After Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, we didn't hear a huge amount from director Stephan Elliot, partly because he nearly died in a skiing accident. However he returned a couple of years ago with the British period comedy, Easy Virtue. Now he's helmed a full-on Anglo-Australian production with A Few Best Man. When David (Xavier Samuel) journeys to Australia to marry the love of his life, Mia, he invites his three best mates – Graham (Kevin Bishop), Luke (Tim Draxl) and Tom (Kris Marshall) – to travel with him. Having barely met his bride-to-be, they aren’t too impressed at the thought of losing their best friend to married life on the other side of the world but resolve to give him a send-off to remember. After a final carnage-filled stag night the big day arrives and the trio of ill-prepared best men end up giving a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘for better or worse’ as a chaos-filled wedding, complete with a deranged drug dealer, a cross-dressed sheep, a coked-up mother-in-law (Olivia Newton John) and possibly the most disastrous speech of all time, threaten to derail the marriage before it’s even begun! The movie hits UK cinemas August 31st.
