Critic Reviews

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    Viewers have almost two hours to become thoroughly disgusted

  • Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

    You know a movie is desperately overreaching when Peter Ustinov, affecting a dreadful southern accent as Jimmy's grandfather, must yell into a megaphone for no apparent reason: 'The human condition!'

  • Betsy Sherman, Boston Globe

    Probably the best that can be said about The Bachelor is that it gave a lot of work to female extras.

  • Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    The funny thing is, nobody who made The Bachelor seems to notice that the script pinpoints its own formulaic emptiness before wheezing on to its foregone happy ending.

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    O'Donnell, former teen idol/Boy Wonder, has always proven to be far less beefcake than rice cake.

    Batman`s Sidekick. Unlike his role as Robin, I like watching Chris O`Donell other Movies. This Movie is like a Fun Slide so are we Singles. lol It was nice to see he didnt want to marry the girl because out of Egoistical reasons. In my opinion this is not really a typical Chick… More
