“Bachelorette” picked up by IFC; one more review

Bachelorette has reportedly been bought by IFC studio at Sundance. Hopefully we’ll get a release date soon.

And we have another review of the film:

BACHELORETTE Review

Not all girls are sugar and spice everything nice. Some are bitter and mean and sometimes that behavior can be downright hilarious. For its first two-thirds, Bachelorette is unapologetic in how ugly, filthy, dark, and angry it’s willing to be for the sake of a laugh. The three main characters are sad and despicable, and writer-director Leslye Headland has no reservations about trying to justify her characters behavior until the last act. Then the movie falls into a sappy place where the humor drains away and we’re asked to root characters who were hilarious but completely beyond redemption.

Regan (Kirsten Dunst), Gena (Lizzy Caplan), and Katie (Isla Fisher) are surprised and seriously annoyed when their fat friend Becky (Rebel Wilson) becomes the first of their group to get married. When they’re not busy being total jerks, the three bridesmaids are being petty about their own baggage. Regan expected to be married first, Gena is holding a grudge against her high-school boyfriend Clyde (Adam Scott), and Katie is realizing that she may be too stupid to live. The night before the wedding, the drunk and coked-up gals, in an act of ultimate bitchiness, try to fit into Becky’s massive wedding dress and end up ripping it. The three then go on a mad dash to try and fix the dress, which leads them on various misadventures.

First “Bachelorette” poster

As well as the first clip, the Sundance Film Festival has also given us the first poster for Bachelorette! The movie’s web team posted it on their official Facebook page to coincide with the premiere in Sundance. It’s a suitably fun and rowdy looking poster and shows the four main girls of the film.

The premiere for Bachelorette was held on Monday at the Sundance Film Festival, but I cannot find any pictures or mention of Isla being there! I don’t know why … has anyone heard anything? Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, James Marsden and all the rest of the cast plus the director were in attendance, and apparently the screening was completely sold out, which is good! Reviews for the film have started to come in since the screening, and it’s good/mixed so far. Further down this post are some of those reviews, plus a few links to videos of the other cast at the premiere.

And don’t forget to check out the previous few posts for some fantastic and funny new interviews from Sundance.
