Details

At his fiancée’s urging, a very modern Irish groom-to-be reluctantly agrees to a stag weekend with his friends, camping in the western wilderness of Ireland. Much to their chagrin, these modern men are joined by the brother of the bride, a crazy, unpredictable alpha male known as “The Machine”, and an explosive Id to their collective Ego. The Machine is a force of nature, and under his leadership, the men—stripped of modern comfort, convenience and, finally, clothing—must begin their journey into the wild.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
B N With a title like "The Stag" (or even "The Bachelor Weekend"), you get an immediate image of what is sure to come: bawdy male bonding with lots of heavy drinking and silly capering, carousing about town in search of more booze and strippers, all topped off with a cherry of inappropriate jokes at the expense of grooms and brides.But no. There's none of that. Well, not really. It is quite funny but also surprisingly emotional in a male-bonding sort of way. But not like in some misogynistic Hollywoodesque way with men spitting on the ground and getting into a barroom brawl. No. This is about sharing truths and staring life square in the face and manning up. Everyone in the film learns something.It's great.
lil-20 The Bachelor party is the most funny and most sweet comedy I have seen in the last years. I laugh out loud most of the time and I fell in love with the male characters. The Machine is by far the most lovable one. :) Well done, with "millenist" topics and characters ( see Fionnan, a real funny groom Godzilla). Their adventures is funny, goofy and very romantic yet not cheesy. The Bachelor WWeekend is that kind of movie that you keep in mind and heart and re-watch every time you feel you want to laugh and feel romantic. It is a movie about friendship, about modern women-men relationships. I definitely recommend it for everybody, no matter age, sex or other criteria. And, oh, hell, yes it is a good glimpse on nowadays Ireland.
Harriet Deltubbo My girlfriends and I were so excited to see this movie, thinking it was going to be a fun movie. Characters start to make bad decisions and one thing leads to another and so on. You get the idea. The Stag will either surprise or disappoint you, depending on what your expectations are. Still, it's a film BOTH genders can enjoy, and it shouldn't be limited to "a movie for the ladies." In the end, what the audience gets is a casserole of movie elements and little of the satisfaction that comes from watching these types of movies. The sound editing was weird to me. The main plot of the film was constantly being interrupted. Don't make a mistake of watching this film if you have any self respect.
harliquinz I sat down in the mood for a nice little light hearted comedy, as the previous reviews on IMDb had promised. A look at the nine and ten out of ten scores and an overall of 6.5 gave me the idea that if not brilliant, would have some laughs and be a decent film. How wrong I was. This is the sort of film that has adopted the 'all men are useless, clueless, fools, but in touch with their feminine sides' school of film making. The main characters are clunky, inept caricatures that one could have been forgiven for thinking that they had originally been written as pre adolescent girls, not grown men. Their ineptitude was the set up for the "comedy", which was just not funny and seemed very contrived. It all just served to irritate after a very short while and continued to do so as the film progressed. The line up consisted of some rather quite good actors and i'm not sure if it was the awful script, bed set ups, bad direction, miscasting or a combination of all the above, but non of their previously seen talent could have cut through this drivel with a chainsaw. I should think most of them will be embarrassed to have this movie on their C.V's. I think all in all, the high rating given to this film must be from interested parties skewing the figures and will in time even out when more people have faced the ordeal of sitting through this lame excuse for a comedy. i would avoid this one, go paint the fence or something, it'll be more productive.
