With lovely Becky (Rebel Wilson) set to marry her handsome sweetheart, Dale (Hayes MacArthur), the remaining members of her high school clique reunite for one last bachelorette bacchanal in the Big Apple. Regan (Kirsten Dunst) is an overachieving, ueber-Maid of Honor who's secretly smarting over the fact that she's not the first to marry, while Gena (Lizzy Caplan) is a whip-smart sarcastic who's actually a closet romantic, and Katie (Isla Fisher) is a ditzy beauty who loves the good life. But when Becky insists on keeping the bachelorette party tame, the women proceed with an after-hours celebration of their own. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
Richard Brody, New Yorker
The women's dialogue is pungently ribald but diffuse; too often, shouting and shrieking and gesticulating take the place of engaged performance.
-
Dana Stevens, Slate
A nasty little piece of work -- a phrase I use not with contempt but with grudging admiration.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Its actresses - particularly Dunst - are terrific. Headland has a nice feel for music, too, and takes some editing risks.
-
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
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.
-
Sara Stewart, New York Post
As smart and popreferential as Headland's writing is, it's a little underwhelming when it comes to delivering on laughs.
