Hi Nana, I don't agree with you on the Direction of the movie. I'm not sure I know what you mean when you say the direction was misleading but I thought it was pretty much in line with the characters. I also thought that he paid alot of attention to detail (I loved some of the people at the wedding).
My opinion may have something to do with the fact that I like David Dobkin. (I have listened to the commentary on Shanghai Knights so many times that I feel like Dobkin is a personal friend.)

Nana, it's OK that you didn't care for Wedding Crashers. I'm just sorry to hear you didn't like it.
Just because we like certain stars doesn't mean we have to like all their movies.
Movies are so subjective anyway. One person's treasure is another's trash. ;D

MAC, maybe it was just bad editing, maybe I was on a bad day, I don't know...
Truth is I had grand expectations and I felt cheated cause I didn't like it, but as TG says above I don't have to like the movie just because I love Vince and Owen.
Btw, I like SK/Dobkin too, I just didn't like the final cut on this one.

Here more news:
Virgins far more hilarious than crashing weddings Snap, Crackle, Pudas! By Joe Pudas Published: Monday, September 19, 2005 Article Tools: Page 1 of 2
More than anything else, the summer of 2005 will be remembered for jumpstarting the renaissance of the R-rated sex comedy.
Until now, for every "American Pie" sequel, there have been a baker's dozen of flaccid farces like "Van Wilder," "Tomcats" or "Slackers"-a film so unfathomably bad it motivated "Slacker" director Richard Linklater to try and get its name changed in order to avoid confusion between the two.
I would argue that audiences wanted something a little more reined-in, a little less off-the-wall. Something with less emphasis on upping the gross-out ante and more on likable characters and raunchy but good-natured humor-which the hits "Wedding Crashers" and "40-Year-Old Virgin" amply supplied.
"Wedding Crashers" has just surpassed the $200 million mark and, financially speaking, it deserves its many comparisons to "There's Something About Mary." Its success was fueled by substantial word-of-mouth, it stars members of the Frat Pack and critics and audiences alike applauded it not only for its agreeable raunchiness, but for its sweetness as well. But is it really as good as everybody says?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed much of "Wedding Crashers," especially the beginning champagne/ejaculation montage, which itself sums up the essential appeal of the movie-watching Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crash weddings. But as this is a mainstream comedy, it's only a short wait until the wedding crashing stops and the moralizing begins; once the plot shifts into gear, "Wedding Crashers" becomes a rather leaden and unconvincing love story between Wilson and Rachel McAdams.
"Wedding Crashers" is almost always amiable, but it meanders and drags after a strong start, strenuously trying to juggle a supposedly sweet love story, a typical fish-out-of-water scenario, and a whole slew of diversions-including the prominence of McAdams' fiance's alarming abuse, a disconcerting subplot which seems like it wandered over from "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

Opps Doubled again Just to let you know. In the Jan 2006 edition of Empire. There is a review of Wedding Crashers and a lovely drawing of Owen. If anyone has a scanner and the magazine..........get scanning. Sadly i only have the mag. And the soundtrack for Life Aquatic is voted 5th best. No vote for WC in top 25 films though

In the December 26 issue of Us magazine, there is a full-page advert for TWC on page 39. Owen & Vince strike a somewhat different pose to the one we've all seen that appears on the TWC dvd.
