Bachelorette

Not Bridesmaids...but more realistic
Like many others have said, this movie is not bridesmaids. This movie is funny...in a more subtle, dark, twisted kind of way. They don't get into any super crazy shenanigans like Kristen Wiig's character did on the plane, or at the bridal shower when she ripped apart the cookie. Obviously, none of the stuff that happened in Bridesmaids-- other than the fact that a woman was getting married-- was realistic. It was funny though!In Bachelorette, the girls are attending Becky (Rebel Wilson's) marriage. She's the first of the crew to get married. Kristen Dunst's character is jealous (which is poignant because most girls tend to be jealous when their friends start getting engaged and married and they're not). Isla Fisher's character is stuck at a retail job and seems overly happy but you figure out her jokes about self-harm aren't really jokes but she's battling severe depression. Jenna is the most messed up but good for a laugh. There's some heavy stuff with her and her ex-boyfriend that I wish they would've had them discuss more. Again, her interaction with her ex on a certain topic, which I won't give away, was very real and sad. Bach. is def a dark comedy. The laughs are there but it's not slapstick. I highly recommend it.

Honestly, one of my favorite movies
I don't understand the hate this movie gets, but let's try to put it into context (spoilers ahead):You're not supposed to like/support the Beefaces or excuse their behavior. They are legitimately terrible people. But they're funny, and cute together in their own way, and there's still pieces of them that are relatable despite their obvious flaws, so you can start to understand them.The side characters really shine in this movie, too. It's perfectly cast, and you see two traditionally 'face' actors (Marsden and Scott) in heel roles. I love that Rebel Wilson is given the chance to play someone confident in herself, who has already found someone who sees that her character is a beautiful worthy person (rather than searching to find that person). The Beefaces and their love interests all have great chemistry and play off each other so well. The pacing of the movie is excellent. It's just really enjoyable.Another review compared it to a "female version of the Hangover" and I have to agree. It definitely is, and it's totally worth a watch.

Mean Girls Grown Up
A not-so-good movie about absolutely horrible women and men, but it's totally addictive. I have watched this movie about 5 or 6 times and I love and hate it a little more each time. It's just so horrible and awesome! One of those guilty pleasure movies you just get in the mood for, like Clueless or She's All That. You know it's wrong, but you just do it anyway. Like eating Taco Bell!The humor is dark. And mean. If you like jokes about dead babies and insult comedy with a dash of chick flickness, you might like this one.Watch this with your girlfriends AFTER you get married so you can feel good that none of this stuff happened to you.**SOME SPOILERS BELOW**Basically, the cast of the Mean Girls grew up and took drugs and now they're getting married. Post-college aged, single, mean mean mean mean chicks get together and make a mess of this one poor girls' wedding.You will feel so so sorry for Becky (the bride) by the end. You might feel a teeny tiny bit sorry for the other horrible women in this film, but maybe not. From the beginning I felt awful for Becky. She's a full figured woman who has landed a hottie fiance and is the first of her group of friends to get married. For some reason the other girls feel she doesn't completely deserve her sweet fiance because she's not skinny. A good part of this movie is spent making fun of her for not being a size 2.Katie (red snapper) is depressed and needs a celexa instead of cocaine. She has self esteem issues and her life is going nowhere, she has a complete come-apart the night before the wedding which causes total chaos. Poor thing is crying for help and no one sees it.Reagan (Kirsten Dunst) is not really worth feeling sorry for aside from the fact that her hair is super greasy through the movie. She is super jealous of Becky for being the first to get married. She's a good friend in that she goes out of her way to control situations and make things happen, but she's a terrible friend because she's a horrible person. She's a greasy headed Regina George. She brings up the meanest stuff at the worst possible times.Jenna (the brunette one) is my favorite. She's mean and dark and the type of person I almost turned into when I was 20, and glad I didn't. She's on drugs, drinks too much, and she's underweight by about 10 pounds. She has a dark emotional background that she uses self deprecating humor and sarcasm to cover up.The guys in this movie are not worth describing. They're every guy in every movie like this ever.The theory about guys in bed (the convenience store scene) is 100% true. My friends and I spent about 15-20 sad, sad years testing it. We felt gratified as a unit when someone finally put it into words for the world to acknowledge.In the end everything turns out kind of okay. The wedding happens. But there's no proper resolution and you kind of feel empty inside. Like you didn't watch a comedy at all, more like some horrible tragedy. You need to watch a comedy after watching this comedy in order to sleep at night.
