"Bachelorette" a mildly amusing, profane "Bridesmaids" ripoff
"Bachelorette" has a beautiful cast and a nice pedigree of producers in Will Ferrell and Will McKay. The problem is that it's been done and seen before, and much better, in last year's "Bridesmaids." Starring Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan, James Marsden, Adam Scott and scene stealer Rebel Wilson (interestingly enough, from "Bridesmaids"), the film is about three young women who attempt to put the past behind them by serving in the wedding of a woman (Wilson, the best thing about the film) they made fun of in high school. A few scattered, funny moments in this exceedingly raunchy, drug-fueled film doesn't add up to much. It's an unfortunate waste of a decent cast, most of whom do coke and run around acting silly. Doesn't help that the unoriginal, thin premise was done so much better in "Bridemaids," and with less drugs and nudity.
