Summary: Good harmless romantic comedy
Review: This movie was critically destroyed when it was released, but it is not that bad, it is a harmless little romantic comedy. The worst thing about it is that its view of male-female relationships is so backward - especially in a movie set in modern-day San Francisco!. Chris O'Donnell is not a great actor, but he is good portraying this earnest, somewhat shallow man. And Renee, well, she is the best thing in the picture, she shines, as usual. And the scene where O'Donnell fumbles his marriage proposal to Zellweger - in many ways the central scene of the movie - is pretty funny. I haven't seen Buster Keaton original movie, but I don't doubt it was superior to this, but this movie is a nice time-killer in a rainy friday night.

Summary: COULD'VE BEEN BETTER, BUT OVERALL FUN MOVIE
Review: Forget the critics who slam this movie just because it doesn't measure up to "Gone With The Wind" or something like that. See "The Bachelor" for yourself with a relaxed attitude and an open mind and you'll have some fun, I guarantee it. I admit, things are exxagerated a bit, but that's exactly what makes this movie so funny. Imagine yourself proposing to all of your ex-partners to see if one will marry you within 24 hours in order to inherit 100 million bucks! Again, I'm not going to sit here and say that it was the greatest movie ever, but I definitely had some fun watching it. Worth a rental or two.

Summary: SORT OF LIKE....HAMLET
Review: This perceptive and clever tale was probably written by Shakespeare. How cool! Man has to marry quickly, or lose inheritance. Nearly as good as the Three Stooges version, this art house presentation....OK, OK, OK. Obviously this movie was made to make a buck. But it does have it's moments. Zelwinger is sooo pretty! The greedy mob of brides descending on San Fransisco is rather amusing, and it's neat to see the old guys show up in a new film. Zelwinger and O'Donnell pay it straight, and that makes it even funnier. Now, there is something weird about the timeline. I didn't now a person could call in a classified ad in the middle of the night and see it appear in a newspaper that has already been pressed. So, I guess we just have to ignore details and physics and things like that. And it has the happiest ending that has ever taken place on a fire escape! If your girlfriend is the special ed type, she'll love it. Order the cheese pizza now!

Summary: I SAW IT
Review: Easy on the eyes, and not too complicated, this nearly B-MOVIE is actually kind of fun. Great to see O'Donnell in a different kind of role. Zelwinger ofcourse is great - her character is a bit annoying at times - , but it's the cameos that help move the film along. He must Marry soon! Or he stands to lose millions. Desperate, he runs a classified ad, and it somehow appears in the next paper. How did he do that? It takes me three days to run an ad. The scene of goldiggers chasing him around San Fransisco is as funny as it is stupid. Citizen Kane it's not, but it's OK. She'll like it.

Summary: One of the best comedies I've seen
Review: The Bachelor is a movie that never gets old. The lessons of marriage presented really come across. Superb acting from Chris O'Donnell, Renee Zellweger, Hal Holbrook and Edward Asner.

Summary: A sweet movie
Review: This is a cute love story, with one of my all-time favorite movie lines...The priest...in the boat..."It's a wonderful thing, as time goes by, to be with someone who looks into your face, when you've gotten old, and still sees what you think you look like." Oh..the tears would run for a year if a man ever really said that to a woman!!

Summary: Not much redeeming value
Review: I don't mind implausible storied, but only if they can pull it off. I was sad to discover that Chris O'Donnell can't act. hadn't noticed before because he was well cast in a few other roles, but fortunately never had to carry a story. Part of the problem might go to the director. In fact the director is highly suspect - the timing was off and there is no evidence that the man in charge had any clear view of what he wanted to bring out in the characters or storyline. I was sorry I spent the money on the rental. Don't bother.

Summary: Great fun for all!
Review: This movie is Fun. Just fun. Not brilliant, nothing new, and not hilarious. But it is fun and enjoyable. This is a wonder film to own or rent. Not only does it provide a laugh, but also a smile. It's a perfect date movie. The Bachelor has its moments. Chris O'Donnell is perfectly casted as a bachelor learning to take the next step to marriage. His supporting cast is wonderful as well. They make friendship worthwhile with moments of exasperation and frustration, but that's what friendship is all about! I enjoyed this movie. I didn't give this movie too much expectations but it surprised me. It gave me a wonderful flick that I'll be recommending to friends .... It's not your Jim Carey humor, it's not your typical romance movie, and it's not your cheesy remake either. It's a nice, warm and friendly movie geared for those who likes comedy-romances. It's a fun movie. It's better than expected and it's enjoyable.

Summary: Pretty Funny!
Review: Jimmie Shannon was to get marry (with some conditions attached, of course!) before his 30th birthday in order to the $100 million inheritance from his grandfather. The BIG problem was... Jimmie's birthday was the next day and he had to get hitched within 24 hours. The BIGGER problem was... Jimmie was still not ready for the idea of a marriage. But still, in order to get the inheritance, Jimmie proposed to his long-time girlfriend, Anne, anyway. Anne rejected his proposal straightaway as she could see that he was not sincere. Watch through the show to see ways that Jimmie came up with in order to get the inheritance... and whether he could get it , and Anne's hand, in the end.Watch this movie if you want a/many laugh(s)!

Summary: Not So Great
Review: Chris O'Donnell certainly has the potential to be a great actor. He should not waste is time selling just his pretty face. The plot was non-existent and when it existed it was too transparrent. We love Renée Zellweger, her roll in Jerry Macquire was perfect. She had virtually no lines worth remembering. The best part of the film came when the Priest was speaking with O'Donnel on the lake near the Palace of Fine Arts. O'Donnell realized what love was, at least for him. One more point. Unless Renée Zellweger's character and that of her roommate were making more than $500,000 per year, they could not have afforded that appartment. I have been in that appartment, the rent was $5,500 per month and the condo was worth more than $1.5 million. You figure!
