Leave your thoughts about Bachelorette.
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughQuickly subverts expectations with its mordant honesty and its hilarious balancing of sensitivity and scatalogy. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttYou might tag the young writer-director Leslye Headland as someone to watch in the future. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...there's no soft center here, no sweetness lurking to cut the tart. This is a raw and genuinely brave film that falters here and there, but gets up swearing and snarling, a razor in its pretty little hand. |
| VarietyJustin ChangAfter a promisingly funny first half, this tale of three coke-snorting gal-pals trying not to screw up their friend's nuptials all but drowns in its own catty cynicism, turning as stingy with emotion and insight as it is with real laughs. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsWhile Bachelorette is admirably free of the normal formulas governing movies that revolve around women and wedding dresses, it doesn't offer anything more satisfying in their stead. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenBachelorette is more tartly written, better acted and less forgiving than male-centric equivalents like the "Hangover" movies. |
| Film.comWilliam Goss[Compared to Bridesmaids]... this is more of an ensemble effort, gamely led by the trio (and potentially awesome law firm) of Dunst, Fisher and Caplan. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirI'm going to suggest, somewhat tentatively, that Bachelorette is most unlike "Bridesmaids" because it fundamentally isn't a comedy at all, but something closer to a dense, dark character drama tarted up in high heels and a short skirt and dosed with pills and coke. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisDunst is the realest, rawest thing in the film. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleThe film is also less bloated than "Bridesmaids" - a comedy is always more nimble at 90 minutes than two hours - and it's less maudlin, too. It's the aberrant, foul-mouthed child of "Superbad" and "Young Adult." |
