A Few Best Men Review by Annabelle

    
 



From the makers of ‘Death at a Funeral’, comes this movie; a comedy which depicts a couple who meet and fall in love whilst on holiday, and who decide to get married in Australia. Xavier Samuel, stars as a Londoner named David who travels overseas to Australia to marry his ‘true love’ – ‘Mia’, played by Laura Brent. The rest of the cast consists of Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop, and Tim Draxl as the groomsmen and Olivia Newton – John as Mia’s mother. Rebel Wilson also stars in this comedy as Mia’s sister.

Unfortunately for David, his groomsmen cause havoc at the ceremony, ranging from taking the wrong bag (one that was filled with illicit drugs), dressing up the ram belonging to the Bride’s father and feeding it some of the drugs, to derogatory comments during one of the groomsman’s speech. There is even a scene where a best friend of David’s (after drinking quite heavily) drives a car into one of the large round bushes (ornament), causing it to roll down the hill and through the wedding reception. These are just a taste of the humorous events that took place during the movie.
I found this movie to be quite hilarious, despite other negative critics. It was a real laugh – out- loud comedy, providing quite a surprising plot and an interesting delivery to its audience. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie with its goofy characters and great selection of actors. The producer wanted you to expect the unexpected, and did a great job in confusing viewers on what would happen next.

I give this movie a rating of 4/5.
