Bizarrely paced and toned comedy that starts focusing on the lacklustre love life of the groom's friend but then makes a U-turn into yet another bachelor party comedy and it has all the intellectualism of the subgenre but none of the skill or the intelligence.
Flimsily built around a direly hateable character the writers seem to think is funny, we quickly end up in one painful and evitable situation after another but with none of the panache and charm that made The Hangover a hit.
A jagged script, bland characters, a revolting commitment to make this ugly painfest into a "heartwarming" comedy, at one point "The Machine" insists he will make U2 another characters favourite band and manages because the writers are gods in this universe.
It's not even one of those, so-off-the-wall-it's-somewhat engaging kind of trash. I fast forwarded through the more long drawn out sequences of bullying. Because that's what this movie basically is.
I know The Republic of Ireland only has 4 million people in it but I feel that if I can count the Irish movies I've seen on my fingers, none should be this bad.
Just watch Moone Boy if you want brilliant Irish comedy. I think the Machine in this movie plays the dad.
