Jimmie Shannon (Chris O’Donnell) sees
himself as a wild mustang—a strong and powerful animal that enjoys its life of freedom on
the open range. But then he meets Anne (Renée Zellweger). Anne is the perfect woman for
Jimmie. She’s beautiful and funny, and their relationship is totally laid-back. No
pressure at all. But gradually, as Jimmie’s friends begin to leave their wild-mustang
lives behind, Jimmie realizes that he and Anne are getting to “that point” in their
relationship. And when Anne catches the bouquet at yet another friend’s wedding, Jimmie
knows it’s time. But when he attempts to propose at the most romantic spot in town, he
screws it up (first by proposing with the words “You win,” and then by telling Anne that
he figured they were at that “shit or get off the pot” point in their relationship), and
Anne storms out.
Jimmie is crushed (and embarrassed) when Anne turns him
down. But matters get even worse when his grandfather dies and leaves him $100
million—with a catch. Jimmie has to get married before 6:05 (the exact time he was born)
on his thirtieth birthday, or he loses the money—and his birthday just happens to be
tomorrow. So Jimmie has to either win back the woman of his dreams or find someone else
who’s willing to marry him for $100 million.
The Bachelor is a
great movie for girls with commitment-phobic boyfriends. It’s sweet, and it’s
funny—you’ll laugh, and you’ll cry. Chris O’Donnell is cute in a frustrating-boy kind of
way, and Renée Zellweger is as adorable as always. Despite a few rather corny scenes
with millions of angry hopeful brides, The Bachelor is a fun flick—just the thing
for a night in with the girls.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
