has anyone seen Wedding Crashers?
My mom wants to see it on Sat with me, but if its raunchy, I'll pass, I watched American Pie with her and saying it was uncomfortable would be an understatement.

1. ha..that sounds like me watching "philadelphia" with my
rightwing homophobic father.( Philadelphia is a movie where Tom Hanks plays a gay man dying of AIDS if you are not familiar with this movie,btw) but , no, I haven't seen the movie you are asking about so i can't comment. your post made me think of this, though. :hi:

2. not really raunchy
there are a couple of boobies, and a thinly veiled masturbation scene, and a little humourous bondage play. it's not realy about sex.

7. That is one line that lasts 3 seconds in a 90 minute film
It is really not bad. The first 15 minutes contain a montage with several scenes of nudity. Basically you view a montage simultaniously of several weddings they go to and watch them employ tricks to bed women and then the women fall onto beds with them in various states of undress. This scene lasts maybe 7 minutes, and it has maybe 30-45 seconds of nudity, involving 6 or so women.

the rest is rather tame. Lots of funny sex joke and there is one scene where Vince Vaughn is masturbated through his pants by a girl while they eat dinner with her family. That may be too over the top for you, but I would watch this film with my mom.

9. It's kinda juvenile crude at the beginning and end
I liked it better than I thought I would. The storyline was funny. Don't know if you would want to see it with your mom though.

I saw it with my 22 year old son and his girlfriend. We all survived. I'm pretty open minded. I did feel a twinge of ick watching it with my son. It was only briefly though.

10. I liked it but I'm not sure I'd watch it with my mom...

It's not that bad, (at least I didn't think so but everyone's definition is different). It had a few nude scenes but they go by pretty fast and aren't very graphic. Some definitely crude moments but also some funny cheesy moments. I'd say more funny cheesy than crude.

Not the best movie by far, but decent enough way to kill a few hours on a hot summer day. I found it enjoyable, especially Vince Vaughn.


(please note: my white hot love for Vince Vaughn may have contributed slightly to this asessment
:D )

edit: my white hot love for Vince Vaughn also may have contributed to typos & a lack of overt love for Vince

11. It's a silly, funny, rude at times, typical Wilson/Stiller/Vaughn
concoction. I thoroughly enjoyed it and got exactly what it was I was looking for - a few good belly laughs.

Having said that, I will warn that there is "cursing" in the movie and a couple of somewhat rude jokes thrown in for good measure, but all in all, good fun.

Personally, I love the crudeness.
