Review of Bachelorette (2012) by Christopher H — 08 Sep 2012

If not for the impressive showing from the leading ladies, "Bachelorette" would be extremely lacking. The humor is female vulgarity at its finest, with an honesty of how manipulative ladies can be, even with their closest "friends".

There's definitely a lot of inside humor or real-life experiences at play in the film, as the allusions to past events seem extremely close to the chest. Where the film falls short is in the severity of the night's events.

If you're going to tout ruckus, then go all out. The plot lines are drawn in the sand and you see the conclusions coming from a mile away, but somehow placing a serious actress like Kirsten Dunst in the midst of these comedic ladies, while reuniting Lizzy Caplan and Adam Scott ("Party Down") creates an overall enjoyable comedy, even if it doesn't quite live up to "The Hangover" or "Bridesmaids".
