Kyle and Laura (Favreau and Diaz) are a couple to be married in a week, she wants everything planned to the finest detail, the perfect wedding, all he wants to do is marry the woman he loves, but not before having the ultimate bachelor party in Vegas with Boyd (Slater) his best buddy, and some old friends. The party has everything, booze, gambling, drugs and even a stripper/hooker who gets killed accidentally. The �105 pound problem�, as Boyd so eloquently puts it, becomes a lot heavier when he kills the security guard who finds out about it. Boyd then leads the gang into disposing of the bodies and tries to hold them all together in the days leading up to the wedding, but his attempts fail as the gang crack up whilst Boyd becomes more homicidal by the day. It�s just a question of will anyone make it to the church at all?
This is as black as humour can get. Forget Pulp Fiction, this is way weirder. A graphic portrayal of how one accident can have the worst repercussions and it shows how the sanest, most law-abiding people can become murderers and start to hack up bodies. Slater steals the show playing the unstable best man Boyd, who would have thought he could be convincing as a bad guy? The rest of the cast are okay, however this movie becomes increasingly annoying, as half the conversations turn into mass arguing and endless shouting making an unbearable racket. I really wanted to punch Daniel Stern in the mouth after ten minutes of him on screen! So this movie is as frustrating as it is emotionless, no one comes across as a whole human being, not one convincing performance among this endless killing spree, so you just don�t care about anyone by the end of the movie, which is just as bizarre as most of the film itself, and it is ultimately unsatisfying in an attempt to show the moral of �crime doesn�t pay�. |
