Review of The Bachelor

The Bachelor (2016)
8/10
A Fun Movie
27 February 2021
Look, this movie is not about high-brow humor, nor are there any clever, witty dialogue. It is demented and at times politically incorrect. But this is a story about a group of four twenty-somethings in their adventures in female conquest. Who among us was not demented in our twenties? This is a movie cut from the same dye as The Three Stooges and Beevis and Butthead. Not fine art but lunkhead humor, a farce, a lot of fun. Once you get past the expectation that you are seeing a movie on par with Lawrence of Arabia and see the movie for what it is, it is actually quite entertaining.

My one reservation is that this movie spawned a franchise, with Bachelor II and Bachelor III. Like most franchises, each subsequent movie was worse than the previous, if that's possible. I would seriously ignore the later Bachelor movies. I'm afraid this is the best one of the lot. But, as I am saying, this movie will give you a chuckle or two, if not to see how dense this group of bachelors really are. Its at least worth a viewing.
