The whole night -- Things got outta control, and, uh... we lost
Doug." - Phil
Why watch this?
Anyway you slice it, this is one smart, funny film about quite a
bachelor party.
Plot Summary:
This is what happens when you have your bachelor party the day
before the wedding. In this film, if it can go wrong, it does,
when our five best friends take on Vegas after unknowingly
digesting "roofies". There's a kidnapping, a baby, a tiger, a
missing tooth, Mike Tyson, and an Asian mobster. The next
morning, the groom is nowhere to be found. The remaining guys
must retrace the foggy night, and remember enough, to find their
missing friend.

Dad's Preview:
There is a
freshness to this mystery comedy that Hollywood has been
missing. The film's wonderful cast plays it to the hilt
as they uncover clues that point them in many directions
during their evening of carnal debauchery. As bad as I
hate to admit it, I loved this flick. Sure it has
hilarious moments, but I really liked the chemistry of
the cast. It was a box office hit, and also spawned two
sequels. |
