Premise

After his stag night, Neil Price (Clunes) wakes up naked on a remote Scottish island. The film follows his journey back towards his wedding, and the various characters and obstacles he encounters en route. It turns out that Neil's best friend, Gary, spiked his drink and dumped him on the Isle of Barra[2] to enable him to make his own move on Hilary and her well-to-do family.[3]

Reception

Time Out said that the film was a "low-budget farce has a frustrating tendency to set up promising situations only to squander them" but that the project was "amusing and eventful, none the less".[5] The review in Variety had a similar take, although it singled out Chancellor's character, Carmen, as being the best in the film describing her as having "more dark currents than a buttered bun."[6]
