Synopsis: 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,... 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. [More]

Bachelor Party has energy to spare, plus there are some really funny supporting performances hidden within, should you care enough to dig that deeply.

Another 1980's sex comedy. It gets old before it gets over.

Even Tom Hanks had to start somewhere, and this lame comedy is one of his earliest works. That is its only attribute.
