Davin (Andrew Scott) is taken aback: Ruth (Amy Huberman) commissions him to plan a bachelor farewell for her husband-to-be Fionnan (Hugh O'Connor) and to invite her fearsome brother "The Machine" (Peter McDonald) to come along. Davin, though, loathes bachelor parties and can stomach "The Machine" even less. Fionnan isn't crazy about spending a weekend in the rough Irish countryside with Davin, Simon (Brian Gleeson), Big Kevin and Little Kevin (Andrew Bennett and Michael Legge), either. Nevertheless, equipped with everything that is needed for such an outdoor adventure, the group of friends sets off, unsuspecting that "The Machine" will be the least of their worries. It is the beginning of a trip that none of them is likely to forget. (drei-freunde) (texte officiel du distributeur)

An absolutely excellent Irish comedy that perfectly and originally tells a story of one bachelor party. I tactically watched this film one day before attending my friend’s real life bachelor party. And I watched it mainly to know what can go wrong at such event. I have to admit I really liked the idea of organizing the party in an Irish countryside. The boys were crazy as they should be and The Machine delivered an ultimate bachelor party performance. The movie would actually be nothing without him. Seen based on Challenge Tour 2015.

The bachelor party is a textbook example of an outing that can go wrong with the (wrong) people and take on a completely crazy direction, and this comedy is proof of that. The main characters experience a number of (un)wanted episodes. The Machine is a true madman with a capital M, and he deserved a punch in the face at the beginning of the film. Apart from the funny sequences, dominated by the tent-buying scene and the "naked chase" in the woods, there was also room for a few dramatic moments. In the end, The Stag doesn't impress, but it doesn't offend either. Plus point for U2's “One”.
