Rating: Summary: Everything an 80's movie needs: Review: "...a bachelor party with chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze." add in brief nudity, a likeable Tom Hanks, and 80's goddess Tawny Kitaen and you have the complete 80's movie. The plot is simple enough: Man getting married, buddies throw him a bachelor party. Throw in some stuck up in-laws, a ex-boyfriend trying to sabotage the wedding, a wiener on a bun, a roomfull of hookers and a dead donkey, and you've pretty much got all an 80's comedy could want. The only thing this movie does lack is a strong supporting cast. Lead by Jay O'Neil (Adrian Zmed) "I wish I had someone I could really respect. Hey, Look at the cans on that bimbo." and including the "party animal," "surfer dude," "lovable loser," and "doctor" brother, the bachelor boys have their moments but no one truly stands out. All this movie needed was an Al Czervik, or John Blutarsky to turn it into one of the top comedies of the decade. Still, all in all it's a good laugh.Gary: Are you the pimp? Pimp: Yes. Gary: You look like Ghandi! Pimp: I've got girls to sit on your face. 4/5 Stars
Rating: Summary: The best bad comedy Review: "Bachelor Party" is not a great movie, but when you compare it to some lackluster attempts at sex comedies made today it's definately a stand-alone classic. You probably have to be in the right mood to watch this, but don't take it as an excuse to throw naked bodies around (in fact, there's only one real scene of nudity). I was surprised at how funny this film was, and I was laughing more times than I was offended. A lot of the sex jokes are funny too ("So are you named Rob or...Mister Dick.") while some may be a little too vulgar to be thought funny by rational minds (yeah...donkies...). Overall, it's a good movie. Give it a shot. Or not...whatever you want.
Rating: Summary: ...a bachelor party! With chicks, and guns, and firetrucks Review: "Let's have a bachelor party! With chicks, and guns, and fire trucks, and hookers, and drugs, and boose!" This is one of the myriad of unforgettable quotes from, in my opinion, the best comedy ever made. To be fair, I should say it's tied for Number 1 with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was 14 when this movie came on the Movie Channel. Many people don't know that Tom Hanks really got his start in comedy and the tv show Bosom Buddies. The characters in this movie will live forever. Even a young Tawny Kittaen, from Whitesnake videos, is in this movie. You'll never forget the one liners-I still use some today. "Where's the grooom?" "He's in the bedroooom." And, "Is that a foot-long?" "And then some." Buy this NOW!

Rating: Summary: Drugs to the right, hookers to the left! Review: A true gem of early 80's offensive cinema, sprung from the same inspiration of other contemporaries like "Porky's" and "The Last American Virgin". Forget "Philadelphia" or "Cast Away", if you want to see Tom Hanks at his finest, see this film. From the opening scene where something harmless like a baby photo shoot is turned into a sexual gag about the mom, the film is unrepentant about it's crude gags and profane situations. At the crux of it all is Tom Hanks, who applies his famous everyman personality to lend all the outrageous goings-on a lighthearted tone that softens the proceedings. It is that quality that makes the film work so well, much like Ben Stiller's lovelorn and earnest character allowed the audience to actually care about "There's Something About Mary" beyond its own crudities. Also adding the enjoyment of the film are the supporting cast, especially Adrien Zmed as the best friend and bachelor party ringmaster and Robert Prescott as Cole, the competitor for Hanks' bride, a warm-up for his hilarious role as Kent in "Real Genius". All in all, if you are looking for a film with the shock humor of a "Porky's" and the lighthearted wit of an "Animal House", you can't do better than "Bachelor Party", certainly a Must for any fan of 80's cinema.

Rating: Summary: Tom Hanks was the 80's Jim Carrey Review: Anyone who likes this movie should check out the English "Carry on" series, 'cause now that toilet humor is the popular thing, its good to see where that form of humor started. Bachelor party is hillarious. In these days of politically correctness, this film would never be made. Which is a damn shame. If your a South park or Austin Powers fan, you should love this film.
Rating: Summary: Here Comes the Chaos Review: As one of the funniest movies to come out of the 1980's, "Bachelor Party," still is funny today as it was back when it debuted. The story, which revolves around Rick (Hanks) and his impending marriage to Debbie (Kitaen) involves so many hijinks that few comedies today can match its' wit and hysterical output. When Debbie's ex tries to convince Rick not to marry her but fails, he then goes on the warpath to stop him by all means necessary. But unaware to his knowledge, Rick and his wild and wacky buddies create the biggest, best, and most hysterical bachelor party the world has ever seen. The film which also starred Adrian Zmed (Televison's "Dance Fever"; Broadway's "Grease"), was a showcase of Hank's comedic talents. Just seeing the way he strolls into most scenes still makes me roll on the floor, because he does it with so much ease that he looks like an authentic badboy. Unlike his roles in recent years, Hanks was in his heydey when he made this film. I'm not sure how he will react wheneve his career is saluted at a honorary banquet in the future, but I hope he smiles and laughs that he has made millions of people laugh with his role as Rick. While this film was filmed years before the politically-correct 1990's rolled in, the film's writers (including Neal Israel, who wrote the first "Police Academy" movie) put out all sort of gags. The opening scene at the store where Debbie works is hysterical, and so is the scene at Chippendales where the women at Debbie's bridal shower-gone-bad meet "Nick the ----." Long before he produced Madonna's "Ray of Light," album, producer William Orbit composed some of the electronica music heard at the bachelor party. The great soundtrack (no longer produced) also featured Adrian Zmed, and some songs performed by the all-girl group hired for the party. If you are look for a film that will make you laugh out loud, then this is it. Just like in the tradition of other no-holds-barred comedies such as "Scary Movie," and "The Naked Gun," this film will leave you short of breath. Tom Hanks in his greatest comedic performance is a true classic.
