The day before the wedding of Elise and Michael in LA, their college friends gather to attend the bachelor and bachelorette parties and then the ceremony the next day.
Rich and Samantha are the best man and maid of honor, and themselves a couple, although Rich is wary of the idea of marriage, while Samantha is pushing him to consider it, while hiding her pregnancy from him. Sam Malone, nicknamed “Pockets” because he can always find the right item in his pockets (and to mask the fact that he’s named similarly to the protagonist from Cheers), is flying in from Thailand, still harboring an unrequited love for neurotic Lana since their college days, when she broke his heart.
The group also includes Quentin, a spirited film agent, and Simon Black, a self-important movie star who shows up in the company of Franklin Brauner, director of his next project, described as “a metaphysical western, sort of El Topo meets The Matrix”. Jennifer, who comes from London, was Elise’s one-time girlfriend in college. She is still in love with her and tries to prevent her from marrying Michael. During the day, Michael’s estranged father Jonathan also shows up, hoping for reconciliation, but is rebuffed.
That night, the men and women separate to go to their respective parties. The guys go to Vegas on Simon’s private jet, while the girls stay at Elise and Michael’s. Once they’ve reunited, Quentin stumbles onto Elise’s sister Sarah, who came earlier as a surprise, and has sex with her not knowing she’s just 17. Pockets confronts Lana about his hurt feelings, then has a fight with Simon, who’s particularly condescending toward him, and ends up in jail after soliciting an undercover cop.
