Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation is a straight to DVD movie about a group of friends celebrating their soon-to-be married friend Ron's (Josh Cooke,) last days before getting hitched. The film is scheduled to be released March 11.

For anyone who loves dirty sexy comedy, they will love Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation.

Bachelor Party 2 is the sequel of the original Bachelor Party, which came out in 1984, starring Tom Hanks. Bachelor Party 2 is set to be released Friday, March 11 on DVD by 20th Century Fox. This is a movie that can be compared to the adult version of the American Pie series. Bachelor Party 2 will have adolescents and young adults rolling over with laughter throughout the movie.

Directed by James Ryan, Bachelor Party 2 is about Ron (Josh Cooke), who is about to marry Melinda (Sara Foster), the daughter of a wealthy family. Melinda's brother-in-law, Todd, (Warren Christie) doesn't want a new addition to the family business, so he takes Ron and his close friends to Miami for a bachelor party in hopes he will catch Ron cheating on Melinda.

This movie will have anyone who wants a cheap laugh rolling on the floor from the beginning. But this movie definitely won't win a Golden Globe or an Oscar because there is a lot of bad acting, and the plot goes nowhere. Whether it is nerdy interns boxing or strippers getting in a fight, this movie starts with a bang and fizzles out as it goes along.

This movie caters to a very specific type of audience.

Young adult males will especially love this movie; it is full of girls in bikinis who often take their tops off, sexual humor and a lot of cheap but often effective humor.

There are a few aspects of the movie that are not enjoyable, though. Harland Williams, who plays Derek in the film, is not funny at all. He is too full of dry humor, which ends up adding nothing to the plot.

Derek's son Tommy (Max Landwirth) comes on the trip from Cleveland to Miami Beach for the bachelor party. He is useless in this entire film. It seems as if that character was forced into the film.

Some of the sexual humor, while it is funny, is a little over-the-top. There was a scene in which Jason, who is played by Greg Pitts, enters a booty shaking competition, and while on the edge of defeat, takes his pants off, exposing his butt.

Additionally, the ending of the movie doesn't make much sense. It ends abruptly and the action is not as developed as it should be.

Overall, for anyone who is into sex, alcohol and wants a cheap laugh, Bachelor Party 2 is a movie worth watching. For anyone who enjoys good acting, good plotlines and thought provoking action, this movie is not worth watching.

The movie is unrated.
