A movie made for straight men who wear ugly clothes, drink shitty beer and call women chicks isn't exactly for the LGBT crowd. But hey, this one is actually kinda funny! Well, kinda

Four guys a groom (Justin Bartha), his out-of-control bro-in-law (Zach Galifianakis), a playboy (Bradley Cooper) and an average Joe (Ed Helms) go to Vegas for Justin's bachelor party. But after one wild night, three guys woke up in the hotel suite with a hangover while the groom goes missing. Oh, there's also a tiger, chickens and a baby in the closet.

The party, believe it or not, has only just started. Zach, Bradley and Ed must now retrace their steps and figure out what exactly happened that night. The answers may have something to do with the naked Asian guy with a crowbar, the sexy stripper, Mike Tyson singing Phil Collins and a whole lot of crazies.

To be perfectly honest, we weren't too wild about this film. And the dude humor was a hit-and-miss affair for us. But the straight men sitting around us were guffawing so hard, it became infectious. Indeed, a couple of them laughed so hard that they cried one of those rare instances where we got to see ah bengs cry.

So if you're queer, make sure you queue up behind a group of guys and get seats right next to them. Alternatively, you can just skip the movie altogether.
