A very modern Irish groom-to-be reluctantly agrees to a stag weekend with his friends, camping in the western wilderness of Ireland. They are joined by the brother of the bride, a crazy, unpredictable alpha male. Under his leadership, the men — stripped of modern comfort, convenience and, finally, clothing — must journey into the wild.

Time Out London by

The Stag is formulaic and schmaltzy, and its endless gay jokes jar with its warm-hearted message – but it coasts along on an undeniable likeability.

Total Film by Andrew Lowry

It’s impossible to hate a film where the cast is so game, but you may struggle to remember it the morning after.

RogerEbert.com by Brian Tallerico

At its best not in its scenes of men acting like children or the beats that feel more written than organic but in its most believable scenes of joyful, male friendship in between the broad humor and melodrama. I just wish there were more of them.

The Telegraph by Tim Robey

This modest ladcom scores rather higher on the sincerity scale, much like a best man’s speech that fluffs the jokes but semi-accidentally gets a deep sense of friendship across.

The Dissolve by Vadim Rizov

The Bachelor Weekend plays as expected: Characters must start close, bond during their trip, have their friendship momentarily threatened, then cathartically make up right on schedule.
