Is Wedding Crashers any good?
I took the DVD back today without viewing it to avoid late fees.

Should I pay for it a second time?

3. There are definitely some funny moments. Not a perfect film.

4. I enjoyed it
It was funnier than I thought it would be. Vince Vaughn was on his game, if you like his schtick. There were definately a number of points during the movie that I laughed out loud.

6. We tried watching this last night...
We made it through about 5 minutes before looking at one another saying "neeeext."

7. The first 10-15 minutes I could do without
It had so little to do with the actual movie. It was like an opening sequence to establish the characters that normally goes for about 30 seconds or a minute during some credits but stretched on and on and on...I could have done with far less of it, but the really funny stuff didn't come till they really focused on the one wedding and it's aftermath.

8. It was better than I expected.
Not a must-see or anything, but it's not horrible.

9. If you like..
.... gratuitous shots of several really nice pairs of tits, it's ok.

Actually, the premise is pretty funny is not somewhat predictable. If you like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn at all, you'll like it.

It's a fun movie, but nothing you'll remember or anything :)

10. Not that good
I was disappointed. I like either art house type stuff or really stupid and funny, so one would think I'd be all over that one. Luke Wilson spent the movie mugging, and Vince Vaughn -- well, here's some recommendations for the next time you're at the DVD store.

"Legally Blonde" or "Election" Reese Witherspoon, and the more talented of the Wilson brothers is in "Legally Blonde". "Election" is probably Reese Witherspoon's best role yet.

"American Wedding" Totally crass and really, really funny.

"High Fidelity" John Cusack, great soundtrack, funny and thoughtful

"Sideways" Crass and funny.

"Slap Shot" Completely unsuitable for children. You'll laugh till you cry.

12. there were a few really squirmy moments - I don't like it
when characters are in "I Love Lucy" -type situations but I liked the Vince Vaughn character, and the whole thing is almost worth it entirely b/c of Christopher Walken.

Sure, it's not a bad way to spend a few hours. Go ahead and rent it again. I thought it was funny enough.

16. It's OK. Vince Vaughn plays the same funny character as he usually does.

It wasn't knock down funny by any stretch, but it did have it's parts.

EDIT: To spell his name correctly.
