Synopsis

Jimmie is seeing his single friends get married one by one. He isn't too worried until his girlfriend Anne catches the bouquet at his friend Marco's wedding. Suddenly, his wild mustang days are numbered. He finally decides to propose to her, but he sticks his foot in his mouth and botches the proposal. Being insulted by the defeatist proposal, Anne leaves town on an assignment. After she's gone, he finds out that his recently-deceased grandfather's will stipulates that he gets nothing of a multi-million dollar fortune unless he's married by 6:05pm on his 30th birthday: tomorrow! Not being able to find Anne, Jimmie begins backtracking through his past girlfriends to find a wife.

Critics' reviews

"So unremittingly vulgar and inept it makes 'The Best Man' and 'Runaway Bride' look like masterpieces by comparison."
"Too bad the movie concentrates on the male point of view because it kicks to life when Zellweger is on screen"
"A remarkably mirthless and inept romantic comedy."
"Probably the best that can be said about The Bachelor is that it gave a lot of work to female extras."
"O'Donnell and Zellweger are easy on the eyes, but we're asked to take it on faith that they have other qualities that would make a person care for them."
