This is just an overall good time and definitely worth a watch. B+… Expand

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

A delight beginning to end. The best studio comedy since Bridesmaids with just as much heart and just as many laughs.

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. A seriously good time with just enough true feeling to make it not all feel too slapstick. It's a case of the perfect cast coming together for maximum enjoyability.… Expand

Overlong but worth it for Tiffany Haddish and the women's hysterical absinthe-laced night out.

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

I don't know why I hesitated to watch this movie.. I love the (vulgar) humor in it, I really do laughed my butt off!

I love the (vulgar) humor in it, I really do laughed my butt off! At the beginning of the movie it started a little slow for me, but if you can get through that it will be an amazing movie for a fun evening. Also with a message in it. This is my kind of humor and they did a very good job on it I very much enjoyed it! 10/10 I can guess it's not for everyone enjoyable, but I liked it.… Expand

I love comedies. I really do, but they hardly ever live up to my expectations. A decent comedy for me is one that makes me snort or "blow air" threw my nose. I don't find my self laughing out loud a ton while watching comedies. So when I doI love comedies. I really do, but they hardly ever live up to my expectations. A decent comedy for me is one that makes me snort or "blow air" threw my nose. I don't find my self laughing out loud a ton while watching comedies. So when I do find myself laughing out loud, and laughing out loud often...I know I'm watching an excellent comedy. And that's what Girls Trip was. This may be a female led film that is primarily aimed towards females, but it was just damn funny. The jokes are over-the-top and they don't hold back. They get pretty dirty, and that is what I loved the most about this film. It was simply a pleasure to watch this with a couple of friends and laugh together. Even if you're a dude, I'd give this one a watch. You'll laugh way more than you think you will.… Expand

The story itself is nothing special; but is a refreshing take on the "boys out on the town going wild"-genre that we have seen so often.

There are a few vulgar moments that could have been excluded, and I didn't really understand the festival they all gathered for, but I watched to the end, and that is something I can't say I do with every movie I see.… Expand
