User Review
One of the Darkest and Most Brilliant Films Ever
Rating: 10/10
I know why people hate this film. They are wrong, but I know why they
hate it. They take it too seriously. They are too easily offended. They
fail to pick up on the subtle little reminders that Peter Berg includes
every once in awhile to let you know, "hey, this is a comedy." The
story revolves around a main character, who is soon to be wed to a
dominating fiancé, who seems to love the idea of having a big wedding
more than she loves her her future husband. Well, our main character
and his four closest buddies are off to Vegas for one last night of
freedom and fun. In the group you have a pair of Jewish brothers that
hate each other, a confused mechanic, and a real estate agent that is a
cross between Anthony Robbins and Charles Manson. Well, not to give
anything away, but let's just say that some very bad things happen in
Vegas, very bad things, and how it will play out after that, well, it
is just too entertaining to watch. The acting in this movie is superb,
I mean great. The story is fantastic, with tons of hooks and switches.
Yes, there is violence and somethings happen, that if they occurred in
real life, well, you might be disturbed. HOWEVER, this is a movie! And
it is one of my favorite films of all-time. I give it a 10, without
hesitation.
