Review of Bachelorette (2012) by Walter M — 22 Jul 2014

Anyway, I was planning on watching this even though it got mixed-leaning towards negative reviews. And I actually really enjoyed it. It's funny, quickly paced, and the acting is great. It even throws in a lesson about friendship at the end.

That being said, none of the leads are likeable. Well acted, but not likeable. Kirsten Dunst is a type-A control freak, Lizzy Caplan is an unreliable adult still acting like a teenager, and Isla Fisher is the typical "dumb whore".

Now, I say these things because they are the stereotypes given to us at the beginning of the movie, stereotypes that they all fall into. What made me like this movie though, is that by the end, you see more about them.

You see why they became this way and that there is more to them than when we first met them and I loved that. Like I said, the acting is great. The three ladies killed it. Especially Lizzy Caplan. Rebel Wilson got some great moments, even though you question why here character was friends with these people in the first place.

Adam Scott, James Marsden, and Andrew Rannells plays some of the guys, and they were all funny as well. Basically, I can see why people didn't like this. It's crude, raunchy, and full of unlikeable characters.

But I was laughing out loud so that's got to say something.
