    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    You know all those horror stories about a cigar-chomping producer who screens a movie and says they need to lose 15 minutes and shoot a new ending? Wedding Crashers needed a producer like that.

    The New York Times Manohla Dargis

    Reasonably enjoyable until its guys are forced to grow up. Because bad behavior is usually more fun to watch than good, the movie is especially fine during the preliminaries.

    Variety Brian Lowry

    Despite flashes of nudity, crudity and mockery of women's raging hormones at the first sight of a trousseau, at its core it's just a big pushover with the heart of a chick flick.

    USA Today Mike Clark

    A showcase for Vince Vaughn's rantings and Owen Wilson's standard but affable chum act.

    The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

    The two key roles are wonderfully cast with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and the gross-but-not-too-gross humor will score with young moviegoers. But Wedding Crashers is still a letdown. The film never quite lives up to the promise of its premise.

    Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano

    Witty, unhinged and fearless, it's exactly the kind of movie we need now.

    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Funny, ungirdled romp - a buddy picture about buddies who actually know what women want.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

Iffy for 16+

This raucous, boisterous comedy is not for kids.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that the movie features sexual humor, imagery (bared breasts), and language (including slang for gay and lesbian sex and repeated uses of the f-word). There is lying, drinking, smoking, and sex (couples appear in various states of undress, including a bondage scene). The film includes a reference to "rolling a fatty," some rough touch football (hard tackling by a very competitive player, whom someone jokingly describes as being "on steroids"), a bloody beating, vomiting, attempted seductions of one man by his girlfriend-to-be's mother, an attempted homosexual seduction, and a woman's masturbation of her lover under the dinner table.

  • Families can talk about the lessons learned by John and Jeremy. How do they come to realize that their self-centered gallivanting is immature? How does the movie set up a contrast between their deceitfulness and that of Sack, who cheats at touch football and on his fiancée?
