Movies often show that those who were ridiculed in high school end up happily married before those who ridiculed them. This is the basis of the movie “Bachelorette.” This film centers around three bridesmaids, played by Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher, on the night before their friend’s wedding.
During the span of about 12 hours, a great deal of insanity, problems and accidents take place — including the main issue of destroying the wedding dress.
Throughout the movie, I definitely got the feeling that the writers had the idea of merging “Bridesmaids” and “The Hangover” in mind while writing the script.
Although this may have been their intention, the writers undoubtedly failed to come anywhere near the caliber of either of these movies. While this movie may have had funny moments, all of its moments were pretty much forgettable — unlike the other two films.
During “Bachelorette,” the writers definitely tried to use a great deal of crude humor to shock the audience.
While this type of humor may work for certain movies, it definitely did not work for this one. From extreme amounts of drug use to racial comments to sexual jokes, the writers of “Bachelorette” attempted to include all types of crude humor that really did not work for the movie.
While “Bachelorette” included a great deal of attempted humor, it also included a number of attempts at teaching lessons.
This film touched upon a number of issues that women may face. These problems included insecurities, bulimia and relationship issues.
Although the lessons that were shown in “Bachelorette” were supposed to be serious, it was difficult to take the characters teaching them seriously.
This was due to the fact that none of the characters in this film progressed or developed enough for the morals and lessons of the movie to be fully shown.
In the end, while I really wanted to like “Bachelorette,” this movie was definitely a letdown. It tried to compete with “Bridesmaids” and “The Hangover,” but, without a doubt, it did not come even close to them.
I really would not recommend watching this movie—you would probably be better off just watching “Bridesmaids” or “The Hangover” again instead.
