'Wedding Crashers': Heart and humor succeed despite the raunch

Watching the brashly hilarious "Wedding Crashers" is like getting a frilly, scented wedding invitation that comes with a copy of Hustler magazine. That's not only because it's about a pair of guys whose mission in life is to pick up (and lay down) single women at weddings. The movie is unapologetically raunchy, but in the end it has a heart after all. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
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.

READ THE REVIEW

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."
