Summary: This one should have a warning label...yikes!
Review: So, I saw the ad for this one and thought, Chris O'Denell as a loveable Bachelor, looks like fun...but was I ever in for a let down. THis movie is just awful. And on a side note, the depiction of 30-something women as gold-digging, husband-hungry, cometitive maniacs is rather bizzare.

Summary: Gaaah!
Review: What an utterly terrible movie! What an odd look at marriage! What a waste of talent (Renee and Chris' talents are lost in this cinematic mess)! What a cheesy and predictable plot! What a terrible ending! What a waste of money! What a waste of time!!!Honestly, it doesn't get much worse than this. I admitt, cheesy and predictable can be fun (eg. "The Cutting Edge" "Never Been Kissed" or "Miss Congenialtiy"), but this movie misses all the marks. When it's not boring, it's just ridiculous. Try "Cricle of Friends" or "Bridget Jones' Diary" on for size instead. Really, you'll thank me.

Summary: Light and fun film
Review: Chris O'Donnell is a bachelor with a serious fear of marriage. In order to inherit from his grandfather, he needs to marry. The obvious choice is the girlfriend he loves but he botches the proposal and she says no. He then chases down various ex-girlfriends looking for one who will marry him. Chris O'Donnell and Renee Z. have good chemistry. I thought the film was light and hilarious. I loved it.

Summary: yucky plot
Review: Poor Renee Zellweger -- she is such a great actress usually known for choice roles portraying interesting women. So why is she in this mess? Zellweger portrays used, beleaguered Anne, long-time girlfriend of Jimmy, who doesn't want to commit until he has to, when his deceased grandfather's will says if Jimmy isn't married by his 30th birthday, he loses everything. This includes the family pool hall, meaning he will have to fire all of his employees. Jimmy gets this news the day before his 30th birthday -- right after a fight with Anne when he proposes with a smirk and the words "You win" --- and starts calling up his ex-girlfriends looking for a wife. He can't get himself to marry the girl he likes to make her happy, but he'll propose to strangers for money and keeping people employed -- who would have found other employment, believe it or not. There are lots of pool halls out there! You know how this thing ends before you even put it in the VCR but you'll wish it ended any other way. It was probably a laugh-riot when Buster Keaton did the original in the 1920s, but in 1999, it sure is anything but.

Summary: A ho-hum romance
Review: I am a sucker for romance. Anything with just the slightest amount of sap will make me happy. The first time I saw this movie, I loved it. I loved it so much, I went and bought it. Now I've seen it a few more times... and, well, I don't love it as much. Since I see so many movies over and over again, I get to know what makes a truly great romantic comedy... this isn't one of them. The idea is good. A man who doesn't want to marry has to. Sounds like a great romantic comedy. I guess it's just little things that sort of make me groan inside. I think part of it is how many women are willing to just take their lives and surrender them to a man they don't even know--after he asks all the women he does know and they turn him down. Also, how is it that these women conveniently have wedding dresses? While the sea of white running up and down the streets of San Francisco is a good image, it's also pretty corny. Renee Zellweger saves this movie. She's hilarious and charming--it's no wonder Chris O'Donnell's character (Jimmie) falls in love with her. Every scene of her after one of Jimmie's proposals are excellent. It's a decent movie to see if you're in the mood for a no-thinking chick flick. There are parts that I love to watch. Just beware--Mariah Carey has a cameo.

Summary: "Get married Jimmy or lose $100 million bucks!"
Review: After I saw this movie, I became crazy for it because it's so funny, and it has the very lovely Renee Zellweger. After his grandpa bites the big one, Jimmy Shannon (Chris O'Donnell in a very funny role), a marriage shy bachelor, learns he will inherit a hundred million bucks unless he gets married before he turns 30 years old in 24 hours. Only problem is he messed up his proposal to his girlfriend Anne (lovely Zellweger), and she wont consider marrying him now unless he's totally wanting to strap on the old ball and chain. Now Jimmy's only hope is to ask every woman he knows to marry him. Oh boy! Soon things go from bad to worse when his buddy Marco puts his face on the cover of the newspaper, and now every woman in the city is dying to be his wife. Very funny, and charming all at once. O'Donnell can sure run fast especially with a thousand brides on his tail! I just hope my wedding will never be like Jimmy's (laughing)!!!

Summary: Dire
Review: This tired romantic comedy is a con as it is neither comic nor romantic. The perfunctory plot has Jimmie (O'Donnell) as a fun-loving guy that is certainly in no rush to settle down. When his grandfather dies and promises him $120 million on the condition that he gets married within 24 hours. The rest of the movie basically concerns his worries over trying to win back Anne (Zellweger) whilst he 'struggles' with the dilemma of whether he only wants to marry her for the cash or not. Of course, this leads to a lot of running after Anne, who dumped him previously due to a botched marriage proposal the night before. In between his friends try and fix him up with a few celebrity cameos such as Mariah Carey. O'Donnell is quite unable to carry a movie by himself and Zellweger's endearing character isn't on screen nearly as much as you'd like her to be. The list of cameos is perhaps reason enough to watch this, and to be fair there is one genuinely funny scene where Jimmie is chased down the street by hundreds of wannabe brides. Yet its sappy conclusion and too-perfect-to-be true realisation of Jimmie at the end that he does love Anne make this one movie to miss.

Summary: Fall of The Seat Laughter!
Review: This is a awesome movie and I totally think that you should see it! Just remember that it is rated PG-13, not PG, cause they say stuff that little kids either won't get, or will be much embaressed by it. But it is so funny, from the middle of the movie, you are shouting at the TV saying, "Aw- c'mon! What happens!" So, it's a really good movie!!!

Summary: Great Movie For Couples
Review: This movie is by no means a perfect movie. It has its flaws but that doesn't take away from just how likable it is. Ladies, this is the movie to watch with your boyfriends/husbands/whatevers. They'll enjoy it just as much as you. Guys, buy this bad boy and watch it with your significant other. They'll love it and you'll like it, too. It's not a "chick flick" at all. It's a very funny romantic comedy that never gets sappy or dippy.

Summary: Thoughtless
Review: "The Bachelor" looks and feels like it was conceived, written, and filmed over a long-weekend, as if it were a rehearsal for a real movie. Watching this is absolutely exhausting, as the script limps along in mind-numbingly obvious directions. Overall the acting is poor, but is otherwise shackled by inane dialogue. I'm ashamed for not having found something better to with with the 90+ minutes this movie stole from me.
