Bachelorette: movie review
If you thought 鈥淏ridesmaids鈥� was a big step forward in women鈥檚 comedy, you鈥檒l probably find 鈥�Bachelorette鈥� a laugh riot, too. As for me, I don鈥檛 see why women being as slobby and gross as the guys is such a feminist breakthrough 鈥� especially since, as in 鈥淏achelorette,鈥� the slobbiness and grossness is witless.
Kirsten Dunst leads a cast playing old friends and bridesmaids who barf and snort coke and in general carry on like banshees while envying the plus-size bride they not so secretly dislike. Both Dunst and Isla Fisher, as another of the bridesmaids, have some sharp scenes, but this adaptation by writer-director Leslye Headland of her 2010 play 鈥淏achelorette鈥� is grating end to end. Grade: C- (Rated R for sexual content, pervasive language, and drug use.)
