"Make a circle with the hookers, its time to put Cochise out of business"
Added 12/11/2008
I used to like golf. I still do but life has conspired against me and I have not played for years. Reading these reviews has been the equivalent of being on the first tee on a sunny day, settling over the ball, driver in hand and looking forward to a great round. My heart is filled with joy and remembrance of times past and I feel the world is a better place for seeing so many positive reviews of this film, when I thought I would be the only one to have liked it!
I have busted a gut laughing at the lines people have been quoting from the film, yes, I am 40 and have watched this film dozens of times, but it really is watchable, and I'm sure many of the reviewers are around my age and have as fond memories as I do of the film.
I was so glad to see one reviewer say that Hanks is still pleased with the film, so he should be. He delivers his lines with fun and style and I hoped he enjoyed making the film. There are so many lines, I love his attempt to cook for Debbie where he plops a bunch of raw potatoes in a bowl on the table, "its potato salad, I hope you like it chunky style" and later in bed, Debbie is awake telling him a list of things that are worrying her "your family, may family, the dress, my shower, your bachelor party.." Hanks replies, "er, what about the Middle East, how are you with that?" The film is well written and well acted, and although it moved predictably between a series of set pieces, they are done so well, you have to laugh. (The "Nick the Dick" scene is right up there with the Porkies "tally-wacker ID parade scene", and that is just one of the set pieces). Obviously Adrian Zhmed went on to be Officer Romano in TJ Hooker and Michael Dudikoffs name appears in B-Movies regularly, but all of the actors deliver humorous performances, and the overall effect is a high quality 80's "Frat" style film. Ladies, if you have a 40-something hubby, might I suggest a fine birthday gift would be a few friends, beer, nibbles and a 3 DVD night in with the lads featuring Bachelor Party, Porkies and Weird Science. Meanwhile, the ladies perhaps can watch St Elmos Fire, The Breakfast Club and Heathers in an adjoining room/house/town/state.
And Mr Hanks, if you are reading this, when you get your lifetime achievement Oscar, I hope you demand that they show a clip from this wonderful work to the Academy,

Added 5/21/2008
The donkey show is worth the price of the video. Not just the belly dancing w/the mule, but the mule 0.D.ing on coke is a gas and a giggle.

It's what a comedy SHOULD be like! They don't make'em like they used to...

One of the classic 80's comedies, Bachelor Party, brings to the screen the story of a school bus driver for whom his buddies throw the wildest, most incredible bachelor party with all the ups and downs that that entails!
Tom Hanks, Tawny Kitaen (who has to be one of the most GORGEOUS women of all time/no exaggeration!!!), and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs.
The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, and the music are all wonderful!
In short, Bachelor Party is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't done so already)!

Truly Honest Laughs, many of them!

I dunno - this movie is pure escapism/mood elevation, whatever. But am I alone in preferring THIS Tom Hanks and the TH in "Dragnet" to politically correct effluvia like "Philly" or "Forrest Gump?"

One Line Review
Added 1/7/2007
It's a wonder anyone in this tasteless comedy ever made another movie again...or won an Oscar...much less two.
