A few best men (2011) [7/50]




Language: English



Cast: Laura Brent, Xavier Samuel, Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop, Tim Draxl, Rebel Wilson



Story: Three friends accompany their friend for his wedding from England to Australia, where everything goes wrong on the wedding day.



Screenplay and direction: The direction is okay but the plot is weak hence the screenplay is not good.



Performances: Laura Brent, Xavier Samuel, Kris Marshall and Kevin Bishop were good enough in their roles, maybe a bit of hamming or overacting would have suited the movie a bit more. The movie didn’t do justice to their characters. The other actors were okay.





Interesting: The drug dealer was the only funny character in the movie.



USP: Maybe after getting high or drunk the movie might seem funny to some people.



Downside: The plot, the mindless chatter, the dull lines, the idiotic situations. A horrible copy of The hangover.



Verdict: The characters are un-relatable and one-dimensional. The plot seems like it could work but it doesn’t. There is no sense or humor. Since when is intentional animal cruelty funny? Its horrible from the word go. I am very liberal with movie but this one is not worth sitting through. It’s a lot of stupid people thrown in together doing idiotic unrealistic things with slim chance of amusing anyone. The lack of humor is the worst part. I kept waiting for it to have one funny scene but it dint. The movie as my sister rightly put it is “blah”. It’s an unfunny waste of time. I give it a 1/10. Miss it.
