    Actor/writer Peter Berg (acclaimed for his role in The Last Seduction) made his directorial debut with this very black comedy that's certainly not for the easily offended. Berg brings together a cool cast — Christian Slater, Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Leland Orser, Jon Favreau — for a twisted and hilarious tale of mayhem that begins when bridegroom Favreau and his pals embark on a stag weekend in Las Vegas, before his marriage to the beautiful but ruthless Cameron Diaz. Their booze and drug-fuelled party goes awry, however, when an unfortunate accident leaves them with a dead stripper on their hands. Before long, friends are pitted against friends and the body count rises. This gruesome tale is propelled by a sharp script and topnotch performances, especially from Slater and Diaz, and those with a warped sense of humour should be enthralled.

    • Radio Times
  • Gruesome black comedy, of homicidal mania let loose, that escalates into a very sick joke; it will be enjoyed by those who find dead people funny.

    You feel bad for laughing

    This film is great, an all time favourite of mine, absoloutley hilarious, in a way that you feel you shouldn't laugh but you just have to.

    My partner wasn't too keen on it, but when I watched it before it was recommended to me by a bloke and I said I didn't think it was my sort of thing, (me being the romantic comedy lover), but it was great.

    Although it isn't classed as a comedy, it really and truely is.

    The ending is the best ending of a film that I have ever ever seen, I'd watch the whole film again just for the ending.

    Although, you wouldn't of thought so from the type of film, it leaves you happy and smiling.

    FANTASTIC film, strongly recommend you rent it now.

    The only reason I've given it 4 stars is because my partner didn't enjoy it as much as 5, but I found it excellent!

    Rent it now, and I'm sure you won't regret it!
