Lizzy Caplan Becomes a Leading Lady
With her sidesplitting performance in the over-the-top wedding comedy Bachelorette—plus a slew of other wildly different roles—the actress goes from droll sidekick to breakout star.
With her sly smile and dancing green eyes, Lizzy Caplan is alluring even when delivering a withering put-down. That's something
she does often, with a trademark deadpan: In roles ranging from the spurned friend in Mean Girls who tells Lindsay Lohan she smells "like a baby prostitute" to the hard-ass lawyer on New Girl who calls out Zooey Deschanel for her "Bluebirds help me dress in the morning" persona, Caplan has been upbraiding leading ladies for almost a decade. Now the 30-year-old Los Angeles native has become a leading lady herself, thanks to a smorgasbord of new projects. As a promiscuous, coked-out bridesmaid in this month's raunchy comedy Bachelorette, she describes her personal fellatio-ranking system—"Ten being I'm, you know, choking"—to a random dude on a plane, a bit that's destined to become legendary. "If people start saying things to me on the street from the blow-job monologue—yikes," Caplan says. "My poor dad." She also plays a basket case who accidentally makes a sex tape in the indie 3, 2, 1 . . . Frankie Go Boom, also out this month; a commitmentphobe torn between suitors in the December rom-com Save the Date; and a controversial sexologist in Showtime's historical drama Masters of Sex, premiering next year. "Lots of people only know my . . . biting characters," Caplan admits. "But I know I can do more than that. If you want to just do the same thing, don't be an actor."

And yet I watched the whole thing, because I never quit movies in the hope they will get better.
to show how awful and entitled these girls were, and how they think they were so fab and cool but were really losers
it's really realistic imo i know so many people who think like that
i didn't think of it like that... welp.
idgi why people don't understand that they were supposed to be assholes, so many criticisms have been "oh they were so mean" and it's like...well duh
idk. i thought it just got boring, i laughed twice i think.
