By Simon Miraudo May 30, 2013 That Baz Luhrmann is incorrigible. When struck by inspiration, he’ll stop at nothing to bring his preposterous film concepts to life. Be it a baroque pop tribute to France’s most famous bordello, a three-hour romantic epic set in Australia’s sun-scorched desert, or a 3-D, hip-hop infused adaptation of F. […]

Bachelorette – Starring Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, and Isla Fisher. Directed by Leslye Headland. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Leslye Headland‘s bitterly unfunny Bachelorette not only squanders a talented cast of comic performers, but also chastises the audience for revelling in the unfiltered awfulness of their characters.
