What to Know

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.

Nina Autostraddle 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. Aug 13, 2021 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Punch Drunk Critics We always want women behaving badly, don't we? And damn, are Dunst and Co. good at it. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2017 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 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. Rated: 3/4 Sep 22, 2021 Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) 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. Rated: 2/5 Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Emily Rems Bust Magazine Bridesmaids it's not. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

John C 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Cameron M Headland is not a good director, period. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Kaydyn W Wow.. I thought I was going to enjoy this movie but my experience was anything but that. The main characters are super unlikable and I struggle to believe that these girls have been "friends" for so long. Terrible movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Test T 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Lisa C Painful. Plot was terrible from the beginning. Why would the sweet bride have these horrible people as bridesmaids? I'm sure she would have made nicer friends after high school. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/22 Full Review danielle r Fat shaming, lots of casual R-word use, bullying, extreme selfishness and betrayal, SO MUCH FAT SHAMING, suicide jokes, casual OD-ing, objectification, hateable characters (like, all of them) and a ton of ridiculous & unrealistic decisions and plot points. There's not even a necessary tone change for a likable resolution- it just keeps on going right up until the end. It's hard to watch from start to finish, but try it if you're curious, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️ PS: Horatio Sanz is listed as ‘barely attractive guy' in the credits; just one indication of how the writer(s) of this film clearly have serious physical insecurities that they should talk to someone about… Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
