Despite the hype that's landed "Wedding Crashers" stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in Budweiser ads and multiple magazine pieces, the biggest thing this libido-driven comedy has going for it is the f-word. As in, funny. Make no mistake, the f-word you were probably thinking of does figure prominently, along with many other naughty utterances. But under all the raunchiness, "Crashers" is actually sort of a sweet movie. And at its best, it perfectly channels the winning personalities of Wilson and Vaughn. 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.

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."
