Summary: Nick the what?
Review: Back in 1984, before Tom Hanks became Mr. Oscar-Award, he made a little film called Bachelor Party, which to this day is one of the all-time funniest movies I have ever seen.

Tom stars as Rick Gassko (much in the same style that he played as Kip Wilson on his short-lived TV show, Bosum Buddies), a man who shocks his best friends by announcing his plans to marry his sweetheart, Debbie, played by Tawny Kitaen. His friends try to talk some sense into Rick, and are totally against the idea, but decide to send Rick off with a bachelor party for the ages!

The only thing in the way is Debbies' father, who absolutely hates Rick. The thought of him marrying his daughter is too much to bear. So, he enlists Debbies' jerk ex-boyfriend, Cole, to try to win Debbie back and get rid of Rick.

There are way too many funny moments in this movie to go into complete detail, but if you want to laugh, just get this movie.
There is something about early-to-mid 1980's comedies like these that you just don't see anymore.

On a personal aside, I dont know what it is about actors with a natural gift for slapstick and comedy (Jim Carrey is the latest example), that turn serious and only go after roles that are only potential Oscar winners. Tom Hanks has made some excellent movies since 1984, no doubt about that. But, it is this type of movie which personifies his gift of comedy which has been missed over the years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hanks A Lot!
Review: Forget about Tom Hanks, the serious actor. I could care less about drivel like "Philadelphia," "Saving Private Ryan," or "Castaway." Hanks' comedic knack has never reached the heights it did in "Bachelor Party," far and away his best film. Surrounded by a talented supporting cast, including the delectable Tawny Kitaen, this film is like a runaway train, but one you don't want to get off. Often sophomoric (sophomoric is good), but never less than hilarious, "Bachelor Party" is probably one item Hanks would like to purge from his resume. Keep an eye out for the Indian pimp: he steals the show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every Single Man's Dream
Review: From the time you turn Bachelor Party; there is no turning back. The film is a rollercoaster ride that stops with a very happy ending. No bachelor party in the real world can say that they had a hotel room full of hookers. A well portioned man coming on the to your future mother-on-law and a horse dying of a drug overdosed and trying to get rid of it without the hotel manager finding out. If anything guy out has had any these experiences at their party. Please email me.

Summary: Bachelor Party
Review: Hilarious movie. I couldn't wait for this to come out on DVD. Even today, I can't see Tom Hanks and not think of this movie. Too many funny lines in this movie, but how about a classic- Is it Nick or Mr. Dick?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An underrated comedy classic
Review: I have been a fan of Bachelor Party since first seeing it on HBO back in 1985. I was hooked the first time I saw it, and have yet to outgrow it. Some critics pan the movie for being too dated because of the fashion and music of 1984. Well, unless the movie is sci-fi, fantasy, or a western, it's probably not going to date well from any era. These critics could just-as-easily pan a film like Saturday Night Fever for the same reasons. Anyway,the laughs in Bachelor Party start before the opening credits roll, and don't stop until the end credits. The dialogue is fast, memorable and quoteworthy, and the acting is very satisfying for what is essentially a 'raunchfest' of a comedy. The soundtrack is quirky (basically a collection of basement tapes from IRS Records), but the songs are fun and fit the party atmosphere of the film. We even get to hear some great tracks by The Police, Oingo Boingo, and *good* Wang Chung.

The DVD transfer is excellent. The picture has been restored beautifully, and the sound, while originally recorded in Dolby 4, is clear and in the center - basically as good as it could be restored. There are no deleted scenes, but there are a few promotional shorts that are fun to watch, dated as they are. The original trailer gives you a good indication of how well the picture was restored for the DVD.

This is a highly recommended purchase, and if you're a big fan of the movie, there is a brand new tribute site at www.bachelorpartymovie that you will absolutely love.

Add this DVD to your collection, you won't regret it!

Summary: Funny as all get out!
Review: I have seen this film a dozen times and LOVED it! I thought that it was funny. I thought that this was a fun way to show what people may do at a bacholar party. Adrian Zmed was soooooooo cute in this movie! Whrnever his character would try to get Rick into bed with a woman, "Rick" stuck by the woman that he loved by not engaging in the sex and the drugs that was going on.

The scene with "Cole" hanging from the window was a riot! To some people it may be tasteless, but it is just in fun.... So pop some popcorn, grab your favorite drink, and just kick back and have one hell of a time! I am a girl and LOVE this film. You will not regret this film...

remember: IT'S ALL IN FUN!!!!

Summary: It's More Than Just A Coke Sniffing Donkey.
Review: I love this film.......absolutely love it! This was that glorious time in the 80s when R rated sex comedies were box office blockbusters. This is when Tom "I'm a really really serious actor now" Hanks was funny; I mean EXTREMELY funny. This film has all the laughs of the sungenre, but it's also got something that it's peers don't, and that's(don't laugh) a good love story. Maybe it didn't affect you this way, but I saw this as a very touching love story amongst all the silliness. I saw this film as a true test of Hanks' love for his fiancee-just look at what he has to deal with: 1)His beer drinking, sex crazed buddies are against the idea and rather than support him, give him a bunch of flak(is that how it's spelled?). 2) His fiancee's ex keeps trying to buy Hanks off with money and appliances. 3) Hanks's future in-laws hate his guts and aren't afraid to let him know. 4) He's surrounded by hookers and people having sex at his bachelor party. Hanks brushes all of this off and in no way lets it hinder his decision to marry his fiancee. There's even a scene where Hanks' ex girlfriend(played by the gorgeous Monique Gabrielle), takes off her clothes and tries to seduce him. That takes a real man who must really be in love to walk out of that bedroom! I think that's the best part of the film; The fact that every one and every thing is trying to derail Ricks marriage, but he never gives in and gets his girl at the end of the film. Very moving. Plus there's hilarious scenes of juvenile sex humor if romance isn't your thing. The combination of these two factors make this one of the best comedies I've ever seen.
