The Bachelorette features protagonists that are mean-spirited, self-centered, and utterly unlikable, making it difficult for viewers to connect with or root for the characters. Similarly, Sleeping with Other People portrays characters that are emotionally dull and bland, devoid of any compelling emotional depth. These films seem to struggle with fundamental storytelling elements—particularly humor and emotional engagement—which raises questions about their suitability as preparatory works for managing large-scale, high-stakes productions like The Acolyte.
