Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of those typical fun over the top stupid movies with some pretty funny moments. This movie is all about the naked women, fart jokes, dick jokes etc. Sometimes I forget Tom Hanks got his start in comedy. This is a fairly good reminder. If your in the mood for dumb, crude humor then this is a perfect movie to watch.

You know my reviews are all about setting the right points for the right contents. You know that this is a cheesy fun movie from the 80s, so with that baseline I operate.I am going to watch a silly movie for laughs, and boy do this movie delivers! It is classic laughs. It has boobs, and while Tom Hanks is not missing a red shoe (wink wink) his performance is funny enough. If you want to laugh, look no further. And of course, since we have stated that this is going to be a silly movie, do not expect anything serious on it.So why the 7 points? Well, the biggest problem is the music. It is everywhere and it serves almost no purpose. Then is the shouts. The guys are shouting almost all the time. Hey! I lived thru the 80s myself, and I did some weird things and being on parties not that dissimilar than the one portrayed, but the amount of shouts is just excessive, both for a movie and for a real life event. Finally, there are some plot holes here and there, some parts that need not to be there, and some parts that could have been further developed.So, my verdict is to go watch it if you are on a lower Wednesday night and need to raise your spirit. You will laugh for sure, but get ready for the shouting and annoying music.

Rick Gassko (Tom Hanks) is a cool personable school bus driver soon to be married to Debbie Thompson (Tawny Kitaen). His friends Jay O'Neill (Adrian Zmed), mechanic Rudy (Barry Diamond), nerdy Gary (Gary Grossman), and waiter Ryko (Michael Dudikoff) throw him an outrageous bachelor party. Her old boyfriend Cole Whittier (Robert Prescott) aims to break them up. Her parents don't like him either. His brother Stan (William Tepper) is coming along eager to get away from his wife Tina (Wendie Jo Sperber). They invite drugged up Brad Peckerhead Mollen.This is a simple Tom Hanks vehicle. The problem is that he doesn't have good enough partners to play with. Tawny Kitaen is a reasonable hot good girl. There are some fun scenes. Hanks hitting tennis balls over the fence. The male stripper with the fake hot dog is hilarious. The party getting out of control is fun. The Oingo Boingo song is catchy. These are good individual scenes. There needs to be more of them. It should get to the group bachelor party sooner. At least, the group has some limited comedy bromance chemistry. Adrian Zmed is not good enough to be the best friend. Gary Grossman is good as the funny nerd. The rest of them are acceptable as the boorish friends. Robert Prescott is great as the douche ex. As far as 80s raunchy comedies go, this one isn't too bad.

A very young Tom Hanks stars in this 1984 film with many familiar themes.As a school bus driver getting married to a girl from an uppity family, Hanks' assortment of odd friends plus his married doctor brother plan the usual bachelor party for him.His father-in-law to be dislikes Hanks so that he gets his daughter's former boyfriend on the case to get rid of our lad.The film is typical of what goes on at our wild, swinging bachelor parties. There is plenty of merriment and glee, especially when the girlfriend and her friends crash the party as hookers.While the very end of the film is hilarious when things get out of hand at the posh hotel where the swinging party is being held, the film is so typical and predictable.
