Bachelorette is stacked with outrageous situations
and facing the necessary repair and clean of a ripped and stained
wedding dress; the women take to the streets in a desperate early hour’s
mission to save their friend’s big day. It feels like an escalator ride
into new realms of zaniness and though many scenes will leave viewers
cringing in disapproval (there’s cocaine snorting, binge drinking and
candid sex chatter aplenty) there should be plenty of big laughs too.
With their friend Becky (Rebel Wilson) set to marry her sweetheart,
Dale (Hayes MacArthur), the remaining members of her old high school
clique – Regan (Kirsten Dunst), Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and Katie (Isla
Fisher) – reunite in New York City for the wedding and what turns into a
wild eve bachelorette party.
In short,
Bachelorette is a film about unpleasant
people doing unflattering things. If that doesn’t sound like your thing

Not many people have liked it as much as I (and to be honest, I can't be sure I even liked it all that much) but it is a pleasure that leaves you feeling guilty afterwards. I laughed a lot and it took me by surprise. I was shocked by where the story went and how unflattering the characters were.
