Despicable characters all around, mostly unfunny film. I only cared about Lizzy Caplan's storyline.

I had a lot of fun watching these actresses act like total cunts. I thought they were all great. The movie has some nice mean-spirited laughs.

B+

Clearly written by someone who wasn't popular in high school. Right from the start its clear that she doesn't like or at the very least doesn't have respect for any of the characters in the film (I use respect because I think Kyle Bornheimer and Rebel Wilson's characters are somewhat likeable but also as cowards). The quicker you realize everyone is a despicable person and that they all deserve one another, the more enjoyable and funnier I think the movie becomes.

This was pretty damn good. This is Bridesmaids funnier, much shorter, and nastier step-sister.

***½ (B+)

It is not funnier than Bridesmaids :P. It is funnier than The Hangover though.

Glad you enjoyed it.

IMO, The Hangover is funnier than this and Bridesmaids taken together. I think I laughed a total of one time during Bachelorette.

I thought it was really cute and there were times where it was hysterical. Dunst was great and she deserves a Golden Globe nod for her performance, though that will never happen.

7/10

I watched it again the other night with friends. Still really enjoyed it. Dunst is indeed great.

I love this movie. It's absolutely hilarious, but definitely mean-spirited. All of the actresses are great. A-
