Stag


Like a cross between Zonad and Speed dating this is awful! A bunch of polite wimps go on a pre-marriage trip up the mountains and nothing happens. It's not funny, the characters are jerks, and it's too predictable. Even worse they make a big fuss about Ireland. This is a comedy made by all the 'right people' and it shows. Extremely bland and badly put together. For example there's a scene at the start where Huberman enters a lecture hall to talk with the lecturer and you just know that this lecture will end after a few seconds. Another early scene has the official wedding planner appear startled because the groom knows more about the layout than she does. That is reverse sexism, she realises that he's better than her at the job so she makes a derogatory remark to him. Then there's the part where The Machine says that Gleeson will cry to a U2 song and guess what happens later in the movie? It's like a derivative of a recent Hollywood formula movie with Irish accents. The only good part to this movie was talented actor Scott!
