Opening today in theaters, the comedy Bachelorette follows three longtime friends (Lizzy Caplan, Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher) who have to put their past aside while planning a bachelorette party for a girl they mocked in high school (Rebel Wilson). That doesn't mean that the friends behave properly, with wedding dresses getting ripped and debauchery only the beginning of the ladies' wild night.
Not unlike last year's Bridesmaids, Bachelorette is another comedy about women getting raunchy and rowdy, a trend that Fisher told Hollywood Dailies has "been around" but is "now on everyone's radar." When the cast sat down with Audrey Cleo, they discussed women in comedy and offered their own preferences for bachelorette party-planning.

Last year's Bridesmaids followed Kristen Wiig as a single woman in her mid-30s whose life becomes unglued when her best friend reveals she is going to get married. The movie earned Wigg and co-writer Annie Mumolo an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay and was a huge boost for female-driven comedies. Sold — fairly or unfairly — as a female counterpoint to The Hangover, the success was guaranteed to inspire other movies.
Enter Bachelorette, which sees three longtime friends (Lizzy Caplan, Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher) see their lives turned upside down when they plan a bachelorette party for a girl they mocked in high school. Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson plays the bride-to-be, which adds another comparison, but is it fair to compare the two comedies simply because they feature female leads and weddings? ReelzChannel movie expert Richard Roeper sorts it out in his review above.

The 2011 comedy Bridesmaids proved that, not only can female actresses be as funny and gross as their male counterparts, but that audiences would eat it up and come back for more. Well, Bridesmaids 2 may never happen without Kristen Wiig, but the cast of Bachelorette — Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, Lizzy Caplan and Bridesmaids star Rebel Wilson — recently took to the red carpet for the premiere of their R-rated female-driven comedy and they claim that their movie is "even ruder, even raunchier" than Bridesmaids.
Another female-led movie premiered the same night as Bachelorette, but this one trades laughs for screams. Twilight star Ashley Greene headlines writer-director Todd Lincoln's new supernatural horror movie, The Apparition, which centers around a "horrifying apparition" that is actually conjured into existence by parapsychology students trying to prove that belief in the supernatural is enough for it to exist. Greene hasn't had any paranormal frights of her own (that she cared to share, anyway), but she did reveal to our own Jeremy Parsons the scariest experience of her life. Watch the video above to find out what it was.

Kirsten Dunst played love interest Mary Jane Watson in all three Spider-Man movies directed by Sam Raimi, though she won't appear in director Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man reboot. In an interview with MTV, the actress offered some advice for Emma Stone, who will play Gwen Stacy in the movie.
Get used to acting to nothing. [There is] a lot of that. Swinging, and acting to nothing.
While she won't be in any more Spider-Man movies, she told PopcornBiz that's she proud of the original trilogy.

Viggo Mortensen and Amy Adams are the latest additions to the cast of 2011's adaptation of On the Road. It looks like the highly anticipated movie adaptation is finally taking shape, after being in development hell for the last 30 years.
Mortensen — better known as Aragorn in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy — will play Old Bull Lee (the character based on William S. Burroughs), while Adams (Enchanted) will take on the role of his wife Jane. Also joining them is previously announced Twilight Saga star Kristen Stewart as Marylou, and Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man) as Camille.
On the Road's story — which has inspired generations of readers — is based around two friends and their experiences on several road trips across America. Walter Salles will direct the movie, which is based on Jack Kerouac's classic novel of the same name.
