Walked out?have we sunk so low? - Wedding Crashers Reviews
And Hollywood is scratching their heads wondering why box office sales are down?
I went to this movie yesterday with my boyfriend and we got up and left before it was through. This movie made me depressed. I was disgusted to hear so many people laughing at this crude, horribly put together movie. I was a big fan of both Wilson and Vaughn, and had gone to the movie on the mere basis of loving them both as actors. Horrible story, horrible acting, absolutely no cohesive plot. Wilson and Vaughn have both lost an unquestioning fan. I was also shocked that the entire storyline portrayed women (as well as others) as idiot pawns, manipulated by 2 idiot losers in their 30s who have nothing better to do but to go to weddings they?re not invited to. The nudity throughout was totally gratuitous. I think we would have gotten the same idea even if the poor young actresses had kept their bras on. Not necessary at all to the storyline, though I?m sure the producers and director realized that showing boobs throughout would be necessary to keep everyone?s interest. It also portrayed a completely dysfunctional family who had so-called ?hilarious? mishaps around the ostracization of their homosexual son, witty jokes on infidelity in marriage, and the raging alcoholism of almost everyone involved. This is funny to us as Americans? Frankly, I think it?s sad. I can?t believe that this is what we pay for this as entertainment. Entertainment should be about fantasy, about escaping our everyday lives, but I would never want to escape to the dysfunctional world portrayed in movies such as ?Wedding Crashers.? The even sadder thing is that, from reading others? reviews, I see that some people think this movie is great, and Hollywood will probably keep making more baseless, shallow movies. Bring on the boobs, superheroes, and hi-tech spy movies?I think I?ll go rent some old classics.
