...script, by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, sends four guys - Doug the groom (Justin Bartha), plus Alan, his fiancée's oddball brother (Galifianakis), and Phil and Stu - to Las Vegas for a booze-babes-and-baccarat bachelor party two nights before the wedding. It'll be, one promises, a "night we'll never forget." Next morning, three of them come groggily to in their suite. With them are a tiger in the bathroom and an infant in the closet. Missing, to their horror, are the groom, one of Stu's front teeth - and any memory of what happened...
...every joke either is visible long before it arrives or extends way past its expiration date.

...just returned from my year traveling around Africa and had come back to a fairly dormant job market in the U.K. She said, " Ben, have a look. I think you've probably got what it takes to at least get through to the next round." We wrote a little script and headed out with a tiny compact camera and shot some footage of me jumping into a pond in the freezing cold. And I just tried to summarize what I'd done over the past few years and why I thought my application was suitable to get me through...
