The Bare Minimum

An unemployed thirtysomething turns his best friend's chaotic bachelor party into a desperate attempt to one-up the maid of honor who is hosting the bachelorette party on the same weekend.

Tucker Grant, 34, is a serial job-interviewer with nothing else going for him. He's unemployed, broke, and coasting on his charisma that's starting to run dry. When his best friend Will asks him to plan the bachelor party (chaotic groomsmen in tow) for his upcoming wedding to Lindsey, Tucker jumps at the chance to prove he's still got it, especially after crossing paths with Andi (Lindsey's high-achieving maid of honor (and Tucker's mysterious gym rival)). Andi is simultaneously throwing a perfectly polished bachelorette weekend in Cape Cod on the exact same weekend as Tucker's last minute bachelor cruise. Tucker must come face-to-face with his inner score-keeping nature and decide if he can be truly happy with what's right in front of him.
