Four guys go to Vegas for a bachelor party, only to get mistakenly roofied; lose the groom; mistakenly marry a stripper; get stalked by an Asian gay mafia dude; and kidnap Mike Tyson's tiger. It is very funny and very crude; but as a departure from Judd Apatow's movies, the crudeness is not celebrated - their warped weekend adventures are seen as a near-embarrassment. For a buddy adventure comedy, it is somewhat slow-moving, but I mean that in a good way. The movie doesn't feel forced to laugh in every moment. There are some hilarious moments, including with Ed Helms tooth; the naked Asian jumping out of the trunk; loser Alan's constant hugs; the masturbating baby (yes, it's that crude - and funny); and the Rain Man spoof. The end credits are one of the best end-game reveals in some time.
