This is 'Weekend at Bernies', with much less budget. I wanted to like this, but for the most part, it was just not funny. To sum up: four friends are at a wedding in Australia, when one is killed, they are told to return the body to England, in one piece, or they will be toast. Of course things don't go smoothly. There are many elements of this movie that appear in 'Death at a Funeral': corpses, drugs and lost bodies being but three. The script is no deeper than that! I think I laughed twice, the rest of the time I was cringing at the appalling script. I managed to watch the entire movie, although I was nearly tempted at the 36 minute mark to switch off. There is nothing original about the movie, it seems a blatant, low-budget attempt to copy the aforementioned movies. It falls short of both. It's not un-watchable, if you are easily pleased.

This movie makes you laugh
vishalfrombombay28 March 2021
For me its a simple thumb rule - if a movie makes you laugh - like "really" laugh - more than 3 times - its worth watching. Especially considering the scarcity of funny movies being released these days. Slightly less funnier than the first part. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure about the few reviews being overtly negative - that's one of the reasons why these days production houses are shying away from making slapstick/silly comedy movies. Comedy movies are best enjoyed by keeping your brains aside. They are not supposed to align with reasoning.
Kris Marshall kinda seemed uninterested throughout the movie, but the rest of the actors played their part. Editing could have been better. Cinematography was ok. Definitely a one time watch.

Stupid but watchable

I'm not going to say there is anything smart about this movie.
It's a dumb, gross out movie of a type that thinks missing out on a threesome is automatically funny.
But I still watched it. I like stupid movies. It's fine for something to watch when you need a good no-brainer but I would watch it on a weekday, do not make it your Friday movie.
Watch it a little drunk.

Awful. Just awful.

I like comedy's, I like a big range of films and I like low budget films, I wanted to like this film but it was terrible. I switched it off after 40 mins. I couldn't deal with how poor and cringey the script was. The jokes were so bad, not even Christmas cracker worthy. I think a 5 year old could've wrote a better script and had more intelligent comedy.
Honestly, if you don't fancy wasting your time, do not bother with this movie.

Am I the only one that wants to paint over the poster and write "A few fewer men"?

Dire and excruciating sequel with no grasp of humor beyond embarrassing situations and missing out and stuff you might have enjoyed.
I just do not care about the characters enough to really invest on any emotional journey they're on.
As appealingly anarchic the first movie was, this movie is a curiosity: they actually followed through on the final gag: to actually have the character die which is at once really jarring and fascinating. They had no idea where to go with the idea though and the whole thing is just a parade of loose ideas crudely stapled together.

Well I thought it was good

unfunny and just terrible
ilovemovies201614 June 2020
The single most unfunny comedy I've ever seen in my life not one laugh switched off multiple time to look at my emails as that was more fun than this movie. Acting was not great even though the cast was not bad at all this movies was very unconvincing and unfunny
1 star for cast and 1 star for being short, so I don't need to deal with this movie anymore
2/10 would not recommend
