"Who will last until morning?" asks the poster for "The Bachelor Party" rhetorically. Shortly after its premiere, it turned out that few people could endure yet another Polish version of "The Hangover." The film, starring Joanna Opozda and Mateusz Banasiuk, will now be available on Netflix, where it will try its luck once again.
Netflix to Show Polish "The Bachelor Party"
Twelve years after "Kac Wawa," in July of this year, the crime comedy "The Bachelor Party" arrived in Polish cinemas. Viewers got exactly what the title promised and a bit more: an evening with a striptease interrupted by gangster showdowns. The production was utterly slammed by critics. In numerous unenthusiastic reviews, phrases like "rock bottom", "garbage", "a tragic movie with no coherent plot" and "the most primitive" were commonly used.
Just two months after its theatrical release, "The Bachelor Party" will now be available on Netflix. In Szymon Gonera's production, besides Joanna Opozda and Mateusz Banasiuk, you can also see Magdalena Perlińska, Rafał Zawierucha, and Jan Wieczorkowski. The plot roughly consists of many disjointed scenes, fast-paced action that suddenly slows down unnecessarily, long shots of women dancing in a club, and variations on how gangsters behave (e.g., discussing contemporary feminism).
Regardless of the production's quality, it will hit the platform this Friday, September 6. And it has a good chance of dominating Netflix over the weekend - Polish films, even the really bad ones, tend to perform surprisingly well on streaming platforms, with the only real competition for "The Bachelor Party" being "Fast & Furious" which is also arriving on the platform this week.
