Summary: Tom Hanks at his best!
Review: 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.

Summary: Tom Hanks' best work
Review: I'm not big on hyperbole, but Bachelor Party is Tom Hank's best movie. It's all been downhill for him since 1984. Sure, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, and Apollo 13 are good, but none of them merit watching a few hundred times like Bachelor Party (most viewings took place during the wee hours of the morning while I was in college). 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).

Summary: Hi! Come on in! Drugs to the right, hookers to the left!!!
Review: If you are to own one Tom Hanks film, this should be the one! Tom is a raw, cocky, comedic genius in this film, and is really at his pinnacle. Every scene in this movie is a memorable one, and you will be able to quote it for years to come. This film also marks the debut of Bruce Springsteen, who does a wonderful job as Rudy, the wacky mechanic. All in all, this film is a great time from start to finish, ... !!!

Summary: Chicks and Guns and Firetrucks and Hookers !!
Review: Man they sure don't make comedies like this anymore. This was when Tom Hanks was at the top of his game and not some bigshot Hollywood sellout actor. This flick has all you need in a movie, strippers, hookers, a donkey, a school bus crashing into a movie theatre, fist fights, drunkeness, a guy shooting a crossbow, a naked dude falling out of a hotel window, drug usage, attempted suicide, car theft, a pimp from India, a Lesbian scene, Tawny Katean (pre implants), a woman that pees standing up and not to mention one hell'uva a big Bachelor party. Buy this movie or "Milt will come for you !"

Summary: Silly Human Race
Review: Movies rarely get as eye-glazingly cruel and unfunny as this one. One star only because Tawny Kitaen is very nice-looking.

Summary: Clever and 50% Less Raunchy ... To A Point
Review: 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.

Summary: Winner of Seventeen Academy Awards!
Review: Okay, maybe not. But still the funniest movie I ever rented a dozen times when I was a teen. A sweeping epic! From the lesbians at the bridal shower ("Another one of these, eh?") to the male strip bar ("Wow!..And I was impressed when the world trade center opened."), Why the heck isn't this on DVD yet? --- "That the foot long?", "... Uh huh. And then some!"

Summary: Lame rip-off comes up for air
Review: This also-ran 80's sex comedy is getting trotted out again simply because Tom Hanks is in it. Don't waste your time -- the National Lampoon's franchise did it earlier and better. Hanks at best can affect a half-baked Bill Murray imitation. Yes, there are plenty of T&A shots and potty jokes, but many other movies before or since have done it much better. Try the American Pie series if you want to see authentic teenagers in adolescent hijinks. Try Animal House if you want a far funnier party movie. Avoid this at all costs...

Summary: A light comedy
Review: This is a light comedy where the cast got fun. Not a pretencious film made it just for entertainment. It is not a classic comedy but perhaps the main interest is to watch Tom Hanks as a beguiner in the movie industry.
