Summary: Jimmie is a bachelor who loves his single lifestyle and has never considered himself ready to settle down - that is, until he meets Anne, a pretty photographer. Jimmie plans to propose to Anne during a romantic evening, but he manages to mess it up completely and as a result, Anne takes off on a photographic assignment. The very next day Jimmie learns that his Grandfather has died and left him a fortune, on one condition, that he marries before his thirty-third birthday, which happens to be twenty-four hours away!...

The comic tale of a commitment-shy bachelor who must rectify his ways if he wants to receive a multimillion dollar inheritance from his deceased grandfather. After ruining a genuine proposal with a pathetic statement, Jimmie Shannon's (O'Donnell) girlfriend Anne (Zellweger) leaves him. When he realizes his grandfather's only stipulation, that he get married by 6:05 on his thirtieth birthday, happens to be the very next day, the hunt is on for a bride-to-be. Armed with his friend (Lange) and a ready-to-marry priest (Cromwell), Jimmie spends the next twenty-four hours tracking down his former girlfriends, trying to find a suitable partner. A remake of Buster Keaton's SEVEN CHANCES (1925).

The 1984 hit comedy Bachelor Partyis a silly and puerile, if not entirely dislikeable, romp which possesses some of the spirit of Animal House, but little of the exuberance or timing Tom Hanks, who later proved himself as a fine actor in the right roles, spends this movie proving that he was never going to cut it as the next John Belushi. The plot, such as it is, is as predictable as sunset. Rick (Tom Hanks) is getting married, so his friends attempt to see him off with a fanfare of alcohol and hookers. While people go "Whoo!" and break things in the background, Rick struggles to decide between the transient pleasures of the flesh, and the trust of the woman to whom he's about to pledge his life. The tension as he struggles for a decision is eminently bearable.

On the DVD:Bachelor Partyon disc is presented in 16:9 widescreen. Subtitles are available in English, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Polish, Portugese, Norwegian, Swedish and Turkish, however, any prospective Mongolian or Apache purchasers may rest assured that the humour is not primarily vested in its cunning plays on semantics. Special features consist of some contemporary promotional footage and interviews, none of which is terribly illuminating, but some of which allows the viewer to marvel at leisure at the hair of co-star Tawny Kitaen--without doubt, the worst 80s haircut ever captured on film. --Andrew Mueller
