Bachelorette is a 2012 film directed by Leslye Headland and featuring a star-studded cast that includes Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan, and Rebel Wilson. This comedy-drama centers around the lives of four high-school friends who reunite ten years after graduation for a bachelorette party in New York City. Regan (Dunst), Gena (Caplan), and Katie (Fisher) were once inseparable friends, but over the years they have drifted apart. When Becky (Wilson) announces that she is getting married, they are surprised to learn that she has chosen to invite them to be her bridesmaids. Despite having fallen out of touch with Becky, the three women travel to New York City to join her and celebrate her upcoming nuptials.

The three women quickly realize that this isn't going to be a typical bachelorette party. They are shocked to discover that Becky is planning to marry Dale (Hayes MacArthur), a man they remember from high-school as a loser. Reluctantly, they agree to be her bridesmaids and begin to plan various pre-wedding activities.

As they spend time together, old tensions and rivalries resurface, and the women find themselves facing some uncomfortable truths about their pasts. Regan is a type-A control freak who is used to getting what she wants, but she is also battling a serious drug addiction. Gena is an embittered and deeply unhappy woman who is still carrying a torch for her high-school boyfriend. And Katie is a ditzy party girl who is desperate to recapture her youthful allure.

The movie revolves around the frenzied weekend that the four women spend together, with each member of the group finding herself in a series of increasingly outrageous situations. They all struggle to come to terms with the fact that they are no longer teenagers, and that their lives haven't turned out the way they had hoped.

In spite of its comic tone, Bachelorette tackles some serious issues. The movie deals with addiction, co-dependency, jealousy, and self-esteem. It also explores the theme of female relationships and the ways in which they can both lift up and undermine each other.

One of the most interesting aspects of the movie is the way in which it presents its female characters. These are not perfect, likable women, but three-dimensional human beings with flaws and imperfections. Regan, Gena, and Katie are all deeply flawed and complicated, but they are also relatable and ultimately sympathetic.

The performances of the lead actresses are all superb. Kirsten Dunst, in particular, stands out as Regan, delivering a nuanced and sensitive portrayal of a woman who is struggling with addiction. Isla Fisher is equally impressive as the damaged and vulnerable Katie, while Lizzy Caplan brings a sense of raw emotional intensity to her role as Gena.

Overall, Bachelorette is a funny, thought-provoking movie that explores the complexities of female relationships. It is a nuanced, character-driven drama that will appeal to anyone who has ever struggled to make sense of their own past, present, and future.

Bachelorette is a 2012 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.3 and a MetaScore of 53.
