Does lightning strike twice in 24 years? If one follows the formula laid down by the original Bachelor Party--broad comedy with liberal doses of nudity and outrageous behavior--the chances are pretty good, at least enough for producer Ron Moler and screenwriters Neal Israel and Pat Proft to craft this new take on the 1984 gagfest that helped mold Tom Hanks into a dependable comic leading man. Though it's billed as a sequel, Bachelor Party 2 is actually a remake of the first feature: the essential plot of earnest groom-to-be (Josh Cooke) attempting to resist temptation at a no-holds-barred bachelor party thrown by his pals (Harland Williams, Greg Pitts, and Danny Jacobs) is preserved here, though the gross-out humor goes further than anything suggested in the original. And that's the stumbling block for Bachelor Party 2, because while it was never going to be mistaken for a '30s screwball comedy, the first Bachelor Party generated most of its laughs from the breezy performances of Hanks and his co-stars. Here, the best efforts of top-billed (and likable) Josh Cooke and capable comics Williams and Pitts are overwhelmed by a tide of bodily function jokes (though a bit involving nebbishy Jacobs and a German masseuse has its moments). Seeing as the American Pie franchise has spawned five sequels and countless imitators, the lowbrow humor may not be a negative for many viewers, but one wishes the filmmakers tried for a few more jokes that didn't engage the gag reflex. The unrated DVD includes rowdy commentary by the male leads and director/co-writer James Ryan, a whopping 18 deleted (and extraneous) scenes, a making-of featurette with interviews with the cast and crew, an 18-minute gag reel that quickly outwears its welcome, and the self-explanatory "Analysis of a Stripper Fight." -- Paul Gaita

I thought this movie was hysterical. Definitely worth a look. Made me want to go rent the original after. Good laughs, good nudity, and good writing. I highly recommend it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great flick, April 3, 2008

By	Lloyd McShane (New York) - See all my reviews

Very funny film. I did not expect to laugh so hard, but there are several classic scenes that far surpass the original Bachelor Party. Though the themes and storyline are pretty simple, the writing is very good. Hard to believe this was Director Jim Ryan's first film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Funny!, March 16, 2008

By	PKMattis1 (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Honestly, wasn't expecting much considering the title - was surprised they would make a sequel so long after the original. Well, as it turns out, it's not really a sequel at all, it's a new story with all new characters. More importantly, it's really funny! My girlfriend and I were laughing all the way through. Harland Williams is hyterical and the rest of the cast is really good as well.
I can see why they would call it Bachelor Party 2 because it reminds me of fun 80's sex comedies like Bachelor Party, Porky's, Stripes, etc. Maybe they should have given it it's own title to avoid confusion.
In any case, was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this much more than a lot of the crappy comedies that are in the theater these days.
