Bachelor Party Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 13 Reviews)

Unless you're an imbecile, HIV-positive lawyer, or astronaut, there's not much you can learn from Hank's more acclaimed movies. The same can not be said for Bachelor Party, however. At some point, most guys will have a bachelor party and this movie serves as a great guide to planning one:

"Let's have a bachelor party with chicks and guns and firetrucks and hookers and drugs and booze!"
"Yeah! Yeah yeah! All the things that make life worth living for!"

There's a lot more you can learn from this movie too. For example, guys, if your in-laws are pressuring you to have kids, just respond as Hank's Rick does:

"Well, there's this 17-year-old Oriental girl I have my eye on. But don't worry, you'll have some American grand kids in no time - I know this pup's fertile."

Buy this movie (and if you do and can figure out exactly what Rick's going to do with that egg beater, please e-mail me).

Tom Hanks at his best!
I think Tom Hanks is one of the best actors out there, but not because of Forrest Gump, Philadelphia or Saving Private Ryan. Those are all amazing performances and amazing films, but not what I consider the magic of Tom Hanks. In my opinion it is his comedic genious, and Bachelor Party is the best example. It is histerical, right up there with Animal House. Basically Tom Hanks is about to get married and his friends throw him a bachelor party the way every guy dreams his bachelor party will be. It doesn't start out that way though. Hanks and his gang overcome just about every obsticle in the cliche book. His girlfriend's father hates him, her ex-boyfriend is trying to ruin the fun, old flames are coming out of the past, and no one is showing up for the party. In the end everything works out, but not before an adult film gets wasted, a friend trys to kill himself, another friend hooks up with a transsexual, the bride to be crashes the party, her father crashes the party, her exboyfriend ends up hanging naked out a window, and the usual sex, drugs, hookers, kidnapping, police, and dead donkeys that go along with the territory of a mans last night of freedom. A classic picture that captures the true essence of the American bachelor party. I laugh just thinking about it.

Clever and 50% Less Raunchy ... To A Point
Not quite as raunchy as a movie of this topic could've been, BACHELOR PARTY has equal parts 'raunch' and 'trash' as it does 'feel-good' laughs ... and that's largely due to the charm of its star, a young erstwhile Tom Hanks long before he was a media darling and an Oscar contender.

In as unlikely a scenario as has ever been filmed, Hanks -- a school bus driver -- has snagged a voluptuous heiress to be his winning bride, but not before Hanks' rowdy friends carry through on their plans to throw -- you guessed it -- a bachelor party, hence the name of the film. Enter the obligatory hookers, horse jokes, and a nerdy ex-boyfriend, and the laughs begin.

Sure, it might be predictable, and, yes, it might be dated, but BACHELOR PARTY still has some classic yucks worthy of a cult film. Definitely worth the view.
