No one should be too mean or too venal, or, for that matter, too nice. But in the second half, glimmers of humanity begin to show through their shallow, brittle facades.Īnd where's the fun in that? One of the most reprehensible bits of marketing-speak to make its way into common usage in recent years is the word "relatable," which, when we're talking about fictional characters, has come to mean figures who somehow reinforce our own vague ideas about how people should behave - chiefly so we can feel better about ourselves. They publicly leak her old high school nickname, which happens to be "Pigface."Īnd just hours before the wedding, as the bride-to-be is getting her beauty sleep, two of them try to cram into her wedding gown as a gag - she's a plus-sized cupcake of a woman - and rip it seemingly beyond repair.įor the first half of Bachelorette, these bridesmaids from hell - they're played by Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher and Lizzy Caplan, and their bride-to-be friend is Rebel Wilson - have no redeeming qualities. The three protagonists of Bachelorette do some pretty terrible things: They talk trash behind a fourth friend's back, kvetching bitterly about having to be bridesmaids at her wedding. With: Rebel Wilson, Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, Isla Fisher, James Marsden, Adam Scott, Hayes MacArthur Rated R for sexual content, pervasive language and drug use
