A Few Best Men

Though unoriginal, but with a good cast, A Few Best Men is fresh and still entertaining with a lot of jokes, ranging from infantile and forced to more mature (compared to American Pie) and hidden in the background. Everything is in the right place and fulfils its purpose of undemanding entertainment. Three and a half stars. (06/14/2012)

I like British comedies, definitely have nothing against them. Moreover, comedies about a group of young boys who want to lose their virginity, or in this case, their freedom, have been quite popular lately, even in terms of quality. From a relatively recent time, for example, "The Inbetweeners" made me incredibly entertained because their humor went to the absurd, crossed certain boundaries, but in a way that made you laugh. Or you left disgusted. I was one of those who laughed. In the case of the movie "The Sapphires," the feelings are more conflicting, although even "The Inbetweeners" didn't make such an impression as I expected. However, "The Sapphires" suffer from the fact that sometimes they are simply boring. Maybe it's because the authors tried to introduce us to a new - Australian - environment, or maybe it was trying to find all possible plotlines. In the end, it turns out that the funniest plotline is the one with the ram, which is truly brilliantly crazy and has excellent progression. The romantic story is somewhat in the background, and I admit that I didn't really care how the couple ended up. Once again, I liked the group more, even though they are once again real losers. Just by looking at them. I don't know if you will root for all of them, but they can entertain you at times. It's just a shame that it's only at times. The cameo appearance by Olivia Newton-John is quite pleasantly surprising. It still suits her at her age, and she can make fun of herself. And one more thing that I have to highlight - the music score is definitely worth mentioning. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/08/parmeni-krysy-z-temnot-mi-4-blazniva.html (02/26/2013)

I would say that as every country has its guilty pleasures when it comes to comedies, Australia has its A Few Best Men. It was a great flick for me. (03/20/2019)
