 'boy loses girl and boy gets depressed' cliches. Again, there's a lot of screen time for Wilson and Vaughn, and they make poor use of it."
Middletown Journal: B+
"Vaughn and Owen's chemistry sizzles, with Vaughn playing the go-for-broke adventurous type, while Wilson balances the scales with his goofy but lovable charm. They volley rapid-fire banter with enough ease and confidence to impress Cary Grant."
The Palm Beach Post: B
"Wilson and Vaughn are an inspired comic team, with Vaughn earning most of the laughs with his motormouth monologues and physical pratfalls."
