Review:

Bachelor Party 2 is the story of a group of male friends. One is getting married, and his dragged off to a big bachelor party before his seemingly-inevitable wedding day. What he doesn't know is that the man who set up the party has his own agenda - and wants to steal away his soon-to-be wife. ***

One thing that needs to be made clear is that this isn't really a Bachelor Party movie. Fox more-or-less just swiped the name from the Tom Hanks eighties classic and slapped it on this movie, most likely as an effort to sell more copies. ***

All right, on to the actual review. This movie is, in the simplest terms possible, terrible. The original Tom Hanks film was no masterpiece - but next to this sequel that isn't even really a sequel, it is. If you've seen any teen comedy of recent years, you've seen this movie's plot line done better. Every character is a clichéd one. The storyline is predictable. There's literally nothing here you haven't seen before. There's too damn much filler, and what little has some entertaining value is few and far between. This film isn't worthy to carry the name of the Tom Hanks movie. Hell, it's not even worthy of existing. It's a generic T and A movie that brings nothing new onto the table. Don't waste your time. ---

Image And Sound:

You'd think, considering this is a brand new movie, and the fact that 20th Century Fox is one of the biggest, most successful film countries on the face of the planet, they would have been able to make this movie look good on DVD.

*** Wrong.

This is one of the worst DVD picture quality jobs this reviewer has ever seen. The whole picture, from start to finish, is blurry and hazy, and the colors are unimpressive. Sound quality fares better, but it certainly doesn't compensate for the horrible image quality.

Special Features:

Quite a few extra features were included on the DVD, which is surprising considering the nature of the film. Sadly, nothing too interesting to speak of. The feature-length commentary has too many individuals involved and is an absolute mess - it feels more like a joke than anything else. The “Stripper Fight” extra is nothing more than those who participated in it on screen talking about it, sort of like a commentary of that particular scene. There's over fifteen minutes of deleted scenes, but when you consider how awful the actual movie was, do you really want to see the stuff that was considered “not good enough” for the final product? The gag reel drags on endlessly, with minimal highlights. If you didn't like the film, there's really no point in seeing the extras. And even if you did (there's probably one or two people out there that will), you won't find a whole lot of interest here.

Final Words:

Can anyone say “terrible movie?” Even if teen sex comedies are your cup of tea, it's doubtful you'll find anything of interest Bachelor Party 2. If you watch this movie, it's 100 minutes of your life you can never get back. So take those 100 minutes and go do something else. ANYTHING else. Whatever you decide to do will be more meaningful than watching this half-baked, cliched mess.
