With a wedding around the corner, friends decide to throw their pal an unforgettable bachelor party.
Rick and Debbie(Tom Hanks and Tawny Kitaen) couldn't be more opposite if you tried. Rick is a school bus driver living off of grilled cheese and sends his nights drinking with his buddies, as if he were perpetually 17 years old. Debbie is an educated young woman from a wealthy and affluent family. Yet, opposites attract, and these two are getting married. When they each break the news to their respective friends, madness ensues. Rick's friends decide to throw a bachelor party consisting of hookers, drugs, loud music, stag films, food and booze. Debbie's friends throw a quiet and reserved bridal shower. Debbie has only one request of Rick, that he has fun at his party, so long as he doesn't have sex with anyone else. He vows to do so. But Rick's night has just begun, and if fighting temptation isn't enough, he has to contend with Debbie's Father, and her ex-boyfriend Cole, who want nothing more to break the two of them up. Cole sabotages their efforts initially with the hookers by giving the pimp a different address. Where? To Debbie's party. There, they put on a demonstration for these refined women, infuriating them. They suspect they were intended for Rick and for revenge go to a strip club themselves. Meanwhile, Rick contends with a suicidal friend, an assassination attempt by Cole shooting arrows from the hotel room across the street, and a naked and willing old high school flame that wants one night with him.
Perhaps not Tom Hanks' proudest film, Bachelor Party featured Tom when he was firmly rooted in comedy. As far as sex romp films go, this film is the gold standard. Plenty of t&a, with a bit of female full frontal, there is still plenty of comedy and plot that makes this a perfect beer and pizza film to watch with your buddies.

That trailer was funny, especially the 3D part. I never thought that Tom Hanks would do this kind of movie, but I guess this was just a stepping stone for him.
