    Hilarious and Gross Comedy
    While traveling to be the groomsmen in the wedding of their friend Scott (Michael Trucco), the wolf Dewey (Alex Nesic) proposes two bets to his monogamist friend Jay (Christopher Wiehl): if he had sex along the weekend he would give his valuable convertible car to Jay; and if Jay did not score any woman in the same period, he would date Jay's sister. They arrive in a huge property with their loser friend Phil (Duane Martin), and the trio is introduced to the bridesmaids. When Jay meets the fiancée Reese (Lisa Brenner), he realizes that she is his former sweetheart and passion. Along the weekend, the bets and the love of Jay for Reese gets the guests into very complicated situations.

    "The Groomsmen" is a hilarious and gross comedy, in the same level of the "American Pie" franchise blended with romantic comedy. The politically incorrect jokes are mostly about sex and of low level, but I laughed a lot. Jennifer Gareis is extremely sexy and her scene having sex with her French teacher recalled a particular scene of "Clerks". The misguidance of Jay about her fetish in the bathtub scene is one of the most hilarious I have recently seen. This film offered exactly what I expected and I really liked. I have not recognized Charisma Carpenter in the beginning of the movie. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Do Que Os Homens Gostam" ("What Men Like")
