Films like Wedding Crashers.

Wedding Crashers (2005) reads as Warm, kinetic, measured comedy / romance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
