Movies: Wedding Crashers

Earlier this week Linzy and I finally got around to watching Wedding Crashers. Paul and Laura were nice enough to loan us the DVD a few weeks ago.

Wedding Crashers was a movie that we never got around to seeing when it was in theaters this summer. The trailer amused me a bit, and a number of my friends saw it and gave it good reviews. But with Linzy's back surgery, we weren't able to get around to seeing it. So when we were given the chance to borrow the DVD, I jumped at it.

I ended up enjoying the movie, but I think my high expectations set me up for disappointment. I was expecting The Funniest Movie Ever, and while it had its moments, the movie wasn't as funny as I was expecting.

I did think Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn made a pretty good pairing in the movie, Vince's hyper-active style meshed pretty well with Owen's laid back style. Christopher Walken was also pretty funny.

I can't recall anything specific that I didn't like, but it just didn't grab me. Perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood for the movie the night we watched it, or maybe I was expecting too much.

[ Incidentally, I noticed the 'put your head in the video' technology that I first saw with the Wedding Crasher's site is also in use on Pepsi's Brown and Bubbly site. ]
