Bachelor Party

I used to like golf. I still do but life has conspired against me and I have not played for years. Reading these reviews has been the equivalent of being on the first tee on a sunny day, settling over the ball, driver in hand and looking forward to a great round. My heart is filled with joy and remembrance of times past and I feel the world is a better place for seeing so many positive reviews of this film, when I thought I would be the only one to have liked it!

I have busted a gut laughing at the lines people have been quoting from the film, yes, I am 40 and have watched this film dozens of times, but it really is watchable, and I'm sure many of the reviewers are around my age and have as fond memories as I do of the film.

I was so glad to see one reviewer say that Hanks is still pleased with the film, so he should be. He delivers his lines with fun and style and I hoped he enjoyed making the film. There are so many lines, I love his attempt to cook for Debbie where he plops a bunch of raw potatoes in a bowl on the table, "its potato salad, I hope you like it chunky style" and later in bed, Debbie is awake telling him a list of things that are worrying her "your family, may family, the dress, my shower, your bachelor party.." Hanks replies, "er, what about the Middle East, how are you with that?" The film is well written and well acted, and although it moved predictably between a series of set pieces, they are done so well, you have to laugh. (The "Nick the Dick" scene is right up there with the Porkies "tally-wacker ID parade scene", and that is just one of the set pieces). Obviously Adrian Zhmed went on to be Officer Romano in TJ Hooker and Michael Dudikoffs name appears in B-Movies regularly, but all of the actors deliver humorous performances, and the overall effect is a high quality 80's "Frat" style film. Ladies, if you have a 40-something hubby, might I suggest a fine birthday gift would be a few friends, beer, nibbles and a 3 DVD night in with the lads featuring Bachelor Party, Porkies and Weird Science. Meanwhile, the ladies perhaps can watch St Elmos Fire, The Breakfast Club and Heathers in an adjoining room/house/town/state.

And Mr Hanks, if you are reading this, when you get your lifetime achievement Oscar, I hope you demand that they show a clip from this wonderful work to the Academy,

Exactly the same amount of thought and effort went into the cover art as the content. I feel like I got punked by purchasing this book. If you're a moronic, slovenly misogynist, it'll be a great read and will assist you in disguising these characteristics. If you have two brain cells to rub together, it'll be a waste of 20 minutes of your life. The four people who rated it five stars must be the author. Please don't waste your time on this book. Even has boatloads of spelling and grammatical errors. Please give me my $10 back.

My mother and I used to watch these together so I bought them out of sentimental value and I only had them on VHS and wished to have them on DVD but they are light romance and very cute.
