Bobby V Hilarious 80s raunchy comedy that is a classic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Rosana B Pense num filme incrivelmente ruim e chato, besteirol, extremamente besteirol, super besteirol, somente besteirol, bobo, chato, totalmente sem graça, muito, muito cara dos anos 80/90 mesmo... E sou extremamente chata e impaciente com o gênero… Pobre Tom Hanks, que apesar do roteiro insosso, consegue se manter fofinho num papel abobado… Em pensar que eu já gostei de Porky's, kkkk, mil vezes pior e eu achava super legalzinho… Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Ola G Party animal Rick Gassko (Tom Hanks), who makes his living as a Catholic-school bus driver, decides to settle down and marry his girlfriend Debbie Thompson (Tawny Kitaen). After learning the news of the engagement, Rick's shocked friends, led by Jay (Adrian Zmed), decide to throw him an epic bachelor party. The bride's wealthy, conservative parents are unhappy with her decision, and her father enlists the help of Debbie's ex-boyfriend Cole Whittier (Robert Prescott) to sabotage her relationship with Rick and win her back. While Debbie worries and goes off to a bridal shower thrown by her friends, Rick heads to the bachelor party, which takes place in a lavish, spacious hotel suite, and promises to remain faithful. Both parties start off on the wrong foot because of Cole's meddling. As the bachelor party starts to heat up, Debbie and the girls decide to get even with Rick and his friends by having a party of their own. Both parties eventually collide, leading to Debbie accusing Rick of infidelity... Reviews for Bachelor Party were mixed. While some critics appreciated the humor, others found it to be vulgar and gratuitous. Film critics Roger Ebert and Janet Maslin both recommended the film, but had reservations about certain aspects, calling it "sophomoric" and "not a great film." In a Los Angeles Times review, writer Kevin Thomas praised Hanks as "likable, spontaneous zany" but felt that the film was 15 minutes too long: "That extra 15 minutes allows for just enough repetition (and just enough lingering over as much outrageous sexual connotation that an R rating permits) to let heavy-handed tastelessness creep in and dampen the fun." (Via Wikipedia) Re-seeing this during 2023 made it clear to me that this film wouldn´t work at all today. I didn´t remember it being a total lowpoint in Tom Hanks career, but it truly is. There´s so many vulgar and over the top scenes and sequences with a script that goes pearshape from the beginning. "Bachelor Party" is pretty cringeworthy to watch and the "jokes" falls flat to me. A clear 80s production from many angles which you could forgive in certain cases, but not in this one if you ask me. "Bachelor Party" is simply too stupid to be able to oversee any of the dumbness. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Gary A Fun, fun, and funny! Still holds up decades later. Watch it or miss out. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review The H too pretentious for its own good Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review William D This was a really good movie that has some great comedy in it. It is interesting to see an early Tom Hanks film prior to his more dramatic roles to see the difference. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
