Review of Bachelorette (2012) by Richard C — 02 Sep 2012

I loved this movie! So much! But let me warn you by saying this it is for a certain audience. Some people may see these woman as monsters but unless you've been a part of a group like this it's easy to pass up the camaraderie and special type of friendship these woman have.

The film centers on a group of women celebrating one of their groups wedding. Chaos of course ensues in a variety of mishaps that I won't reveal because I don't want to ruin the fun. Also I'd like to say the script is smart.

, fresh and keeps things moving. Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplin and Rebel Wilson are charming and this is the best role Kirsten Dunst has had in some time she's supremely bitchy and lovable. too most this won't be much fun.

Sure the girls come off a little mean, jealous and maybe even shallow. But if you look under the representation you see wounded egos, damaged friendships, yearning hearts and struggling self acceptance amongst many others.

I grew up with friends like these and we are still friends. We may gossip every once in a while mostly out of jealousy but we are always there for one each other and we are very defensive of one another.

It's hard to explain the group dynamic if only to say that we bond greatly through our insecurities. This is the first film of I hope many where I will see people depicted that remind me so closely of people I know.

It's also filled with heartfelt nostalgia of anybody who grew up during the era with lots of 90's references and a knowing sense of grown up humor thats very fresh and doesn't feel like it's been explored much.

Now I'm not saying I or anyone I know are the messes these girls are but I can't help but relish the awesomely smart dirty humor and touching drama that make this Mean Girls for grown ups what it is.

A great time! 4/5.
