"Very Bad Things" is a 1998 black comedy feature film, directed by Peter Berg. It stars Jon Favreau, Cameron Diaz, and Jeremy Piven, with co-stars Daniel Stern, Christian Slater, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and writer/director Berg.

Plot

Kyle Fisher (Favreau) is days away from his wedding and welcomes his bachelor party weekend as a chance to break free from the pressure from his Bridezilla fiancée, [http://www.slate.com/id/2094507/ Adam Sternbergh, "The Devil Wears Pearls: In recent movies, grooms across America flee their frigid fiancees", Slate, January 28, 2004] ] Laura (Diaz). Things are as chaotic as expected in their hotel in Las Vegas—drink, drugs and a stripper.

However, trouble begins when Kyle's friend Michael (Piven) has sex with the stripper (real-life porn star Kobe Tai) in the hotel bathroom. While having sex with her, he slips and slams her head against a towel hook in the wall, accidentally killing her. When a security guard finds the dead stripper's body, he threatens to call the police but is silenced when he is stabbed to death with a corkscrew. The group decides to bury the bodies in the desert, but soon guilt and nerves begin to destroy the group and their idyllic lives as each of them die or get injured by each other or their attempts to cover things up.

Film culture

This film falls within a cross-genre film type from the late 1990s and early 2000s in which grooms are saved, or nearly saved, from distasteful marriage.
