Stupid. stupid characters. crude sexual humor bad - Wedding Crashers Reviews

I'm a fan of dumb-funny movies such as "There's Something About Mary" and even the recent "Dodgeball". But this movie was just stupid and poorly done. The concept is sound and could have been excellent. But the direction was very poor. The sexual material was not done with taste, partly because the characters portrayed in the movie are just pathetic to be acting that way in their late 30s. The crude sexual humor in "American Pie" works because the characters are adolescents. For example, the jackoff scene at the dinner table was dumb and unnecessary. I usually like Owen Wilson's acting, but he didn't do well in this movie. Vince Vaughn was a bit better. It had a few laughs and some moments, but frankly I was disappointed.
