Review of Bachelorette (2012) by Anne P — 13 Aug 2012

Absolutely horrible!! It's hard to believe that some many good actors signed on to this project. There were only a few decent laughs in the entire movie and attempts at serious commentary on personal reformation were strained and unconvincing.

Isla Fisher is completely wasted (since she spends the whole movie completely wasted), as are Adam Scott (who has most of the decent moments in the film) and James Marsden. The film is clearly trying to capitalize on the popularity of both "Bridesmaids" and "The Hangover" movies, but it comes nowhere near the mark.

It's been a long time since I've seen a film so badly written and so poorly paced that the start of nearly every scene felt like a jarring transition to unrelated content. It seemed as though Leslye Headland gathered little pieces of several promising themes and tossed them together to try to make an affecting story.

She failed and the film will surely bomb.
