One thousand brides. One hundred million dollars. Jimmie Shannon is about to discover the true value of love. When he least expects it, Jimmie Shannon (Chris O'Donnell) falls in love with Anne (Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger). After a three-year relationship, Jimmie reluctantly proposes marriage to Anne, but sensing his uncertainty, Anne rejects Jimmie. Then Jimmie's grandfather dies and leaves him $100 million--on the condition that Jimmie marry before he turns 30. The problem is, Jimmie's thirtieth birthday is now 24 hours away, and he must find a bride or lose a fortune.

Critics Consensus: Clichéd, witless and irritating, The Bachelor proves Chris O'Donnell is no Buster Keaton.

The premise for "The Bachelor" probably looked great on paper. Get Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger to star in a romantic comedy, throw in a $100 million inheritance plotline and let mayhem ensue!

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

"The Bachelor" is as generic as they come, the kind of commercial fabrication that sets up a pair of hackneyed concepts, then runs them in concentric circles until there's enough footage to cut together a movie.

O'Donnell's square jaw and clear complexion get plenty of screen time, but not for a second is he believable as a guy with a playboy past.

This '90s remake of Buster Keaton's 1925 Seven Chances will have the legendary slapstick-stuntmaster somersaulting in his grave
