If anything, it's closer to The Hangover. And although it is not as comically successful as either of the two, it still works as a kinky combination. Headland's ability to juxtapose raunchy foul humor with insight and self-reconciliation makes the film watchable, and Dunst's and Caplan's performances are incredible. Despite some jokes being either too flat, one dimensional, or too sadistic to arouse a serious laugh, most of the humor in this film works. You'll definitely laugh a lot as you watch it. As the film progresses, it loses it's comedic quality and, once raw emotion and pity are forced onto the characters, degrades into something like oil and water. In the end, though, Bachelorette proves to be a fun and digestible film with a resolute although spastic storyline and interesting and well acted characters. Expect more from Headland as she fine tunes her skills to make a meaningful comedy. Expand

Absolutely hilarious. I laughed from beginning to end. Can't really ask more out of a comedy. Sure, the girls aren't likable, but they were very compelling characters, and I actually ended up caring for them. Isla Fisher gives one of the bestAbsolutely hilarious.

I thought this film was really funny in an audacious sort of way.
It's based on Headland's play of the same name.
I found another interesting take on it here:

This was over-the-top smart and funny. Excellent story and very well acted. The three girls were fantastic, and Rebel Wilson is going to be a star. Perhaps a cult classic is in our midst?

this is a wonderfully snarky film. kirsten dunst, lizzy caplan and isla fisher are all wonderful as a group of hot who hate everybody. in the end the film wimps out with an overly sweet ending, but it has some surprisingly touching momentsthis is a wonderfully snarky film. kirsten dunst, lizzy caplan and isla fisher are all wonderful as a group of hot who hate everybody. in the end the film wimps out with an overly sweet ending, but it has some surprisingly touching moments which redeem it.

I'll be honest: I expected a second-rate Bridesmaids copycat. What we get is a much different take on wedding mayhem... and I loved every minute of it.

Based on Leslye Headland's play which she adapted, Headland has comic smarts and she can do better than this, she focuses more on the dark humor than the characters. Bridesmaids a control-freak Regan (Kirsten Dunst), slutty Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and a drunken airhead Katie (Isla Fisher) are apart of their friend Becky's (Rebel Wilson) wedding who they used to tease in high school. The film makes excuses to try to like the characters and it has a **** feel good ending. Kirsten Dunst and Caplan try to make this mediocre stereotypical comedy good but fail, Fisher tries and yet she can barely act. There are some enjoyable parts to this comedy, go watch this film drunk and you'll have a blast! But this comedy is racist, sexist. Grade C- Expand

Once you get over the immaturity of Gena and Katy, which is very annoying to start with and gets worse as the film plays on, until the resolve.

Part of the film is their story of maturing into "better" people. For me, Kirsten Dunst and Rebel Wilson hold this film together. The direction could have been tighter and the story could've done with a re-write. But it didn't make me turn off, and I did laugh at a few things, which is good. Expand
