Written by Dean Craig, the movie stars Xavier Samuel as a young, British groom who heads to Australia’s Blue Mountains with his three best men. Within hours of landing in Australia things go totally wrong. The cast also includes Olivia Newton-John, Rebel Wilson, Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop and Laura Brent. It was produced by Share Stallings.

“We’re thrilled at the film’s international success and the box office numbers A Few Best Men is bringing in,” Gary Hamilton, managing director of Arclight Films, said. “We’re looking forward to equally successful openings in Europe and South America soon.”
