Stag

a review by ErikThaRed

“Stag” arrives in the shadow of “The Hangover,” though this tale of bachelor party shenanigans emerges from the Canadian film industry. Just how Canadian is this movie? Well, there’s a stripper, but she remains clothed for 99% of her screentime and the feature ends with a father reaffirming his love for his family. “Stag” isn’t exactly a raunchy explosion of men behaving badly, and it’s not all that funny either. True to its Canadian heritage, it’s mild stuff, hoping to come across triumphantly ill-mannered with erection jokes and the occasional curse word, missing a devilish spark that could amplify its tightly mittened tomfoolery to pleasing extremes.
