    The Groomsmen captures a single, specific moment, when responsibilities await but adulthood is still unwelcome. If their predicament strikes a chord, you may want to join Burns' boys for their final hurrah.

    Burns' always impressive sense of place lends authenticity to the pals' perambulations, and the stellar cast brings a welcome overabundance of personality to regrettably one-note roles.

Mr. Burns excels in each assignment. The film also has a supporting cast consisting of Brittany Murphy, Jay Mohr (who overacts more than is needed), and John Lequizano.
