Rather ADHD Review: Wedding Crashers - Page 2

And, like any movie of this caliber, one of the silly movie brethren shows up for a cameo at the end. I won't tell ya (but of course you could just go to IMDB.com and look it up and figure it out, idiot. The choice is yours. Whatcha gonna do? Spoil yourself! It's there! But wait ... you'd rather be amused. It's your call.)

What I didn't like so much

There were obviously some spots the movie could be cut. It seemed like the wedding-after-wedding montage took forever. (Yeah, we get it. They crash weddings. They get drink. They sleep with girls. Sounds like fun if you're a loser.)

And when our Vaughn/Wilson tandem hit rock bottom, it seemed like they stayed there for a while. (OK, we got it there too. Their life sucks.)

The movie never reached "Anchorman status" because not every character had a true comic reality. Too many of the characters were normal people (like the McAdams character and, sadly, Walken's character (I know, that's really depressing because he's a hoot (and you will say to yourself "You're gonna wanna hear that cowbell" or "Frankenstein never scared me" (did I just go into four pairs of parentheses? (No, five))))). In Anchorman, most character had a wacky comic reality except for the characters of Christina Applegate and maybe Paul Rudd (Oops, that last part should have been in parentheses).

But Wedding Crashers had the same humor, so if you liked one, you'll like the other.

(It's hard talking about a movie without revealing too many spoilers! Well, I think I got to 600 words without plotting too much. (Actually, 645.)
