'Wedding Crashers': Heart and humor succeed despite the raunch
by Bob Townsend

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

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."
