We all knew it was going to happen. After Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy shocked audiences with their raunchy, grossed-out tale of wedding horror in last year's surprise hit Bridesmaids, there was bound to be countless mimics. What I never expected was for the initial copycat to be so damn funny!
Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher play three bridesmaids, all of whom are angry that their friend, played to perfection by Rebel Wilson, is getting married before them. Filled with drugs, sex and heavy cursing, the girls embark on a wild journey to honor the one they used to ridicule back in high school.
Much like Bridesmaids did last year, Bachelorette successfully shines a light on the reality of women and their ego-centric friendships. Kirsten Dunst is the most surprising out of the trio of leading ladies, putting her seemingly innocent image to rest as she leads the charge against scene stealing Wilson's Becky - aka Pig Face.
The film marks the debut of writer/director Leslye Headland, who is able to craft a story that truly does spark a sense of uniqueness amid all the deja-vu. At the end of the day you don't have anything close to Melissa McCarthy, but in its own way Bachelorette breaks from the mold and forms its own identity.
