Bachelor Night

Phillip andre botello and lenny hernandez were absolutely ridiculous and stupid to boot ... the whole premise of this fiasco was wrong from the beginning ... although most of the women were pretty enough and chesty, the scenes of their nakedness were very minimal ... find another t and a movie to waste time on

It's Derek's bachelor night and he and three friends set off for Las Vegas for the festivities. There they meet Casey and her three friends: she's there for her bachelorette party. They're all there to have some fun but nothing will prepare them for what lies ahead.

I had low expectations for this film and many of those expectations were lived up to as this has many of the traits of a B-grade movie. However, it is not all bad, some scenes are quite funny and there are a few laugh-out-loud moments. Plus there are some, er, visual delights. Yeah, it's quite basic and juvenile but maybe I was just in the right mood for it.

Moreover, the film is short (88 minutes) and has great energy and momentum so is never dull. If you can't make a great movie, make a short movie, and that's what the director did.

I was willing to go into this with an open mind. Another semi-pornographic comedy riding the wave that The Hangover made. It showed so little restraint and even put me mind of some interesting things about that nature of gender and sexuality in our culture.

But once they leave that strip/brothel things go south. It wants to be the Hangover but it doesn't appreciate what made The Hangover so much fun. They went from one crazy situation to the next with a vivid sense of escalating stakes.

This just plods along desperately trying to fill its own runtime and it is really tedious. It was hard to resist just fast forwarding a lot.

There's also a strong rape culture undertone to it. Admittedly it seems to have the message that pretending to be gay to get women to try and convert you is somewhat perverse (some would call it rape by deception) but that just makes it all the more irritating with its hypocrisy, its sanctimoniousness and the obnoxious way it thinks men having ugly sexual experiences is hilarious when to depict the same thing happening to women would be unthinkable.

These movies are often a hair away from being a feminist masterpiece of sorts but these writers don't seem to be able to see the ugly side of their own writing and what should be satire is creepily sincere.

I dunno, maybe I'm crazy but as far as raunchy B-movies go, this one was actually fairly decent. I laughed, I cried, I admired lots of boobs—who had the best roles in the movie, actually. The Vegas cut-scenes thrown in like a truly high-end iMovie user took the cake, baby! Real cinematography genius there. As an added bonus, the music was actually pretty good.

Worth the hour or so of your time to watch, if only for the boobs and the music... but if you were looking for more than that (why would you every need more than that in a movie is beyond me), you're going to be disappointed.

Baaaaahhhh, who am I kidding? The music wasn't that great either.

The basic set-up is a sexually frustrated bride-to-be gives her fiancé a hall pass to get his freak on in Vegas. She tries to ensure this by telling the best man (who apparently is an employee in her company) he will get a promotion if he gets the groom laid.

Honestly their isn't any point in telling you anything further regarding the plot. The acting is SO bad. The topless women are really the only reason to watch this bomb. If this is your only option to watch, you might consider giving your goldfish a bath, maybe even counting hair follicles, learning to levitate, or even master the Time Warp!
