A Few Best Men is a 2011 Australian-British comedy film written by Dean Craig and directed by Stephan Elliott. The film stars Xavier Samuel as a young groom heading to the Australian Blue Mountains with his three best men for his wedding.
When David Locking (Xavier Samuel) proposes to his girlfriend Mia Ramme (Laura Brent) a week after they meet in Tuvalu, he rounds up his three best friends (Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop, and Tim Draxl) to come to his wedding in Australia as best men. Soon, havoc ensues when the trio accidentally steal drugs, are chased by a mobster (Steve Le Marquand), and get the father-in-law's (Jonathan Biggins) sheep stoned.

A Few Best Men was met with negative reviews, earning an approval rating of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Fiona Williams of SBS noted that the film was as "Funny as a funeral", awarding the film one star out of five, commenting that "Like a bad wedding reception, A Few Best Men is overlong by at least an hour, and the flimsy plot groans under its own weight."
