Australian Stephan Elliot directs Laura Brent, Xavier Samuel, Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop, Tim Draxl, Olivia Newton-John, Elizabeth Debicki, Rebel Wilson, Jonathan Biggins and the ram Ramsy in this comedy co-produced by the United Kingdom and Australia, so there are actors from both countries. A silly and fun comedy and filming took place in Blue Mountains, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia and Piccadilly Circus, Piccadilly, Londres, . The picture contains silly happenings, tongue-in-cheek, grotesque situations and above all, humor. Dealing with a group of friends take a trip to celebrate a bachelor party, and a wedding during which they will suffer disconcerting events and rediscover themselves.
A team of Australian/British actors lead the cast of this riotous comedy in which a group of youngsters, friends from university, get together to celebrate a bachelor party and a wedding with unexpected results. Directed by Stephan Elliot and written/produced by Dean Craig , this is a fun and not at all politically correct cross between ¨Rough Night¨ (2017), ¨The Hangover¨(2009), "Very bad things" (1998) and ¨Weekend at Bernie's¨ (1989), also featuring supporting performances by Rebel Wilson as the rebel daughter, Jonathan Biggins as the unfortunate politician father and special mention for Olivia Newton-John interpreting an uninhibited 'mother of the bride'.
The film results to be a crazy comedy aimed at a twenty-something audience, with a festive, uninhibited tone, with sexual humor in dating and friendship situations; but the jokes don't work at times, turning out to be vulgar and simple. Dirty humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations such as sex jokes, bad taste and adult scenes , abounding sexual references. The actors son sympathetic and the directing is good, but the story is totally ridiculous, though there're brief laughs some times in the film. The film is average, but the fact is that it is also slighly funny. The characters are nothing more than stereotypes, clichés, with unbelievable performances that are not helped by a quirky plot.
The film was uneven but professionally directed by Stephan Elliot. Director Stephan Elliott is most well known for his comedy-drama film ¨Adventures of Priscilla, queen of the desert¨ (1994), one of two hit Australian movies released that year, along with Muriel's Wedding . Stephan ha made a few film with hits and flops, such as: ¨Easy Virtue¨, ¨Welcome to Woop Woop¨, ¨Eye of the Beholder¨, ¨Frauds¨ , ¨Rio, Eu Te Amo¨, ¨Black oasis¨, ¨Horizon¨, and ¨Swinging Safari¨. ¨A Few Best Men¨ (2011) rating: 5.5/10. Passable and acceptable but no notable.
