'Direct to DVD'movie is enough of a warning

"Bachelor Party 2-The Last Temptation" is an awful movie based on tired stereotypes including foreign women, germaphobe nerds and women in general. Director James Ryan and writer Jay Longino appear to have kept track of every lame joke and every lame scenario and strung them into 104 minutes of sheer waste of film.
Mel (Sara Foster) and Ron (Josh Cooke) have been dating for a short while, but Ron's sure Mel is the one. After a botched proposal, the two decide to make it official and announce their plans to get married.
Todd (Warren Christie) wants to make future brother-in-law Ron's last days as a free man enjoyable and offers a last blast in Miami. Ron gets to bring his friends Seth (Danny Jacobs) the token nerd, Vince Vaughn lookalike Derek (Harland Williams) who is constantly fighting with his ex-wives and slacker dude with a fondness for t-shirts with charming (not) sayings, Jason (Greg Pitts). Derek's teenage son Tommy (Max Landwirth) gets to join in because his mother dropped him off to spend quality time with his father.
Todd has other motives and turns the trip from one scheme to another to get Ron to falter in his faithfulness to Sara. From a strip club trip gone wrong to a game of strip golf, the boys get into one mischievous misadventure after the other. Oh, and a sex addicts anonymous convention is nearby.
Not to be outdone, Mel's friends throw her a bachelorette party which makes its way to what her mother and other generations of women in her family refer to as a reading group.
Hint: there's no reading. It's equal offensiveness for everyone.
There are only so many times jokes about bodily functions and relationships are funny. In this case, none presented in "Bachelor" were.
Thankfully, "Bachelor" was released as a direct-to-dvd movie, so the general public would not have to be subjected to such a terrible movie. There must be better ways to make money and build a resume besides humiliating yourself, but no one involved in the movie must have taken the time to find out what exactly.
Male bonding and party movies should be left to the experts, not second and third rate impersonators.
"Bachelor" is unrated.
