The critical consensus

An inevitable attempt to repeat The Hangover’s formula, the characters range from being limp and featureless to crudely moronic. As appealing as a cigarette in a beer can.

**(*)(*)(*)David Hughes, Empire Online, 27/08/2012

Little more than the latest lame attempt to replicate the success of The Hangover.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 30/08/2012

It's all so very charmless.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 31/08/2012

Situated in the stunning Blue Mountains, it’s also easy-on-eye.

***(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express, 31/08/2012

It's all oddly low-energy, climaxing in scenes of almost offensively unearned emotion.

**(*)(*)(*)Phelim O'Neill, The Guardian, 30/08/2012

The setting is as beautiful as the goings-on are clumsy and grotesque. When embarrassment fails to be funny, it ends up as truly excruciating, and such is the case here.

Philip French, The Observer, 02/09/2012

‘This is supposed to be the most memorable day of my life,’ whines David at one point. For the sake of everyone involved (including the audience), we hope he’s wrong.
