A group of ten men come together for a bachelor party that goes horribly wrong in this made-for-TV drama.
Mario Van Peebles and
John Stockwell star as old friends Michael and Victor, both of them successful, well-off young professionals. The latter is about to be married, so Michael throws him a lavish party complete with booze, drugs, a pair of stripper sisters and some old friends that Michael would actually rather not see, including Pete (
Andrew McCarthy), a street-smart drug dealer. When one of the girls is accidentally killed and her handler is shot in the ensuing confusion, the group of men reacts in completely different ways. Timan (
John Henson) becomes completely unraveled, while others like Pete and Daniel (
Kevin Dillon) keep their cool and try to come up with a viable plan to handle their new "problem." A next door neighbor (
Jerry Stiller) who comes over to investigate the noise only compounds the problem.
Stag bore almost precisely the same plot as
Very Bad Things (1998), a more comic take on the story that was released theatrically one year later. The surviving stripper was played by former pop music star
Taylor Dayne. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
