Features: DVD
Before he earned his first Oscar nomination for the hit film, Big Tom Hanks starred in Ron Howard's Splash--his first leading film role. Only three months later, Hanks followed up that early success with Bachelor Party where many critics praised his zany spontaneity and proclaimed him the new Bill Murray. This outrageously funny look at one man's final moments of bachelorhood stars Tom Hanks as Rick, reluctant recipient of a bachelor bash given by a group of friends who view partying as their full-time relgion.
"Funny...likable...Tom Hanks is funny and engaging." The New York Times
Editor's Note
Rick (Tom Hanks) is a charming but goofy young guy who is about to marry his upper-class girlfriend, whose parents disapprove of him. When his friends decide to throw a wild and crazy bachelor party, all hell breaks loose. BACHELOR PARTY features a cocaine-snorting mule, Japanese businessmen, and a lot of hearty partying.
Plot Summary
Rick and Debbie are all set to get married, so Rick's friends decide to throw him a bachelor party. Rick isn't terribly crazy about the idea, but reluctantly agrees to play along. Debbie's father, however, is not very fond of his daughter's choice for a husband and decides that this is a great opportunity to send Debbie's old boyfriend, Cole, to persuade Rick to give her up. Offering his Porche in exchange for the bride, Cole shows up at the party only to get hung out of the window by Rick's buddies. In the meantime, Debbie becomes worried about what Rick might do at the rowdy celebration, and decides to crash the party. But when Debbie, disguised as a hooker, enters the hotel room where the guys are having their blast, all hell breaks loose.
