Featured reviews
Oh what the heck, I'm just gonna repeat my tittle: WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP
Love Taraji and some of the other actors in this movie and wanted to like it. But I walk away thinking this movie is on the bad side of mediocre. Like something you would watch in the middle of the night and you had nothing but basic cable to watch.
The scrip comes off as awkward frequently throughout the movie. Several bizzare lines/scenes that just make you say "wtf" out loud. I wonder what sort of stuff was left on the cutting room floor if this is the stuff that made the movie.
There really isn't much here to draw you in. Most of the humor is jammed in just for the sake of having it.
I can appreciate doing something different with the source material, but this is basically the same exact movie with more sophomoric humor than the original. Any charm that the original had was lost with this script.

I thought this was a fun watch. The movie speaks toward what is like to be a woman in the workplace trying to get ahead with the good Ol' boys' club. Probably the same ol' good ol' boys giving this movie bad reviews.
I see a lot of bomb reviews, and I get this is no Oscar
Winner. But I laughed hysterically many times. It was precisely what I expected. There were plenty of funny moments, lessons learned and a little romance. Give it a chance. You may like it.
Maybe I liked it because of how low my expectations were. I am someone who is seriously sick and tired of remakes, but this was surprisingly entertaining. The characters were likable and the story line was its own
