so...we really thought wedding crashers was this funny?

Don't get me wrong, I laughed. But shouldn't it have been way better? And shorter? Did we really need what felt like an hour and a half of Vince Vaughn trying to make amends with Owen Wilson? And speaking of...The Butterscotch Stallion is looking a bit tired, no? His weathered handsomeness a little too weathered, his hair a bit stringy and the cut forced, and his nose...well, still really weird, but without the prior distractions from it? You know, I'm just going to come out and say it. Rachel McAdams is way too hot for the stallion. And it's a detail that could have been overlooked, with a bit of story tightening (why oh why does he go to the engagement party and get beat up again?) and a solid punch up. Alas, Hollywood. Opportunity missed. You shall be punished for this crime with...an incredibly profitable theatrical run. Oh well.

I couldn't agree more.

The movie was definitely 30 minutes too long and the "shout" montage was excrusiatingly long and overdone.

There were some funny parts but there were many more that weren't.

My favourite line of the movie was when Vince Vaughan's character said, "I had my own sock duct taped in my mouth."
For some reason that cracked me up. But as far as it being called the funniest movie of the year, I think not.
