...Wedding Crashers, OWEN WILSON and VINCE VAUGHN tote fake Purple Hearts to score lusty bridesmaids, irking U.S. veterans who support a new congressional bill to ban such behavior. The vets aren't the only ones taking summer comedies very, very seriously...
...sucker would have to cringe. Still, this isn’t your typical “There’s Something About Mary”-style gross-out comedy with a bit of love on the side. As charter members of the Ben Stiller posse, co-stars Wilson and Vaughn serve up enough scatological humor to go around, but a large, and better, portion of the movie is devoted to the beautiful path to finding your soul mate...

Both Wilson and Vaughn can do comedy and, even if the best moments showed up in the previews, there are a few gems worth paying for. And as often as Vaughn’s “I’m-shit-crazy-and-yelling-really-loudly” shtick succeeds, you still wonder whether he has some sort of facial tick...
...chemistry hits a home run. Not just with Wilson and McAdams—a natural demeanor goes a long way in making romance work—but with big ol’ softie Vaughn. Choosing not to make too many juvenile and so-10-years-ago allusions to a homosexual love for laughs (a choice neglected in the case of Claire’s brother), Dobkin lets the two actors create a real friendship. Like all good buddy movies, the girls are mainly diversions, allowing male viewers to avoid the squeamishness of going on a man date...

Until that time, we’ll have to settle for “Crashers” and hope that its genial cast and decent infusion of laughter—not to mention more than a few blubber-worthy moments for the romantics—fulfills our expectations...
