MCT:July 21, 2008Full of witty lines, comic situations and a fun, upbeat soundtrack, every scene in The Bachelor is shot to get the utmost comedy from the script, so as a comedy, this film is excellent. Where it falls down slightly is with the romance.
Jimmie Shannon has to get married before his thirtieth birthday or he loses out on his inheritance and sees all his employees at his billiard table factory out of work as the sharks move in and buy out his business (a clever device, making Jimmie have to sacrifice himself, rather than be greedy for money). So he has to get married. Only problem is, his birthday is tomorrow, and love of his life Anne just walked out on him. So now he has to ask each of his ex-girlfriends if they wouldn't mind entering into a loveless marriage, and failing that, gets his face in the paper and a church-full of angry brides-to-be. All very fun.
But the crux of the plot rests on Jimmie's inability to propose to Anne. But he repeats how he loves her, and admits he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, so when towards the end of the film he has a revelation that she is the one he wants to marry, it's rather difficult for us to comprehend what his problem was in the first place. It is never explained why he fears marriage, since he is happy to stay in a long-term monogamous relationship with Anne. This relationship itself is not on screen much, as the first twenty or so minutes of the film whizz us through the relationship by Jimmie's narration, without a look in to how Anne feels, odd, since the rest of the film cuts between the two of them.
But ultimately, even with a slightly unclear reason for the whole 'bachelor' thing, and a slight cheapness to the style, and forgiving the blatant continuity error of Anne's bouquet at the end, and the fact that Renee Zellweger sounds dubbed for a lot of the film (it's just the way she speaks) this is a constant laugh-out-loud comedy and definitely worth it. -

The only movie I've seen so far, that a man proposed 3 times with the same woman without being dumped. I think this movie has the most romantic proposal though not the best one.

La historia es exagerada, pero los novios valen la pena, tan guapos... por algo los habrán elegido para esa película, ya que la historia en sí es algo irreal.

MCT:May 1, 2008Thought this was so boring....and I like Chris O'Donnell but this is when bad movies happen to good actors.

If Chris O'Donnells career tanked because of his bad movie then this movie might be one of the causes. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good
-
MCT:January 20, 2008Looks kinda cute, I think. Apparently it has a lotta language though (and a couple questionable remarks)...
-
MCT:December 15, 2007Do you pronounce this movie to be lame, with numerous romantic comedy cliches and overall, is just one big cornball-fest. -- I DO.
-
MCT:December 2, 2007The movie brought up a few interesting points of view on marriage..The movie itself wasn't very intelligent, but it did make me thing because I have certain opinions on the topic.

It was predictable, but is the perfect light entertainment movie that you watch because you know it's gonna end well

Hilarious. Some great lines though i'd have to warn the ladies that it is more of a manly movie... you simply wouldn't understand.

Charming leads and clever gags sell this romantic comedy, a remake of Buster Keaton's 1925 silent classic, Seven Chances. This update breathes fresh life into a tired and creaky old premise: In order to ratain a whopping inheritance a confirmed bachelor must marry a woman - any woman - in just slightly over a day.

rowing a boat in the middle of central park with farmer hoggett one nice romantic afternoon made this guy realize he wanted to be married...

The Bachelor got critically slammed when it played in theaters, probably because reviewers couldn't help comparing it with the movie on which it's based, the brilliant Buster Keaton comedy Seven Chances.

MCT:July 12, 2007Oh, this is s funny. I love watching all those women in their wedding gowns chasing the groom. It's just hilarous! ;)

Another good movie slipped by me. This movie has some heart. Not a lot because I still think he married her for the money. Even though he said that he "had a vision!". Still anyway, I would have married him for a 100 million dollars. Decent movie.
-
MCT:June 20, 2007This movie would've been nothing without the comic geniuses of Chris O'Donnell & Renee Zellweger. This is Brad & my movie all the way. I expected it to be totally lame but it leaves all your expectations in the dust. Love it!

Like I've said before, I'm usually a sucker for romantic comedies, but this one sucked big time. I really can't put my finger on it but I didn't get that "ahhhhh" factor that I usually get. I only got it when Renee Zelwegger does her speech and that's at the very end of the movie. Definately, will never watch it again
