Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–17

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Most characters lie, cheat, and abuse trust; some learn the error of their ways.
  • Violence:

    Rough football and a beatdown, shot mostly in shadows.
  • Sex:

    Exposed breasts, sexual situations (including bondage and masturbation).
  • Language:

    Frequent obscenities and sexual slang, rendered comedically.
  • Consumerism:

    Visibly branded food and beverage products.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    At weddings, the crashers get drunk repeatedly; one reference to " a fatty."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Wedding Crashers

Parents need to know that the movie features sexual humor, imagery (bared breasts), and language (including slang for gay and lesbian sex and repeated uses of the f-word). There is lying, drinking, smoking, and sex (couples appear in various states of undress, including a bondage scene). The film includes a reference to "rolling a fatty," some rough touch football (hard tackling by a very competitive player, whom someone jokingly describes as being "on steroids"), a bloody beating, vomiting, attempted seductions of one man by his girlfriend-to-be's mother, an attempted homosexual seduction, and a woman's masturbation of her lover under the dinner table.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the lessons learned by John and Jeremy. How do they come to realize that their self-centered gallivanting is immature? How does the movie set up a contrast between their deceitfulness and that of Sack, who cheats at touch football and on his fiancée?

    I rate this title off for age 16 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    Horrible, never see it again not appropriate for any kids at alll.

    I really hated this. REALLY. I recently saw the unrated version, but I really can't imagine that it's that different from the theatrical version. The sex scenes were graphic, and raunchy. As much as I enjoy Owen Wilson and Christopher Walken as actors, this movie was not supported by the acting alone. They do a stereotype of a gay man, and the movie it self is predictable. It shows no good roles models, is not funny at all, and NOT appropriate for kids. There is graphic nudity, as well, the jokes are horrible, the story line isn't any better, there are no role models and if you even consider getting this movie for your kids, please don't. But, if you do, DON'T watch the unrated version. I'd give this no stars, for a tasteless, tactless, story, plotline, and overall movie. But since I have to I wish they'd allow half star ratings, since this doesn't deserve the one star I'm about to give it.

    GREAT MOVIE!

    This movie is great for thirteen years old. It just show a couple scenes of nudity for a short time, but other than that it could of been for 13 years old.

    a great movie

    this movie is just a fun stupid comedy with some funny situations i don't think the nudity is a problem because it is very brief just 3 seconds worth at most excluding the part where vince vaun is tied to a bed trying to get to sleep but gets raped in a funny way don't worry and another brief scene where a elderly lady show's her breast for a second nothing really explicit unless your just a plain old hard @$$.

    The movie is definentley meant for the older group. Not a movie for kids because it wouldn't make any sense to them. I loved the movie and reccomend it to anyone my age.

    Way over commercialized!!!

    The preview was hilarious! The movie itself wasn't so funny. It wasn't so bad overall (that is for adults). Not recommended for kids. I think i really expected it to be more interesting.

    over the top crass

    Shocked to see nudity within the first 15 minutes of the film Characters are incredibly shallow . . . and yet the film tries to make them likable, as if the bahavior is excusable. They all win in the end regardless of so many poor choices.

    The Funniest Movie.. ever.

    If you are a fan of movies like Old School, you will love this movie. Vince Vaughn is hilarious, and Owen Wilson is just as funny. I recommend this to anyone in High School or older.
