The Bachelor is humorous and entertaining, at first. Unfortunately, the jokes become clich, and the plot becomes a bit unbelievable.

The accumulation of minor lapses, inconsistencies and unimaginative thinking eventually creates evidence of a major creative deficiency.

Thats a pretty lame premise for a movie: retrograde sexism in the service of dumb laughs.
San Francisco Chronicle

Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture.

But that still doesnt explain why hes in Gary Sinyors The Bachelor, a movie so clichd and mortally unfunny that it seems nobody should have to do it.

While ODonnells anxious groom to be is likable enough, his lack of comic timing does little to improve Steve Cohens unimaginative script.

A throwback in mentality to another era, without any of the charm or intelligence of the actual screwball comedies of the time.
