I finally watched Bachelor Party

The process of watching Batchelor Party has been long and complicated.  From a very early age, I acknowledged that Bachelor Party was your typical 80s comedy but with Tom Hanks.  However, in an almost [almost] comedic fashion, the film has evaded me for nearly eight years.

The first time I ever encountered Bachelor Party was in the basement of my friend in tenth grade [I think] where my Korean friend saw the VHS tape and decided to borrow it.  I immediately realized that the tape was a Tom Hanks movie and therefore not porn and that he was wasting his time.  However, every time I thought about renting that video from Blockbuster since then, my efforts have been foiled [credit it to either the incredible morality or perversity of Vienna].  Even for the past two years I've been a Netflix subscriber, it's taken until now for the movie to get to me.

However, last night, I finally watched Bachelor Party.  

And lo, it was exactly, exactly, the slightly above medicore 80s comedy that I expected.  And here is a shotgun review.

First, Tom Hanks is a top rate actor and in Bachelor Party, his charisma shows through.  However, his surrounding cast is simply awful.  Most of the supporting actors seem to be chosen based on the quality of their bodies [this includes women and men], and it is pretty unnerving.

The one actor who I recognized besides Tom Hanks was the student villain from Revenge of the Nerds [a film which still costs $15 new on Amazon, which is a fucking crime] minus his braces.  That isn't a good sign.  

This is not even beginning to mention the fact that I've favored the interpretation of the Bachelor Party Bachelor Party in the Bachelor Party universe.  If at my actual bachelor party [or a bachelor party thrown for my closest friends] there is actually bestiality, some shit shooting a crossbow, or a suicidal drug addict, it's all over.  Dude, Tom Hanks' character was just so tolerant.

Ultimately, Bachelor Party is an emotionless guide as to what not to do when you get married and is worth of three stars but just barely that.
