Wedding Crashers

Rarely do the wife and I go out of our way to see a new movie on opening weekend, maybe two a year tops but the concept of this one was so great, we both knew we had to see it.

I will say first, two things which were a bit off-putting were one, the timing of the dialogue. I say this because there were points during the movie that had the audience laughing so loud, you'd never hear potentially equally funny dialogue taking place. And two, Will Ferrell's part plain sucks. I can't stand fake, try to be over the top, nonsense that just plain isn't funny.

It's easily outweighed, however, by the two leads and, particularly Walken (big surprise), Seymour (don't recall her ever playing a raunchy role type), and all of the hotties willing to strip down so easily. Seriously, the movie was a fucking riot overall and worth the price of admission.

Really? I mean, really, you were surprised? Walken has almost a cult following for his comedic turns. His SNLs alone are some of the best skits out there. I don't know much about this movie other than it's a comedy. From what I remember of the previews he's a father of a bride or something? Can totally see him in that role.

he's being sarcastic?

yeah, this was a really good movie. it's not very often that a movie comes along with this many laughs in it. owen wilson and vince vaughn know what roles and characters people like to see them in and they play it up really well here. I was starting to think that vaughn's overdramatic obnoxious guy schtick was getting pretty fucking old, but he played it really well here. I guess a good script helps in that regard.

funniest movie of the year. that dinner scene put 'meet the parents' to shame.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » July 17, 2005, 11:48 pm

well okay, but watching nazis torture romanian gypsies to death with smoking hot fire pokers is funnier than meet the parents.

This movie was fucking fantastic, I strongly recommend it.

Post by **Sylvus** » July 18, 2005, 12:48 am

I concur, the movie was hilarious. I'd say that it's arguably Vince Vaughn's best movie, and I hold Swingers in very high regard.

I concur on this tangent.

As far as the topic at hand, I am looking forward to seeing this movie. It does not look too shabby and I am glad to see some good reviews.

I thought the, 'I painted you a picture...' scene, trumped the dinner scene.

I was seriously dying.

I think Swingers was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Mainly cause I could see so many of my friends in the different characters etc, or even myself. I think that quote just pushed me over into seeing this movie -- I pretty much can't stand going to movie theaters cause I hate the seats.

Morgrym · Post by **Morgrym** » July 18, 2005, 3:31 pm

Indeed, this is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Rare to find something that can make you actually laugh these days.

good, but no old school or office space, parts of it were a little dragged out

[Show]: will ferrell's role was fucking hilarious, godamn

Not the only one. I didn't think it was that funny either. Same for Anchorman.

Post by **Sylvus** » July 21, 2005, 12:18 am

Your opinion doesn't count though, Aslanna, you don't like anything.

I'm pretty sure that the target demographic is like 18-35 year old men, and I'd say that this movie should probably appeal to like 98% of them. Irish people not included.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » July 21, 2005, 12:19 am

85/100

And that's with a Camcorder version where I couldn't hear half the jokes. The church scene where they kept being overheard had me rolling.

I'll pick this one up on DVD when it comes out.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » July 21, 2005, 12:36 am

old school wasn't that funny, except for wil ferrel singing dust in the wind at that old cunt's funeral.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » July 21, 2005, 1:36 am

I agree about old school not being terribly funny (yeah, the Dust in the Wind thing was a nice touch), but I did enjoy Anchorman.

Funkmasterr · Post by **Funkmasterr** » July 21, 2005, 7:28 pm

Saw it last night with my girlfriend - it was packed on a wednesday night. We actually had to sit in the 3rd row from the screen, which was the only bad part. But we both laughed our asses off through the whole thing. I don't generally like will ferrell at all, but I liked his part in this. I forgot to watch the credits to see the girls name that owen wilson hooked up with, she was the best looking girl in the movie in my opinion.

Kaldaur · Post by **Kaldaur** » July 23, 2005, 4:05 am

My girlfriend told me what else she had been in. Apparently, the lead girl in the movie was the girl in the Notebook, and then she was also the lead bitch in Mean Girls. I haven't seen either of those, but I may check them out now because I agree, she was gorgeous and funny at the same time. I concur with everyone here, though, this movie had me cracking up.

Avoid The Notebook! It was pretty bad even for a sappy chick flick!

Mean Girls is an ok high school movie but Lindsay Lohan plays the main character, not Rachel McAdams who plays the mean part in the movie which is not suited for her imo.

I have to lift the arm-rest up on both sides just to fit. Then i have to wrestle osme teenagers to fit my 64oz coke in their chair and my tub of popcorn on the opposing seat.

But in reality, the seats make my knees hurt in quite a few theaters and make me think of riding a bus or airplane with no leg room. I think its a lot more convenient to just do other things and pick up dirt cheap DVD's from bargain bins months later. Turn around for them is so fast it just seems to make so much more sense for me to buy them that way.

People are complaining to the producers of the movie/site because you can print/cut out purple hearts, which the men use to get the ladies. This is apparently illegal and people are pissed about it. The site suggests using it for women and getting free drinks.

Farrel is great in a supporting role, he's very good at augmenting other actors. As a lead he's not funny except in places, and is too wooden to keep things going between those moments.

Saw this finally this weekend. Laughed my ass off. Some parts of the movie were superfluous but a great movie overall.

Despite having an immensely powerful body, I also like to use Nunchucks (or nunchaku which is their Respectful and deeply spiritual name), why? Because they KICK ASS, that’s why! No one wants to mess with a powerful, spiritual nunchuck killing machine

KICK ASS!

Funny, but not as funny as I expected it to be based on some of things said about that movie.

Ugh.. I feel sick about this, but. ^^ what he said. It was a decent movie, but there were only a few parts I found laugh out loud funny. It was more a feel good love story than an outrageous comedy.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » January 28, 2006, 9:59 pm

This film pulled a lot of punches, but it was still good. 40 yr old virgin was much funnier IMO.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » January 30, 2006, 11:52 am

I thought the movie average at best. There were a lot of laughs but there were some painfully horrible dialogue moments as well. It was almost like they were trying really REALLY hard to satisfy both men and women and failing at it. My wife got up and left at about halfway through the movie (we rented). I sat through and enjoyed the whole Vince Vaugn story arc but Owen Wilson just isn't funny and he can't pull off the dramatic role either. Will Ferrel was mostly funny but he over acted in several scenes (at the end wedding).

I would give this movie 6/10 rating.
