Synopsis

Paul Morse is a well-meaning individual. When his friends throw him a wild bachelor party, he simply wants to remain true to his values—so he is taken aback when he wakes up in bed with a beautiful woman named Becky and has no memory of the previous night. Determined to keep his fiancée, Karen, from learning what may or may not have actually happened, he tells her a small lie. Soon, his falsehoods spiral out of control, and his life becomes a series of humorous misunderstandings.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
