Wedding Crashers

[hobbes]

The table scene alone was worth the price of admission. And how cute was it when the guys were arguing at breakfast and said they loved each other?

What movie did you all see? Was it this one?

I know YMMV and all, but is it really funny to watch guys trick girls into sex?

Yes. Yes it is.

I would definitely take that review with a grain of salt...for each bad review of this movie (and I have seen very few), there are many good reviews. Check out www.rottentomatoes.com, it's at a 72% rating over there, which is pretty good. I would hate for one bad review like the ruthless one to keep someone from seeing this movie, because it is hilarious, and there is a lot more to the movie than guys tricking girls into having sex. In fact, they have pretty much moved past that point within the first 20 minutes.

Yes into the moral that if you are a total scumbag, eventually your tree will bear fruit. I was forced by friends to see this, and it was awful. Worthless men bag women at weddings. And they are so drunk and/or stupid they comply! What a laugh fest! Use a bunch of women until you accidentally find THE ONE, who you suddenly treat with reverance. Pigs on parade! This is funny?

I found this to be the most rancid of movies. Ok, and I do not want a myriad of posts telling me I have no sense of humor. There is nothing funny in this premise.

And, again, the movie is absolutely piss-your-pants funny.

Having thought about the movie some more since I saw it on the weekend, I want to expand my original summary: its an unlikely but very successful marriage of The Importance Of Being Earnest with American Pie.

Go see it. It's great.

I have seen it. It sucks. And I am as entitled to my opinion as you are to yours, so deconstruct the movie all you like (which by the way, was very interesting, if pointless. I hardly think what is basically an adult teen sex movie deserves the same kind of treatment you'd give a Bergmann film). The topic isn't "Why Wedding crashers is the Greatest Movie EVAH!!!!1111!!", so get over the fact that there is someone out there that didn't like it.

Wow - it's a little toasty in here...

I think this will end up being a "wait for the DVD" movie. It's either this or "Charlie" this weekend and so far the chocolate factory seems a little more appealing.

Knock off the personal attacks!

The Husband-Type Man went to see this yesterday, and said that it was extremely funny... but he admits to being less-than-objective, because Vince Vaughn is totally his Boycrush.

I'll pass altogether. I'm not into The Butterscotch Stallion.

Now that's funny. I was kinda thinking it was him. How on earth did he get that nickname? I can only imagine.
