| Rating |  | | Date | July 06, 2005 | | Summary | Thank you 20th century Fox for Tom's breakthrough film!!!! | Content
 | We all know Tom Hanks, the Academy Award winning actor, but you have to check this out, the young comedic actor from T.V.'s Bossum Buddies, in a breakthrough performance. No doubt this film helped him get roles in Splash and The Money Pit. Plot, simple, every soon to be groom has had a (stag party)...just not quite as crazy as these guys have. Schoolbus, donkey, drugs, strippers, tranvestites, stag films, horrible 80's music, and one big ass hotel suite. Without Mr. Hanks, this film would be nothing. He pulls it off with wit, quickness, and that goofy look, that only Tom can do. Alot of his lines were adlibbed by him. My favorite scenes, When he is cooking for his future bride and playing tennis as if it were baseball...funny stuff. Typical 80's fare without the rauchiness of Porkey's, Hot Dog, Spring Break, and all the others. Most notibably, can you even name anyone that went on to stardom from those films? Guess not. Bachelor Party is a riot of a time, rated R for nudity and some bad language, but definatley a B+ in the mix of all the 80's comedys. By the way, to this day, Tom Hanks is still proud of this film........now that is a man. |

| Rating | | | Date | March 26, 2005 | | Summary | We don't go in for any funny business around here... | Content
| Okay, so this movie is dumb. But, if you can get past that, it's hysterical. It has so many memorable lines that it really deserves a better reputation. When you consider tasteless comedies like 'Scary Movie' or 'American Pie', 'Bachelor Party' is right up there with the funniest of the rauchiest. The plot is weak, as is Tawny Kitaen's performance, but there are so many funny scenes and lines that it doesn't matter. Tom Hanks is the only good guy in the movie. All the other characters are obnoxious and/or irritating. But, somehow, most everyone is funny, one way or another. "We are now leaving Nun Central on our journey to HELL AND BEYOND!!!" |

| At least diector Neal Israel (Mr. Amy Heckerling) keeps this tasteless film moving (unlike some of his stillborn films such as "Americathon," which gets a "BOMB" rating from Maltin & a "WOOF" rating from Videohound). The characters here are so obnoxious that I wouldn't want to spend more than 30 seconds in the same room with any of them. But the chaos is acceptably choreographed up to the point when the donkey is brought into the party -- at that stage, I thought that the "creative artists" responsible for this had so lost their bearings that they would have been willing to explicitly depict bestiality on screen if they had thought that they could have gotten away with it. I nominate the director & writer of this film to be contestants on the disgustingly unwatchable TV show "Fear Factor." At the very least they should atone by sponsoring a Preston Sturges film festival. |

| This is an over the top sex ride comedy as only the 80's can bring you. You got it all here. Hot babes, a party hearty crowd of derelicts, drugs, music, cheapo laughs, and a double helping of more sex and partying.
Before Tom Hanks became a 'serious' actor he made great comedies. And before Tawny Kitaen went on doing Whitesnake videos and beating up her baseball husband she was a cute little knockout. Of course the hottest chick in the movie was a toss-up between 'Tracy' and the belly dancer who had a fetish for mules.
And hey there's stuff here for the ladies to enjoy too! You got "Nick the Dick" who serves foot longs as only he can. And what woman wouldn't go ga-ga over the male cast who are Tom's best friends. You got the little dude who tries to get hookers and ends up with a Marilyn Monroe-ish transsexual, the drug addict who tries to slice his wrists with an electric razor, the Animal House reject mechanic with enough body hair to fill a mattress, and the good doctor with the proctologist wife.
Yes folks if you haven't lived through the 80's you don't know what you missed. Life was just like this movie. Wild crazy sex, lots of partying, alcohol, and that lovable "who cares about tomorrow?" attitude.
The gags in this film were cool. Like the fist fight in the 3-D movie. That was great. The morphing heads on Tracy's body were to set the stage for thousands of movies later, and the two prostitutes showing up at the wedding shower was priceless. "Do you have an open outlet?" Oh God I miss the 80's.
So get the popcorn ready and snuggle up on the couch with your honey. They don't make movies like this anymore. They can't. The warmth and innocence of the 80's are long gone, but at least we still have the films. Enjoy 'Bachelor Party' today! |
