For his bachelor party, a man goes to Vegas with his buddies. Hilarity ensues...sort of. The film tries very hard to to be funny but fails to deliver many laughs. It is entertaining and provides enough amusement to keep it from dragging. The script consists of a series of vignettes that don't all come together the way they do in the best comedies. The sophistication level of the comedy is pretty low, a step above "The Three Stooges," and there is a sense of deja-vu to it all. There is a Vegas segment in the 1999 comedy "Go" that is more amusing that anything here. The main source of laughs here is the doofus brother-in-law played by Galifianakis.
