Editorial Review:
This outrageously funny look at one man's final moments of bachelorhood stars TOM HANKS as Rick, reluctant recipient of a bachelor bash given by a group of friends who view partying as their full-time religion. Rick's worried fiancée, Debbie (TAWNY KITAEN), dresses up in disguise and crashes the party to spy on her future husband. To complicate the night further, Debbies father hires her ex-boyfriend to win back his daughter. It turns out to be an evening the soon-to-be bride and groom will never forget.
Description of Bachelor Party:
Bachelor Party may not be the first trashy sex comedy, but it is perhaps the definitive trashy sex comedy. The movie makes its first breast joke before the opening credits have even finished. A cheerful school bus driver (Tom Hanks) has somehow gotten engaged to a lovely young heiress, much to the chagrin of her family and vengeful ex-boyfriend. The bus driver's roustabout friends decide to throw him a bachelor party--and you can pretty much guess the rest: scantily clad hookers, rampant drug use, bad 1980s new-wave music, really bad 1980s fashions, full frontal nudity (curiously, due to a scene in a Chippendales strip club, there's almost as much male flesh on display as female), bestiality, racial stereotypes, blackmail, attempted suicide, all played for unrepentant cheap laughs. Throughout, Tom Hanks floats along with a carefree (if slightly sheepish) grin, projecting such an air of impish innocence that it's hard to be offended by any of it. And it all ends in a wedding, just like a Shakespearean comedy. Also featuring the blinding white teeth and big hair of Tawny Kitaen (playing the good girl Hanks marries), buxom scream queen Monique Gabrielle, and Adrian Zmed, whose career has not fared as well as Hanks's. --Bret Fetzer
Bachelor Party Reviews:
l KlLLED A MULE!!!! 
2008-05-21 - 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...
2007-08-12 - 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! 
2007-03-26 - 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 
2007-01-07 - It's a wonder anyone in this tasteless comedy ever made another movie again...or won an Oscar...much less two.
Bachelor Party
2006-11-10 - A funny 80's movie, if you are needing a laugh this is a must see!!
