Chris Martin has a problem: his impending marriage. Like any other man about to enter into the holy vows of matrimony, Chris has begun to second guess himself. Is married life what he really wants? While his bride-to-be takes care of the wedding plans, Chris returns to the neighborhood of his youth to consider his married future and to spend one last week of bachelorhood with his four high school buddies: Ray, Ash, Todd and Sean. Together, the reunited "Five Aces" enjoy a funny bittersweet week reminiscing about a time when they had all the answers... only nothing turned out the way they planned. As the week's events unfold, the Five Aces begin to realize exactly what life and friends mean to each other.
Acting
Charlie Sheen actually trying in a dramatic role? Surprisingly watchable.
Writing
Dialogue that feels like actual dudes talking, not Hollywood's idea of dudes.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was David Michael O'Neill's only feature directing credit; he spent most of his career as a TV writer-producer on shows like Nash Bridges.
Released the same year as American Pie, this is the forgotten, sadder cousin of 90s 'one last ride with the boys' cinema—less pie-fucking, more actual fear of adulthood.
