Which Bachelorette Movie Should You Watch First?
If you want pure wedding chaos, start with Bridesmaids, Bride Wars, Rough Night or Bachelorette. For something glamorous and romantic, choose Sex and the City, Crazy Rich Asians or Anyone But You. And if your group simply wants to laugh, drink and watch women get into trouble together, Girls Trip, Joy Ride, Ibiza and Desperados should be near the top of your queue.
The best part is that the best bachelorette movies do not all need to involve brides or weddings. Sometimes all you need is great female friendship, terrible dating decisions, a beautiful vacation, a little romance and enough chaos to keep everyone entertained. Pick a few favourites, pour the drinks and turn your bachelorette night into a movie marathon.
