“A few best men is a movie I picked up on the side from a course-mate at school. He seemed to have a taste for laugh out loud comedy like I do so my interest was to see it after he did.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, it may seem cliché d, it may seem borrowed in major parts from previous Hollywood block-busters (the hangover in particular and all best men movies in general), and it may have the stereotypical characters that make up the ensemble of a groomu0026#39;s-best-friends kind of movie; but my is it a hilarious movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story was not wholly original, even basically unoriginal in every sense of the word but its a comedy and it does hit its mark in that regard. It comes on right in your face, gets dreary and downright boring in places but picks up in spectacular fashion. If you are patient enough just as I was when I saw it, youu0026#39;ll get my point. As a whole, it doesnu0026#39;t come close to other movies of its kind in terms of cast and plot but with its laugh out loud moments, it can rival any or most Hollywood comedies and I assure you Hollywood directors could learn a thing of two from this bunch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts greatest strength is not in its characters, not in the cast either but in the cinematography and screen-play. Shot in Australia, it does well to capture major beautiful scenery and has good shot sequences.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are standout and believable moments for most of its characters and their actors though most notably Xavier Samuel. This is the only other media Iu0026#39;ve seen him in outside of the Twilight: eclipse and he does a decent performance as the groom. Laura Brent was also beautiful and captivating as the bride. Look out for the best manu0026#39;s speech that makes good work of some intertwined British/Aussie humour delivered in a hilarious fashion it will basically crack your ribs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt showed promise got flat at the middle and got downright hilarious in the third quarter. Iu0026#39;d recommend it for anyone who is a fan of dirty but plain laugh out loud comedy.”
