Bachelorette (** out of ****)

In the wake of the success of the hilarious Bridesmaids comes the less stellar Bachelorette. Instead of combining a variety of characters, all with their own humor to bring, this film creates three very unlikable similar leads. Regan (Kirstin Dunst), Katie (Isla Fisher) and Gena (Lizzy Caplan) are all bridesmaids in their high-school friend's wedding They're load mouth, spoiled, selfish and act superior to everyone else. Being an unlikable character is not a problem when done correctly. Paul Giamatti isn't great hero in Sideways but he has a depth. Our leads here aren't one dimensional but just not very interesting. The three girls embark on a wild night after they in a foolishly rip the wedding dress. The movie doesn't have many big laughs nor is that pleasant to watch. The emotional moments show some interesting insight on each character but the intrigue is quick to fade. Bachelorette takes elements from other successful comedies and just makes things average. Not much more to say here because there is not much to see in the first place.

** out of ****
