Bachelorette
Three friends are asked to be bridesmaids at a wedding of a woman they used to ridicule back in high school. They unintentionally create a mess of their friend's wedding gown, therefore they set out on a frantic search for a replacement. But their mission degenerates into a night of booze, drugs and nightclubbing.

Bachelorette strives to recapture the close-to-the-knuckle comic mayhem that made Bridesmaids a surprise hit, but the essential sweetness that underpinned the earlier film's gross-out gags is sadly lacking.

The edginess is just window dressing. The message is as schmaltzy as anything you'd find in a kooky rom-com.

Bachelorette is very much its own bitter brew, using the comic framework of a botched, coke-fuelled hen night to examine the stinging self-loathing exposed in three women by another's happiest day.

We always want women behaving badly, don't we? And damn, are Dunst and Co. good at it.

I don't see why women being as slobby and gross as the guys is such a feminist breakthrough -- especially since, as in Bachelorette, the slobbiness and grossness is witless.

Bridesmaids it's not.

As smart and popreferential as Headland's writing is, it's a little underwhelming when it comes to delivering on laughs.

A nasty little piece of work -- a phrase I use not with contempt but with grudging admiration.

This isn't Bridesmaids, it's HurlyBurly for women pushing 30.

Its actresses - particularly Dunst - are terrific. Headland has a nice feel for music, too, and takes some editing risks.

It's a sour, only fitfully funny affair, wasting the abilities of its otherwise talented cast, which includes Kirsten Dunst, James Marsden, Adam Scott and Isla Fisher.

The women's dialogue is pungently ribald but diffuse; too often, shouting and shrieking and gesticulating take the place of engaged performance.
