With my bachelor
party coming up, it got me thinking, what are the best Bachelor Parties from
all of cinema.
Honorable Mention
A Guy Thing (2003): Jason Lee is marrying a nervous woman who
is not a good match for him at all. Things get complicated when he wakes up
after his bachelor party with another woman, Julia Styles, who just so
happens to be a cousin to his bride-to-be. This is a fun, cute, and lighter
bachelor party film.
American Wedding (2003): There are tons
of hilarious moments in the American Pie films. One of the best was when Stifler
(Seann William Scott) throws Jim (Jason Biggs) a secret bachelor party on
the same night and place where he's having dinner with his future in-laws.
Naked woman and extreme awkwardness ensues.
Sideways (2004):
This wasn't the biggest bachelor party ever, just Paul Giamatti taking
best/only friend Thomas Haden Church to wine country before he marries into a
well-to-do family. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh are perfect as women of
interest and Alexander Payne's script is smart and engaging. This is a
very good film.
5. Very Bad Things (1998): This Peter
Berg directed film has a slew of stars, mostly before their prime. (Jon
Favreau, Christian Slater, Jeremy Piven) These best friends all go to
Vegas for a bachelor party, only to have a hooker get killed in the process. Some
say the first half of this film inspired "The Hangover," but the
second half fades badly. I may have even stopped watching 75% into the film.
4. The Best Man (1999): This film is
packed with stars. (Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Nia Long, Harold Perrineau,
Sanaa Lathan and Morris Chesnut) This entertaining film features everything you
would want, drinking, fighting, girls and even a cat named Fandango. Worth
checking out.
3. Clerks II (2006): Kevin Smith
needed to make this sequel, even if it didn't come close to the original. His
burger-flipping friends threw an epic bachelor party, donkey included. Rosario
Dawson is fetching as the love interest and the Lord of the Rings-Star Wars
argument is a classic comedic moment. A bestiality bachelor party, cant get
better than that.
2. Bachelor Party (1984): This is what
started it all. Tom Hanks is given one of the best bachelor parties ever. With
his fiance’s ex trying to ruin everything and disappointed dad watching
carefully, this film has it all. A she-male named Tim and a mule make an
appearance in this hilarious and epic bachelor party film.
1. The Hangover (2009):
This film has forever changed bachelor parties and the expectations that come
along with it. The absolutely hilarious film starring Bradley Cooper, Zack
Galifinakis, Ed Helms and great support from Ken Jeong, Heather Graham and Mike
Tyson, is the best ever. Almost every single moment is laugh out loud funny and
this film propelled Galifinakis to new comedic heights. His performance rivals
that of Anchorman and School of Rock.
