Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation

It has been 24 years since the original Tom Hanks-starring Bachelor Party hit theaters, but apparently Fox felt the name-recognition value of that movie was strong enough to sell this unrelated T&A comedy. The sequel’s story line centers on Ron (Josh Cooke), the mellowest member of a group of louts who proposes to his girlfriend (Sara Foster of D.E.B.S.) two months into their relationship. This infuriates his brother-in-law-to-be (Warren Christie), who doesn’t want Ron cutting in on the family fortune, and so our hapless hero is thrown into provocative situations so that he can be exposed as an opportunist. The film moves at a fast clip, but the jokes are lackluster, leaving only the female cast members’ topless scenes as a potential selling point.

Shelf Talk: Last Temptation is being offered in both R and unrated versions and also is being packaged with the Hanks movie in a Bachelor Party two-pack ($34.98). The presence of Maxim “Hot 100” girl Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw II, CSI: NY) might serve as an added incentive for teens and college students to rent the picture.
