... View MoreI wanted to like "Bachelor Party" more than I did. It has a few genuinely funny moments, which is a few more than most sex comedies, but I found it really hard to sit through.The problem is that the characters are screamingly obnoxious. Literally: they spend most of the movie screaming. Everything they do involves screaming.The plot is about a bus-driving goof, played by Tom Hanks, who is set to marry a rich babe who he could never have conceivably met. Her family isn't pleased and enlists a jerk to take Hanks out of the picture. Of course, the jerk has blonde hair. Why do rich jerks always have blonde hair in these movies?Actually, that's more of a subplot, I guess. The real plot is about the party. The goof's obnoxious friends plan a party in the first half of the movie, and hold the party in the second half. It just gets crazier, so credit to the filmmakers for delivering.Aside from Tom Hanks, the only memorable character in his group of friends is a suicidal drug using weirdo who attempts to drown himself in the bathtub and gives cocaine and quaaludes to a donkey. None of the other friends have discernible personalities, which is disappointing considering we spend so much time with them. They just scream and shout and make messes. The movie is trying to depict a party we'd all like to go to, and I wouldn't even want to be in the same building.
... View MoreRick Gassko (Tom Hanks) is a cool personable school bus driver soon to be married to Debbie Thompson (Tawny Kitaen). His friends Jay O'Neill (Adrian Zmed), mechanic Rudy (Barry Diamond), nerdy Gary (Gary Grossman), and waiter Ryko (Michael Dudikoff) throw him an outrageous bachelor party. Her old boyfriend Cole Whittier (Robert Prescott) aims to break them up. Her parents don't like him either. His brother Stan (William Tepper) is coming along eager to get away from his wife Tina (Wendie Jo Sperber). They invite drugged up Brad Peckerhead Mollen.This is a simple Tom Hanks vehicle. The problem is that he doesn't have good enough partners to play with. Tawny Kitaen is a reasonable hot good girl. There are some fun scenes. Hanks hitting tennis balls over the fence. The male stripper with the fake hot dog is hilarious. The party getting out of control is fun. The Oingo Boingo song is catchy. These are good individual scenes. There needs to be more of them. It should get to the group bachelor party sooner. At least, the group has some limited comedy bromance chemistry. Adrian Zmed is not good enough to be the best friend. Gary Grossman is good as the funny nerd. The rest of them are acceptable as the boorish friends. Robert Prescott is great as the douche ex. As far as 80s raunchy comedies go, this one isn't too bad.
... View MoreGrowing up I had no real rules on what to and not to watch so I Grew up watching not just ET Batman Power Ranger Carebears Darkwing duck But also Bikini car wash company Dinosaur Island Friday the 13th Hardbodies Hellraiser and Bachelor party. I must have been 5 or 6 when i first saw this and I loved the Racy and zany humor I didn't know it wasn't for kids but I didn't care. Tom hanks Roots are built on movies like this and big the Donkey scene was too funny so was the guy being wrapped up in sheets being lowered from the hotel. I am not for censorship so i would not mind any one seeing it My sister and cousins like me could see it and others like it at a young age. Like one crazy summer moving violations It's Under-rated and doesn't get the acknowledgment it deserves. This is an 80's classic and a big part of tom hanks early career. I give it 7/10.
... View MoreMy boyfriend took me to see Bachelor Party during my senior year in high school. It was the most fun I had in a long time. I was scanning Encore an hour ago and came across Bachelor Party. I immediately turned to it. I was curious to find out what it was rated on IMDb since it is one of my all time favorite movies. How can it be just 5.8? Bachelor Party has everything you need in a crazy 80's movies. The hilarious scene with the female strippers who show up at the Bachelorette Party. The bathroom scene where one of the friends of the groom tells him that he's met his soul mate only to find out the hooker who serviced him is a man so he jumps into the shower to scrub his privates. How about the scene with the hot dog bun at the male stripper club?Don't even get me started on the donkey? Bachelor Party is a movie that satisfies every time. It never gets old.
