Summary: A carefree school bus driver (Tom Hanks) is set to marry a wealthy woman and his friends decide to throw him the ultimate bachelor party. Of course, things get out of hand during an incredibly wild night.

Review:

Tim: This is a silly, harmless comedy that isn't too raunchy and not necessarily offensive. Keep in mind that this is a movie about a bachelor party, so its not a kid's movie, either.

The film is pretty funny throughout. There are some hilarious lines and even funnier situations. Where else can you see a dead donkey in an elevator, a scorned lover attempt murder with a crossbow, and a man trying to slit his wrists with an electric shaver? There are definitely some memorable moments.

Tom Hanks is hilarious. He is very likeable in the film. He's a goofy, laid back carefree soul who is actually a pretty good guy. Hanks and his group of friends seem like they would be really fun to hang out with. Hanks makes the entire film feel harmless, which is of the utmost importance.

The supporting cast are all lesser known actors, but do provide good support for Hanks. This is definitely an early 80s movie, and that hurts the film a bit because it feels a little ridiculous at times.

Bachelor Party is a silly, fun movie that shouldn't be taken too seriously. It is lightweight fare, but it is also pretty entertaining.
