The Stag

2014 • 94 minutes

About this movie

Self-confessed metrosexual Fionnan doesn't want a stag do, but would happily attend the Hen. Ruth, the now concerned bride-to-be (Amy Huberman), promptly persuades the, marginally more-macho, best man (Andrew Scott) to organise one. Reluctantly, he agrees but proceeds to do everything he can to stop Ruths wildly infamous brother, known only as The Machine (Peter McDonald), coming along for their sober, walking-weekend, excuse for a stag party. But The Machine, not so easily foxed, tracks them down, and what follows is a hilarious few days in rural Ireland where the Stags find themselves lost, shot at, stoned and butt-naked. The Stag is a hilarious and heart-warming journey of friendship, fear, male bonding, and tightly fashioned squirrel skin!

Ratings and reviews

Watched this recently on a flight. Really enjoyable low budget film with great performances and quite a few laugh out loud moments. Would recommend.

Movie just got going/good towards the end, script just didn't do the cast any favours.

Wonderful actors. Story was a little drool at times but great craic to watch, very funny. Fantastic!! Would definitely re-watch.
