Jan 31 2007Bachelor Party 2!
We may now look at Tom Hanks as one the greatest actor's of all time, mocking foreigners (The Terminal), the retarded (Forrest Gump), and pathetic middle-aged singles (You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle) with an unbiased, unmatched skill, but he wasn't always America's golden boy. When he was just starting out, he took a role too many of us had forgotten: an engaged man on his final night of hooker freedom in Bachelor Party.
Thankfully, a sequel is now in the works, and, wisely, the producers have recognized that it was not the comic appeal of young up-and-comer Hanks that made the first a success, but the loose, general concept of a bachelor party. Thus, nothing is retained from the original except that prize idea.
Strangely, this film will bypass it's theatrical run for a shot at Blockbuster shelves and used DVD bins.

What about Hanks mocking barbers in The Da Vinci Code?

man, you sure do like apostrophes. And I don't mean in that old, metaphoric way, I mean the punctuation you misused twice in this posting.
