Girls Trip

I went into it with a good feeling about it. The trailer looked like the film was going to be real entertaining, but this was better than I expected.

It's funny that Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith are not more centered stage in this movie as I though they were bigger stars than that, but I forget Regina Hall has made quite a name for herself in the last few years. The film centers around her character, Ryan who gathers her crew who she has not scene for years to an event in New Orleans so that they can reconnect.

All the women were funny in this movie but special shout out to Tiffany Haddish who I've never herd of before this movie but will never forget. She gave it all to get the big laughs just like Melissa McCarthy did in Bridesmaids.

Nothing's more funnier than watching women get down and dirty about things that would not be considered proper etiquette. I want to see it all and I got that from Girls Trip. This had me laughing from beginning to end. It's hilarious. Plus it's a good movie about friends hanging with each other. You get the vibe from all the characters that they have been down for one another forever, and it gives you that good feeling.

A great movie.

I am not one to go to the theater to see a comedy. I prefer big budget Hollywood blockbusters, science fiction, etc. but I love all Jada, Queen, and Regina so I wanted to support (plus I got free tickets to an advanced screening, so why not LOL). Low and behold, I have never laughed so hard at a comedy movie in a very long time and I mean like laugh out loud, ugly noise funny.

While everyone has funny moments throughout the film, the real star of the show is Tiffany Haddish. She delivers the funniest one liners, punchlines, every-lines. She was definitely the highlight.

Now I will say that for most avid movie goers, the plot isn't too original. If you are a comedy lover then you have definitely seen a version of this movie before; four friends who have lost their mojo go on a fun filled weekend where everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Their friendship is tested and their lives are changed forever. Nothing too unique but the characters and the setting make it enjoyable to watch. I thought that the writers choosing such a prestigious event like Essence Festival as the backdrop of the storyline was genius and much needed. It's great that the world can see inside such a huge cultural event for the black community.

Of course, this movie will be donned (by some) as a "black movie" but it's nothing of the sort. Many themes and jokes are definitely inspired by a culture birthed from the black community but the film can be enjoyed by all races and adult ages. I was even surprised when I got the the advanced screening to see so many diverse faces and age groups. Plus the theater erupted in laughter the entire time.

I definitely recommend this film. You won't be disappointed. It's the funnies thing I have seen since Key and Peele's show!

I had been anticipating watching this movie since I first saw the trailer. I love this movie!! I saw it with my closest girl friends and we laughed out loud throughout the entire movie. I will definitely watch this again and again. The story was great and the characters were a lot of fun to watch. The cast was absolutely perfect and I don't think they could've done a better job casting this movie. I had no idea Tiffany Haddish was so funny! I appreciate a great FEEL GOOD story like this one and I love that the bond of the characters is one that inspires women to stick together and support one another. Well done!

This film begins with four women named "Ryan Pierce" (Regina Hall), "Sasha Franklin" (Queen Latifah), "Lisa Cooper" (Jada Pinkett Smith) and "Dina" (Tiffany Haddish) enjoying their youth so much that they formed a group known as the Flossy Posse and became almost inseparable. However, like so many things in life, time and events proceeded to take their toll and each of them eventually go their separate ways. But then one day Ryan decides to invite the other three to accompany her on what is essentially a business trip to New Orleans and in no time the Flossy Posse hits Bourbon Street with the single intent on riding high once more. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had an interesting plot along with several humorous scenes thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, there were also a few completely unnecessary scenes of a rather crude and vulgar nature thrown in which not only diminished the film as a whole but almost ruined what could have been a very good comedy. At least, that is my opinion. That being said, I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

So glad I did not waste my money going to the theater to see this. Most of the cast I like, but most of the movie was just over the top stupid. I really hope that save their money and not make a Part 2.
