Critics Consensus

It has its moments, but Bachelorette ultimately plays it too safe with its trio of unlikable leads, betraying them with a predictably sentimental final act that undermines the bracingly honest humor preceding it.

You don't have to relate to their bad choices to understand the bizarre nature of female friendships. Screw The Hangover; Bachelorette is where it's at.

3/5

The comedy's anarchic tone is refreshing but it leaves little room for heart. You'll laugh, but you might feel a bit hollow inside.

We always want women behaving badly, don't we? And damn, are Dunst and Co. good at it.

3/4

It would be a major mistake to think that Bachelorette is simply a rip-off of Bridesmaids with a healthy dose of Mean Girls stirred into the mix. This comedy clearly marches to its own beat.

2/5

The film is simply unbelievable; it's ruined not by the actresses or the script, but by the tone -- and not just ruined: destroyed, mashed into a pulp.

Just horrible! Stupid, unimaginative, boring, and annoying. A waste of an amazing cast.

Have you seen the film `Bridesmaids?' It's pretty much the question you have to ask yourself when you're considering watching the `Bachelorette.' It's effectively a poor clone/remake/whatever. It's about a woman who's going to get married the next day, when her best friends accidentally tear up her wedding dress (yes, seriously). Therefore, they have to get it fixed in the middle of the night and end up going on a hilarious adventure. Unfortunately, it's not hilarious. It's not even funny. I checked the time on the DVD at about 40 minutes in and I still hadn't laughed. And that's not a good sign for a comedy. If you check out the general reviews, you'll see that most people describe it as a `horrible' film. I wouldn't call it horrible, just not funny. The characters are pretty unlikeable and every mess they get into is largely their fault. You won't really care about any of them and, despite being good actresses (Kristen Dunst and Isla Fisher) they can't bring any real humour to this film. If you like the idea of a film that's basically `a female The Hangover' stick to Bridesmaids. That had charm and humour. This has neither.

Headland is not a good director, period.

This film is crude and nasty. On the plus side, it does make it's own rules as it walks a unique path through a genre that can so often be cliched and predictable. The trouble is, it's frank approach leaves the viewer feeling disconnected. When the film ends you won't care about anything you've seen.
