Bachelorette




2011 brought us the hit-comedy 'Bridesmaids' and in 2012 Leslye Headland who wrote and directed this film thought it'd be smart to make a film very similar to it and cash in on it's crazy charm. What makes a film that's already been done just as decent? Star actress' of course and maybe also a crazy airplane scene! This 2012 comedy-romance gave us American beauties Kirsten Dunst and Lizzy Caplan, Aussie funny-gal Rebel Wilson and Omanian-born Aussie-raised wacky red-head Isla Fisher.

Amid the expected chaos, our main characters learn more about themselves and what they truly want in life. Becky's (played by Wilson) big day puts things in perspective for her friends and pivots them into taking a closer look at their lives. These girls were joined with other cast mates like, Hayes MacArthur whom you may remember from 'Life as We Know It' and 'She's Out of my League', Kyle Bornheimer from 'You Again', the handsome and talented James Marsden who's film career is too much to mention as well as Adam Scott whom you may remember from 'Step Brothers', 'Knocked Up' and 'The Aviator'.

Rated R for it's similar sexual content, pervasive language and extensive drug-use as brought the giggles in 'Bridesmaids', this $3 million USD budget did not make it back at the box-office. Good attempt at trying to make another genius film - but unfortunately - that was already achieved and achieved rather brilliantly. Though good acting, 'Bridesmaids' was genuine improv and fantastic chemistry on screen with friends; I felt that 'Bachelorette' was more acting and a tad bit 'teen-shallow'.
