I love transitioning from the wholesomeness of Splash to the raunchiness of Bachelor Party! Two wildly different movies, but the same adorable, lovable, cheeky Tom Hanks. In this film he stars as Rick, a newly engaged and soon to be married (in a week and a half?!) young man with a ridiculous group of toxic friends. His costar, Tawny Kitaen, plays his fiance Debbie - who looks shockingly similar to Geena Davis! In an early scene, we watch Rick fumble his way through the kitchen, making Swedish meatballs (mystery meat), broccoli flambe (literally just broccoli that burst into flames), and potato salad (whole raw potatoes on lettuce leaves).
So naturally, I was inspired to make a proper meal of Swedish meatballs, roasted broccoli, and potato salad. Much of it seasoned with paprika. We also drank cheap beer. Because bachelor party.
Now, on to the film! While Debbie is being thrown a typical bridal shower, Rick is reluctantly attending a stag party thrown by his friends and brother. This movie has everything; Hookers, condom balloons, mentally unstable long lost childhood friend, boobs, bras on heads, bondage, dude butts, donkey show, donkey on drugs, dead donkey, kidnapping, fistfights, wife kicking cheating husband's ass, nuns, naked guy hanging out of a window by knotted sheets, department store dancing, big 80's hair, Japanese businessmen, an Indian pimp, and spoiler alert - a wedding!
I was honestly expecting a lot more raunch and debauchery, and while it absolutely had those moments, it still managed to center around a decent guy, in love with his gal, and unwilling to do anything to hurt her. Tom Hanks, you made us fall in love with you AGAIN!
