The latest film in the women-gone-wild trend features 4 college friends (Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tiffany Haddish) who travel to New Orleans for a weekend full of raunchy fun. There's lots of crude language and coarseThe latest film in the women-gone-wild trend features 4 college friends (Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tiffany Haddish) who travel to New Orleans for a weekend full of raunchy fun. There's lots of crude language and coarse insults with Haddish riotously leading the charge. As expected, they push the limits of outrageousness with exposed body parts and bodily functions. Meanwhile, the inevitable emotional moments (which drag down the final 30 minutes) revolve around female empowerment, friendship and loyalty. While there's nothing especially original here, director Malcolm D. Lee is skilled at the high-energy pace and raucous attitude that appeals to his audiences.… Expand

Material that does not impose breast baring, ass twerking and dick-sucking images on the female characters. In the deepest recesses of the movie making industry's mind, the black female is often typecast as an oversexed 'ho' prowling the streets for men or an insanely irrational, angry and combative female. this movie perpetuates both stereotypes.
sure, I'm black, female and glad that the movie stars four black women in their own comedy genre based on the raunchy night or week-end out-just like white men or women.Great. But the next step/challenge is to create believable black female characters who move and connect with the audience without needing to commit vulgar acts on fruit. After more than two hours of this crude movie, i wished to delete my 'recent history' but there was no delete button in my brain.… Expand

I am halfway through and won't force myself to watch the rest of it. I honestly don't understand the high Metascore; this isn't somehow subverting "frat boys gone wild" movies -- it IS a frat boy movie, only with black women. 1 point for a bit of dramatic flair, no points for humour, which ranged all the way from dim to gross. Disappointing, considering the collective talent in the cast.… Expand

This group of talented actors gamely go through the motions of trying to give their characters some heart, but all the while they are wallowing in a ridiculous pool of muck. "Gross out comedy" can be done well, but here it is not so. As a white viewer, I have to admit that I don't know how four black women interact amongst themselves, but I am quite certain there are not four women of any color who would ever come close to this level of constant and purely gross, demeaning stupidity. F-bombs? Sure, we got truckloads. Wet, noisy oral sex simulated with fruit at a breakfast table? Check. Worshipping big dicks? Yep. Talking about asses and what comes in or out of them? Incessantly. A woman hanging on a wire above a crowd of people and accidentally urinating on them? Sadly, yes. And that was so fun, we also get a SECOND woman hanging on a wire above a crowd of people urinating on them, this time intentionally. It seemed the only thing missing was for these characters to literally throw poo at each other. I seriously suspect they have saved that scene for the director's cut.… Expand

Tired and cliche ridden this sad effort breaks no new ground in the 'good girl/bad girl' gone wild genre. It has a better cast than it deserves and the New Orleans setting is NOT but to the good use that it should be.

I really wanted to like this movie, with all the noise it generated and good reviews, but I actually found it not funny, the situations are exaggerated, they don't feel natural like in for example Bridesmaids.

An abominable, deplorable, brain-dead, slapstick disgrace. If your IQ is in the 80's or lower, you're gonna love it. 90 upwards and you're likely to commit suicide by the time you even finished watching the trailer.

WOULD VOTE NEGATIVE 10 IF WE COULD. Yet another horrible ridiculously bad vulgar girls gone bad movie depicting all of us woman as brain dead desperate vulgar whores not to mention a totally gratuitous depiction of the homeless as diturbed, mindless sexual deviates, for absolutely no reason. Terrible rehashed script peppered with the N word and other vulgarities and constant dick references as if it were written by a 10 year old boy FOR another 10 year old boy. My friend's and I (all woman, 4 white, 3 African American from 22-32 years old) demanded a refund after this fiasco and management actually happily provided one for all of us saying it wasn't the first time. HORRIBLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY… Expand

Im annoyed that this is the movie I chose to go see. I feel like my IQ was just lowered. I loved the cast and the overall story, but the humor was stupid, raunchy, gross bathroom humor that I personally don't care for. Maybe when I was 18.

After 30 minutes, watching that women can be as stupid, crass and vulgar as men, I was ready to walk BUT I am so glad I didn’t!
There is one of the funniest scenes I have seen in a comedy in decades and without giving too much away it involves Tiffany Haddish (as Dina,) half a grapefruit with the end cut off and a hole in the middle plus a banana! Yes it is crude, sort of adds to a stereotype about Black men but Haddish will be remembered for years just as the scene in “There’s Something About Mary” with Cameron Diaz and ‘hair gel’.
On the other hand there is a urination scene that puts any men have done on film to shame and debases the women and then repeat it even though it is so fake.
The main thing going for “Girls Trip” is the feeling you get that the 4 leads; Haddish, Regina Hall (Ryan), Queen Latifah (Sasha) and Jada Pinkett Smith (Lisa) have truly been friends since high school and all have problems to be dealt with which they eventually do. Regarding the latter there is a touching scene that eventually got the Black women in the audience to cheer, shout at the screen and laugh.
For each woman there is a man with the pairing of Lisa and Malik (Kofi Siriboe) with the latter, unknowingly, responsible for the grapefruit scene and demonstrating it, against his will, in a later scene while very successful Ryan is married to very successful hunky looking guy, Stewart, (Mike Colter) though Sasha’s ‘man’ happens to be a lamp---sorry, you will have to see it—while Dina will go after any male who is breathing! Julian (Larenz Tate) is a guy who has been friends with the women since childhood and, obviously, is in love with Ryan.
While there are many cameos including Common, Sean Combs, Mike Epps among them, both Deborah Ayorinde as the fierce ‘other woman’ and Kate Walsh, as a stereotyped White woman, stand out.
Yes the ladies get drunk, take a ‘trip’ on 200-year-old absinthe, do and say absurd, ‘dirty’ things, have a dance-off concentrating on the booties and breasts but you just know the actresses are having fun showing actors how to do it!
I must add having a large group of Black women in the audience added to enjoying the movie though I must add I observed a Black man with his wife(?) was not enjoying himself one bit!
I would say you could miss the first 30 minutes of this 2 hour and 2 minute movie but I don’t remember at what point the grapefruit scene takes place and you shouldn’t miss that scene as crude and gross as it may be.
“Girls Trip” is a movie to relax, laugh, enjoy and watch how women can be there for each other unlike men.… Expand

The best studio comedy since Bridesmaids with just as much heart and just as many laughs. Tiffany Haddish scores huge and nearly runs away with the movie a la Melissa McCarthy, but the talented actresses all have their times to shine.

Just feels more natural R Rated than Girls' Night out. Could have been even better but the long runtime and the unnecessary romantic/drama elements held it back

Although there are some laughs and originality involved, overall Girls Trip is loud, overstuffed and not as enjoyable as critics make it out to be.
