Kevin is a geeky, naive teenager down on his luck when his high school sweet heart leaves him right before his older sister’s big Hawaiian wedding. Dante, Kevin’s super smooth future brother-in-law wants to cheer Kevin up by dragging him out to Dante’s bachelor party. What seems like a great opportunity for future bother-in-laws to bond in the beginning, quickly takes a turn for the wild, outrageous and unpredictable. Will Kevin survive a night of strippers, angry Samoans, and um, fireworks? A wedding depends on it, and what happens next is da kine, brah.
