If there was ever a case for Hollywood’s need for great casting directors, Bachelorette would be a key piece of evidence.
Marred with a weak story, Bachelorette’s saving grace is the film’s charming cast, particuarly with Kirsten Dunst as Regan.

It’s not often that casting directors get mentioned in reviews, but Bachelorette’s Jennifer Euston deserves a printed ovation.

The aforementioned marred storyline follows three reunited high school “queen bees” who congregate in New York City for their “not-so-queen bee” (played by Rebel Wilson) friend’s wedding.

Isla Fisher plays Katie, an airy thirty-something who, when it comes to substance abuse, never says no.

Alongside Fisher’s Katie are Lizzy Caplan as Gena and Kirsten Dunst as Regan.

Gena is lost. With seemingly no direction in life, Gena gets through each day through a mixture of mean faces and cocaine.
And then there is Regan. Dunst shines as the Blackberry yielding, bad tempered maid of honor.

The three characters find themselves between a rock and a hard place after ripping the bride’s wedding dress just hours before she is set to walk down the aisle.

This event acts a catalyst that sends the three friends desperately scrambling around New York City in seach of tailor.

Of course, a la The Hangover, the bridesmaids end up finding more than just a tailor in their search to fix the ripped dress.
Bachelorette’s biggest problem exists in its writing.

The film’s screenwriter, Leslye Headland, crafts jokes that fall flat and ulimately leave the audience wanting more.
