Bachelor Party DVD [2003] Description

The 1984 hit comedy Bachelor Party is a silly and puerile, if not entirely dislikeable, romp which possesses some of the spirit of Animal House, but little of the exuberance or timing Tom Hanks, who later proved himself as a fine actor in the right roles, spends this movie proving that he was never going to cut it as the next John Belushi. The plot, such as it is, is as predictable as sunset. Rick (Tom Hanks) is getting married, so his friends attempt to see him off with a fanfare of alcohol and hookers. While people go Whoo! and break things in the background, Rick struggles to decide between the transient pleasures of the flesh, and the trust of the woman to whom hes about to pledge his life. The tension as he struggles for a decision is eminently bearable. On the DVD: Bachelor Party on disc is presented in 16:9 widescreen. Subtitles are available in English, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Polish, Portugese, Norwegian, Swedish and Turkish, however, any prospective Mongolian or Apache purchasers may rest assured that the humour is not primarily vested in its cunning plays on semantics. Special features consist of some contemporary promotional footage and interviews, none of which is terribly illuminating, but some of which allows the viewer to marvel at leisure at the hair of co-star Tawny Kitaen--without doubt, the worst 80s haircut ever captured on film.
