Perfect cast and a good story
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Being male, it might seem different:THIS Hollywood film is just another piece of junk with plenty of derogatory remarks towards the actresses. The worst phrase I heard is "Shut the f**k up, c**t!" during a sex scene.Everything pertains to the conclusion that women are cheap and can be considered as objects instead of people with emotions, feelings, respect and all.I don't mind curses in films, it's fine, understandable when in the context. BUT, purposeful derogatory curses are really bad.General male attitude towards females is what is most disturbing in this film. (only 1 guy had respect for females)ABOUT the acting/comedy:I didn't laugh like.. AT ALL! The film is about how friends try their best to make up for a stupid mistake with a countdown to a wedding. Some drunk & high girls saying meaningless words does not make it a comedy. Kirsten Dunst did a nice job, really appreciable. Lizzy Caplan has proved that she can do much for the big screen as well. Isla Fisher was just the third wheel, without adding much weight to the whole film, and was totally wasted during most of the film.The acting, well, everyone did what the script said to do.I hate this movie. I can't believe it myself.
This movie made me realized that a group of friends are not necessarily friends with each other. There is one glue to the friendship of these girls. Definitely made me hate the other girls, I understood them, but they definitely are not the kind of people I will hang around with.The ending is OK, not so dramatic, no tears shed here, but it was not a total waste of time to watch this movie.I was hoping for apologies here and there, flashbacks, etc., to get the feel of their friendship, but did not see it at all.Keep your expectation low when watching this movie.
Bachelorette is written and directed by Leslye Headland and it was adapted from her play of the same title.It stars Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher.It is about three troubled women who reunite for the wedding of a friend whom was ridiculed in high school. The three friends are: Regan, an overachieving Maid of Honor who's secretly smarting over the fact that she's not the first to marry;Gena,a whip-smart sarcastic who actually a closet romantic;and Katie,a ditzy beauty who loves the good life. On the night before an old friend's wedding, three frisky bridesmaids go searching for a little fun but find much more than they bargained for. With lovely Becky set to marry her handsome sweetheart, Dale, the remaining members of her high school clique reunite for one last bachelorette bacchanal in the Big Apple. Despite of the talent involved to make is a good movie,it turned out to be underwhelming due to an average screenplay and the humor rarely delivered laughs to the viewer.Also,it also played safe on the story to come up with a sentimental conclusion to the detriment of the film as a whole despite having a few good moments.
I could live a hundred years and not understand why this received such low ratings. Similar to Bridesmaids in content, this has a harder edge as well as a soft heart, but it is always funny and always believable.It pulls no punches around how self-centred and shallow people often are. You could almost believe that Becky's friends are trying to ruin her wedding and subconsciously this may be what is happening, but the characters, brilliantly led by Kirsten Dunst's bitter Regan in their mayhem, come good in the end and make peace with the fact that Becky is getting married and they are not - and in the main confront their own issues. If this sounds cheesy, it isn't. The girls lurch from one to disaster to another in a totally relatable way. The Acting is terrific, but the real star is the script which fires one-liner after one-liner at you without losing narrative discipline, unlike a lot of comedies these days that seem to be written as extended skits rather than stories.Witty, pretty and badass, this film does not disappoint. Ignore. The. ratings. Get it on DVD.
