Kara, I just remembered, I met the perfect man for you He's 30, you're 30, it's perfect! The only problem is that he's Catholic and Republican, but that's nothing that can't be changed. CALL ME!

Kara's mother is obsessed with getting her daughter married. Kara, a single artist and filmmaker in San Francisco, has her doubts. Through the microcosm of her often hilarious interactions with her mom, Kara Herold's Bachelorette, 34 examines the pressure society puts on women to find "Mr. Right."

Hey, Wow! Forget five stars, this film deserves 34 stars. <strong>Bachelorette, 34</strong> is an exquisite, gem-quality example of documentation at its best. Part personal, part universal truth serum. And always humouresque: part Harold Lloyd, part Joan Rivers morphed with Woody Allen on a good day. But definitely, all parts Kara Herold, a director with a voicevision to look out for.

Gay? Married? Even being Republican is a small matter when a mom sets out to find Mr. Right for her daughter. Told with wit, and a basketful of zany clips, Kara Herold&#39;s own story affirms a lifestyle choice where meeting in the chapel is definitely on the back burner.
Bill Nichols, author of Introduction to Documentary and other books

More a work of art than a straight-up documentary, the film explores the relationship between Herold and her mother, and the anxiety the differences in their lifestyles creates.
