J. K. Simmons is always a delight to watch and he delivers well as a depressed widower struggling to find his footing again in life after losing a wife of several decades. He and his son work hard to find their footing in a new town, and new situations. It is an examination of how much will plays a part in how a person processes grief from, and the ultimate mechanisms at play in that examination.
The acting on all levels is excellent, as is the direction, screenwriting, music, editing and overall delivery of this film.
Great little, quiet film.

This was a wonderful film, its not going too deep, nor too high, its just a wellacted goodb filmed and produced romantic drama. its a mix of death,grieving,teens,love,kiss and in the end lots of happines. the choice of cast are great,and does their parts very well. the topic have been used and disused in 1000's of films,so hitting the bullseye are hard. this one is in the center,a 10 from me
Emotional...
"The Bachelors" is a Comedy - Drama movie in which we watch a father with his son changing town, school and job after the death of his wife. They both have to adapt in their new lives and deal with this big loss in order to continue their lives.
I liked this movie because it had a simple but very interesting and emotional plot. The direction which was made by Kurt Voelker, it was good and he presented very well both the plot of the movie and his main characters, their feelings, their relationships with each other and also their plans and dreams. For one more time the interpretation of J. K. Simmons who played as Bill Palet was simply outstanding and I believe he did an excellent job. Some other interpretations that have to be mentioned were Josh Wiggins' who played as Wes Palet, Julie Delpy's who played as Carine and Odeya Rush's who played as Lacy Westman. Lastly, I have to say that "The Bachelors" is a nice movie that presents with a very interesting and clever way a sensitive subject, I highly recommend everyone to watch it.
