In reply to BKB...
Wedding Crashers... despite making more money than 40YOV it wasn't as good, quality-wise. I found Wedding Crashers far funnier than 40YOV, but I thought 40YOV was a better movie. The reason Wedding Crashers made more was because it came along at a time when us Americans needed an adult comedy. We were deprived of it for a while, and Wedding Crashers gave it to us.
