Bachelorette

**
Release Date: August 16th 2013

Three friends are asked to be bridesmaids at a wedding of a woman they used to ridicule back in high school.

Director: Leslye Headland

Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan, Rebel Wilson, Adam Scott

And still these three friends (if they can be called friends) bitch about bride-to-be Becky (Rebel Wilson), and mainly because they're jealousy and lack of partners have left them bitter.

Regan (Kirsten Dunst) is chief bridesmaid to Becky. Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and Katie (Isla Fisher) are amongst the other bridesmaids, and they are probably the worst friends that Becky could have. Between them they get high on drugs (Regan is too level headed and angry to consider taking them), sabotage the pre-wedding speech and ruin the Bride's dress, all in a nights work.

This is all very enjoyable to watch, especially as Rebel Wilson for the first time is the tamest character on screen. It's difficult to maintain a viewing from start to finish when the characters are stupendously obnoxious. You will spend most of the time feeling sorry for the bride who spends most of her time off screen.

As time goes on, our trio aimlessly make things worse, and it's always a wonder why they didn't do the sensible thing in the first place and own up to their mistakes.

Overview: There are more cringe-worthy moments than funny ones. This isn't a film that's going to change anyone's lives. Stick to Bridesmaids.
