1/4	Michael Dequina	O'Donnell, former teen idol/Boy Wonder, has always proven to be far less beefcake than rice cake. Full Review \| Comment \| Nov., 29 2009 03:27 PM	TheMovieReport.com

	James Sanford	when it comes to delivering punchlines or finding the laughs in a speech, O'Donnell is way out of his area of expertise, and that's exactly what he's called upon to do throughout 'The Bachelor,' a wholly irritating stab at a fluffy romantic farce.

	Betsy Sherman	Probably the best that can be said about The Bachelor is that it gave a lot of work to female extras. Comment \| Jan., 01 2000 12:00 AM	Boston Globe
