Their attempts to relive their glory days lead to a chaotic and drunken night that threatens to derail the entire wedding.

Horrible movie!!! It is one of the least funny comedies I've seen in my life. The dirty language is not helping at all and it seams they use only to make the movie look cool or to shock the audience and it feels like that - very unnatural.
