Girls Trip

"Girls Trip" is another "women can be raunchy too" comedy, one that from the trailer didn't look funny at all, but hey…at least they don't kill a stripper in this one (Rough Night).

Here, best friends who have only grown further apart since High School are hoping to reconnect at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.

They're all basically types. Regina Hall has the most to work with as the one who only thinks she has it all together. The rest are the crazy one (Tiffany Haddish), obsessive one (Jada Pinkett), and gossipy one (Queen Latifah).

Through it all the girls will be brought on stage to dance with Puffy, have a dance-off with another set of girls, get into many fist fights and all kinds of other trouble.

It will also go for the most R-rated and nasty of crude jokes.

People I saw this movie with laughed through out at all of it and for their part, all four of these women embarrass themselves and get down and dirty very well.

Particularly this Tiffany Haddish, who will either annoy you or be your favorite part. She goes to some darkly funny places here the characters in Suicide Squad could only dream of.

But for all this talk of women in comedy, doing the same dick jokes men have been doing for so long really shouldn't be the apex. This is really just conquering a mole hill.

And please no more comedies that go over 2 hours long, particularly one like this where the plot suddenly has to kick in in the last half hour and it's just as generic as every other comedy about friendship.

On the one hand this is all really flimsy stuff which I got kinda tired of after 90 minutes, but it's also fun, tries hard for laughs, is very well cast and Hall has some good scenes in the last half.

I'd give it 6 out of 10 but I think if you can get past the clichés and you like toilet humor for a more than necessary period of time, you'll enjoy it a bit more.

This movie is absolutely funny from start to finish. The Black actresses are cute and multi-talented.

The film's plot follows the story of four lifelong friends on a long- overdue weekend getaway trip to New Orleans for the annual Essence Music Festival. Their sisterhood is rekindled and wild sides are rediscovered, with nights of partying, hook-ups and bad decisions, as well as raw and vulnerable moments that strengthen their bond.

Recommended for audience whose age is 17+ NC17.

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.

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!

Pleasantly surprised I enjoyed this and got bonus points for seeing with My Lady. Probably won't get full recognition it deserves but this movie definitely was worth seeing (even for this guy).

Very funny, great script, exceptional chemistry among all the stars. Often this doesn't come thru but all actors (male & female)represented very well. Great interface with New Orleans festival and makes you wonder were the scenes actually performed there or injected, lol.

Tiffany Haddish (Dina) stole the show and hopefully gets proper recognition.

Only warning is content definitely "R" rated so don't accept urge to bring younger audiences. Definitely adult content and adult humor.
