Storyline

- TriviaAdam Sandler was originally cast as Michael Berkow but dropped out at the last minute to make Cầu Thủ Xách Nước (1998). Jeremy Piven took the role.
- GoofsIncorrectly regarded as a goof. These guys also kill the hotel security officer, but no one seems to care that he is missing. The hotel would have a record of the noise complaint and that he went to the room to investigate. He had to have told someone. The investigation into his disappearance should have been quick and resolved easily.

Featured review
I thought this movie was going to suck. But I was wrong. This film ranks among the great dramedies (Dr. Strangelove, Little Shop of Horrors, American Beauty, The Cable Guy) by adding sharp comedy with horrific themes that in the wrong circumstances would make this a hard core porno/horror film. Plot involves a couple (Jon Favreu and Cameron Diaz) who are about to get married, but not before the bachelor party with friends Christian Slater, Daniel Slater and others with stripper (and actual porn star) Kobe Tai. It gets juicy after the party when the stripper gets killed, and body count (and laughter) come up in high dosage. Peter Berg makes a great debut as writer/director by making the characters all bad in equal ways, but also throughout the film trying to redeem they're problems (except for Slater who gives his best performance in a while). Fun all around, even if it's Charles Manson fun. One of the better films of the decade. A+
