Storyline

Angelenos Doug Billings and Tracy Garner are about to get married. Two days before the wedding, the four men in the wedding party - Doug, Doug's two best buddies Phil Wenneck and Stu Price, and Tracy's brother Alan Garner - hop into Tracy's father's beloved Mercedes convertible for a 24-hour stag party to Las Vegas. Phil, a married high school teacher, has the same maturity level as his students when he's with his pals. Stu, a dentist, is worried about everything, especially what his controlling girlfriend Melissa thinks. Because she disapproves of traditional male bonding rituals, Stu has to lie to her about the stag, he telling her that they are going on a wine tasting tour in the Napa Valley. Regardless, he intends on eventually marrying her, against the advice and wishes of his friends. And Alan seems to be unaware of what are considered the social graces of the western world...

Trivia

Actor Trademark: [Zach Galifianakis] [Chuck E. Cheese] Alan makes a joke about him not being allowed near schools or a Chuck E. Cheese, a direct reference to one of his staple jokes in his stand up: "When you look like I do, it's hard to get a table for one at Chuck E. Cheese." See more »

Goofs

Continuity: In the opening scene where Phil is talking to Doug's fiancée, the scratch on his lip is perfectly visible. When they show that same scene later on in the movie, Phil's scratch is still visible, and Stu and Alan are still dirty from the day before. However, the night before, they had cleaned up for the blackjack scene, and none of their facial flaws were able to be seen. See more »
