everything you have heard about this movie is true.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I really enjoy black humour and this show satisfied me immensely. From the alpha male bullshit to the alpha male carnage, I was entertained from go to wo. It is a bit slasher, a bit cerebral, a bit python - what more could you ask for. I only hope they continue the story with another instalment.

I watched this with an open mind, I really did, but even after 10 minutes I could see how poorly written this was not funny (at all) and dull/unoriginal. With so much 'banter' in the dialogue, its as if the writers have never been out/engaged in any banter whatsoever. Just moment after moment of lot hoes and stupidity. E.g after the 1st death of one of their friends, it takes about 5 minutes before they forget and are singing/having a good time again, and then they seem surprised/shocked when something else happens. Ridiculous. This is beneath the BBC. Id probably not have left a review at all had it been on ITV!

If you imagine a Christopher Brookmyre novel, one of the crazy ones, dramatised by the League of Gentlemen, then are somewhere close to Stag. A bit larger than life in places, and there are a few parts of the plot where things don't quite stack up.Smart, stylish, quirky and enjoyable. Not a comedy in the conventional sense. Not your usual horror, or crime programme, or drama either.Some great characterisation. Some of the truly unlikable people change in your estimation as the series progresses. And the ending was a big surprise.Well worth a watch.

Stag is a fantastic mini-series. It's got good acting-, good- dialogue, good-(dark) humour. It's great. But, the last episode was a bit of a, how do I say this? Downfall.A lot of things didn't really make sense. I mean, the scene where Johnners is about to shoot the moss-covered, murderous psychopath, Ledge yells "SHOOT!" And Johnners gets shot in the leg. And NO ONE seems to question why the moss-covered, murderous psychopath who shows no mercy, shot Johnners in the leg? At fairly close range?Then we get to who the moss-covered, murderous psychopath is (and the clichés). To be honest, I didn't really mind who it was, I just wanted it to be someone within the Stag Party. And it was... sort of.I basically counted two clichés. I know that's not a very big number and I know that every movie, TV and mini-series has clichés, but it's always nice to point them out:1: Sophie (our moss-covered, murderous you get the picture) let's Ian go and and makes the deal of pretending that they never saw each other. Question: Why is she doing that? I mean, sure, he was telling her how Johnners betrayed Fran (Ian's sister and Johnners wife-to- be) and how he might betray her, too, but why believe him? I mean, he'll say anything to survive and get away from her. So why trust him? Because he's short?2: The death of Johnners. Well, not his death, exactly, just the fact that Sophie was doing it. Ian places a bag over his head, Sophie comes in (carrying total silence) and hey-ho-what do you know, Johnners starts talking badly about her. Sophie gets angry, lets Ian go and puts Johnners through a meat-mincer. And that my friends, is a giant cliché I hate seeing. Not the meat-mincer part, the 'talking badly about me ally' part.Anyway, I don't want to bang on but, hey, it is a review. Oh, and if you were to ask me which death was my favourite? Cosmo's. That was beautiful. Sad and bloody and scary but, beautiful. Okay, now I'm starting to sound weird. Sorry.
