Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) is days away from his wedding and welcomes his bachelor party weekend as a chance to break free from the pressure from his Bridezilla fiancée Laura (Cameron Diaz). Things are as chaotic as expected in their hotel in Las Vegas — drink, drugs and a stripper.

However, trouble begins when Kyle’s friend Michael (Jeremy Piven) accidentally kills a stripper (Kobe Tai) in the hotel bathroom. When a security guard finds her body, he threatens to call the police but is silenced when he is stabbed to death with a corkscrew by Robert Boyd (Christian Slater). Boyd, a real estate salesman and recent graduate of a self-help program, takes charge of the group and devises a plan to dispose of the bodies by burying them in the desert. The group grudgingly goes through with the plan, but soon guilt and nerves begin to destroy the group and unravel their lives.

Upon returning from Las Vegas, Michael’s brother Adam (Daniel Stern) becomes convinced that the authorities have discovered the bodies and are closing in on the group. After he reads an article in a newspaper that mentions the security guard’s disappearance, and the fact that the man was a father, Adam attacks Michael and has to be restrained. Later, during Kyle and Laura’s rehearsal dinner, Adam cracks under the pressure, leading to another confrontation between Adam and Michael in the parking lot outside. The rest of the group breaks up the fight and convinces Michael to leave, but instead Michael decides to crash into Adam’s beloved minivan. Seeing his brother’s intentions, Adam darts in front of Michael’s Jeep at the last moment, hoping to stop him. However, Michael cannot swerve in time and Adam is crushed in the collision, to everyone’s horror.

Later in the hospital, a doctor asks Adam’s wife Lois (Jeanne Tripplehorn) to Adam’s bedside as his situation is critical. As the rest of the group follow, they see Adam whisper a few words to Lois before going into cardiac arrest and subsequently dying. Later that evening, a frustrated and increasingly psychotic Boyd ponders what knowledge Adam may have passed on to his wife, while Michael grows more despondent and unstable due to his accidental murder of his brother. Meanwhile, Kyle and Laura’s wedding grows ever closer and Laura’s stranglehold over the tiniest details of the wedding put an ever-increasing strain on their relationship. Read more
