Bachelorette (2012)

Genre: Comedy

Directed by: Leslye Headland

Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan

Running time: 87 minutes

Three women who all have very deep-rooted issues with alcohol, drugs and sex reunite for the wedding of one of their friends. The bride-to-be is the last one they expected to get hitch, as her weight issues have made her the butt of jokes all her life. The three girls will have to contend with their respective feelings about the black sheep finding love first as they try to organize a bachelorette party for her.

Bachelorette certainly has its moments, as it offers a good dose of honest humor, thus tackling some pressing issues in our society too focused on image and looks. By the end of it, though, it becomes a tad predictable and overly sentimental. On the way there, a few good jokes were thrown in, and it gave me a good chuckle.

The actors and actresses were all OK in their respective roles. Nothing to write home about, but nothing really bad either. Bachelorette is an entertaining movie for what it is, if you go in like I did with low expectations.
