Sean of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Bachelorette is the latest film to capitalize on the resurgence of the bachelor party movie genre, mostly thanks to The Hangover films. The genre has been popular since Tom Hanks first appeared in Bachelor Party, and since, the genre has only been added to with varying results. This is the first all-female bachelorette party film that I can think of, and it’s written and directed by a woman, Leslye Headland, a staff writer on the short-lived, but brilliant FX show Terriers."

Lindsay also addresses the sexual harassment allegations surfacing in Hollywood: "If something happened to you, if you feel like you were wronged, you should speak your piece. And I’m happy to see women brave enough to do that."

A good portion of 2012′s biggest critical and financial successes are coming to Blu-ray this week including a trip back to Middle Earth, the newest adaptation of a Broadway classic, Kathryn Bigelow’s search for Osama bin Laden, and the latest “comedy” from Judd Apatow. On the catalog front things are on the lighter side with a British Godzilla ripoff, a time travelling motorcyclist, and one of the quintessential 80s teen sex comedies.
I've watched the hobbit and les miserables and i must say that both are very good movies. Going to buy those soon for sure.
Like a less assured spiritual cousin to last year’s Young Adult, Bachelorette explores what happened to the alpha females in high school, and also much like that earlier film, it reaches the conclusion that they’ve a) not changed a whole lot and b) have morphed from the sexual/physical envy of their peers to pitiable beings slowly watching life pass them by. Where the two films diverge is in Bachelorette’s devotion to the ritual humiliation of its subjects, a tact that’s definitely funnier, if less emotionally rich.
