By then Bullock's film will also exceed the theatrical earnings of Duplicity, the comeback film of Julia Roberts, Bullock's main rival over the past 15 years as Hollywood's (token) star actress...
Four guys--the groom (Justin Bartha), his fiancée's oddball brother (Zach Galifianakis), a henpecked friend (Ed Helms) and the token normal guy (Bradley Cooper)--go to Las Vegas for a booze-babes-and-baccarat bachelor party two nights before the wedding.
