The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Peter Berg's 1998 dark comedy stars Christian Slater, Cameron Diaz, Jon Favreau, Daniel Stern, Leland Orser, Jeremy Piven and Jeanne Tripplehorn. This tells of Kyle (Favreau) who is about to be married to fiancée, Laura (Diaz). Kevin goes with pals, Robert (Slater), Charlie (Orser), Adam (Stern) and Michael (Piven) to Las Vegas where they throw his bachelor party. Soon, things get very tense after a stripper (Kobe Tai) is accidentally killed and they decide to cover it up. Tripplehorn (Basic Instinct) plays Adam's wife, Lois. This is a pretty good flick with humorous, tense and dramatic moments. Slater & the cast are great and his twisted character sort of resembles his J.D. role in "Heathers." I recommend this.

It is a Very Easy Thing to Hate, this Blackest of Black Comedies. Even if You found it Outrageous, Deliriously Different, Scathingly Sadistic, and in Good Bad Taste, the Constant Yelling and Screaming in the First Half maybe its Biggest Fault.But the Movie is so Twisted and Demented the Watch is Worth it because it is Laugh Out Loud Funny in Parts and is a Guilty Pleasure at Least and a Triumph of Nighlistic Nastiness at Best. Nothing Quite Like it although it does at Times seem Influenced by Other Films of the Same Natural Tendency to Taunt the Viewer with Over the Top Tastelessness.But as Divisive as it is Delightfully Engaging it is one of the those Love it or Hate it Types that will Outrage Sensitives and Tickle those with a Penchant to go for the Jugular. Subtlety is Nowhere to be Seen and the Film Never Even Tries to be at all Friendly and Inviting. A Good Cast and Much to Say about Yuppies, Traditional Values, and Morals.Recommended for Cult Movie Lovers, Off Beat Seekers, and those who have the Constitution to Digest Very Bad Things that are Served as Sustenance for those Looking for Some Creative Cuisine and not just the Usual Helping of Popcorn and Sweet Drinks.

Here's, it's another wild bachelor party celebration in Vegas gone wrong. If familiar with an earlier B grade flick, Stag, here this more mainstream film pumps it up with a little over the top violence ( just check out the bathroom) as in the disposing of our hot Asian call girl. Favreau is great as the always indecisive bride to be, it must to be sheer relief to get away from the always nagging Cameron Diaz. She's so intolerable, any guy would be out of there in a minute. Very Bad Things is great as how our well written characters, deal with the tidying of the mess, Slater, an unbalanced real estate agent, the remorseless of them all. Soon a bigger mess evolves, when the gang's number starts to diminish, through accidental and malicious acts, or ones of sacrifice, until, only two men remain, with what's left of their life, it's hysterical. Honestly the death scene with Slater, desperately reaching for a door back into the church, where the ceremony's about to start, it looks as though blood was just slapped on him. By the cover you would misinterpret, Diaz and Slater being married, but be warned VBT, is really out there, humorous, but morbidly disturbing too.
