During the first ten minutes of Wedding Crashers, we are treated to a display of the debauched antics that were staples in comedies of the late 1970s and 1980s. Alas, it's only a tease. Pretty soon, this movie settles into the comfortable groove of telling its story - a by-the-numbers romantic comedy that's far too plot-heavy for its own good.

"Wedding Crashers" is all runway and no takeoff. It assembles the elements for a laugh-out-loud comedy, but it can't make them fly. There are individual moments that are very funny. But it takes a merciless focus to make a good comedy, and the director, David Dobkin, has too much else on his mind.

Think of all the loopy eccentrics Walken has played, and then look at the clan his character in Wedding Crashers has sired. The tally: Just about the number of jokers you'd expect to get from shuffling the deck of the actor's screen gene pool.
Mike Clark
Cinema Blend
The movie works well because the cast has great chemistry together, and the script is smart and surprisingly full of depth mixed in with a wide variety of fresh sex jokes. Fresh is the operative word there, sex comedies have been done to death and it’s amazing that anyone, even the ad-libbing duo of Wilson and Vaughn has managed to find new material.
