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, Debbie's 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.

It's not really a LOST "lost classic", but you don't ever really think of it when you think of 80s movies from this genre. If you do, it's usually in a "Oh, YEAH, Bachelor Party!" kind of way. That's a shame. Although I don't feel too bad - the lead actor has star written all over him and I'm sure he had other good roles after this one.

Tom Hanks is at his early best, free and at ease, leading this gang of misfits through a wild evening. There is equal opportunity debauchery but a genuine connection of love about a man who can still have childlike feelings about life yet understand what commitment means in the crazy world they live in.

If you could have a bachelor party half as fun as this movie depicts, you just may not get married. Tom Hanks cut his teeth in comedy and this film shows how he can do it oh so well, so here you can judge him on more than just his oscar worthy performances.

I watched Bachelor Party in the cinema, maybe before VHS was available. It was the corniest funny movie I had ever seen. It reminded me of Eddy Murphy’s movies. Bachelor Party was and still is a wonderful movie.
