"A Few Best Men" is a comedy movie released in 2011 directed by Stephan Elliott, who is well known for directing the cult classic "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Laura Brent, Xavier Samuel, and Kris Marshall are the lead actors of the film. David (Xavier Samuel) and Mia (Laura Brent) are a couple in love and decide to get married. David travels from England to Australia, where Mia's family lives, to meet them and attend their wedding. Mia's father, Jim (Jonathan Biggins), is a wealthy and powerful politician, and her mother, Barbara (Olivia Newton-John), is a kind-hearted woman with a quirky personality. Her three best friends, Tom (Kris Marshall), Graham (Kevin Bishop), and Luke (Tim Draxl), complete the close-knit group.
David decides to ask Mia's three best friends to be his groomsmen. Tom, Graham, and Luke are eccentric, unpredictable, and uncontrollable, which creates a series of hilarious events throughout the film. They are an unusual and atypical set of groomsmen, and their interactions with David cause him to question his decision.
The events start to unravel from the moment David and his groomsmen accidentally kill a kangaroo on their way to the airport. They try to stuff it in the trunk of their car, hoping to dispose of it later, but the entire vehicle is soon covered in blood. The group takes a detour to wash their car, but they end up losing the coffin with the kangaroo in it. From this point on, everything goes haywire, and the group's mishaps create one disaster after another.
Between drug use, sex, and other questionable behaviors, Tom, Graham, and Luke seem to be on a mission to ruin David and Mia's wedding. Their actions become more absurd and unpredictable as the big day approaches. Things become even more complicated when David's best man, who is supposed to bring the rings, loses them on the plane. David's father (Jonathan Biggins) flies to Australia to find the rings and return them to David.
As the wedding day approaches, the problems keep piling up. They discover that the wedding venue is a run-down house with no electricity, no working toilets, and a variety of other problems. They also discover that the marriage celebrant (Rebel Wilson) is not quite the professional they were expecting.
Throughout the film, the audience is taken on a journey of mishaps, misunderstandings, and mayhem, as the group tries to save the wedding ceremony amidst one disaster after another. The story is told in a hilarious way and will keep the audience laughing from start to finish.
The chemistry between the characters, especially the groomsmen, is superb, and each character plays their role exceptionally well. The comedic timing and dialogue are well executed, and there are no dull moments throughout the film.
