Rough Night focuses more on the comedy than on the story. It isn't safe to say that story is more important than comedy, but in a genre that is in the comedy section, a story is arguably needed.

It isn't safe to say that story is more important than comedy, but in a genre that is in the comedy section, a story is arguably needed. Basic instructions of a movie is to make a story that at least feels like a great ride on a roller coaster. In this case, they failed to give much to the story by giving the comedy more than expected. Great on paper, terrible on screen.… Expand

The hilarity isThis is the female cross between "Weekend at Bernie's" and "The Hangover." Five friends (Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz) travel to Miami for a wild bachelorette weekend. The hilarity is supposed to get complicated when they accidentally kill a stripper, but that's not the case. Despite the non-stop spunky energy and potentially comic situations, there's not much genuinely funny. McKinnon turns in an enjoyably wacky performance, while Bell is like Melissa McCarthy…a little of her bluster goes a long way…and there's LOTS of it here. The whole night is amusing to watch, but more jokes die than land. NOTE: McKinnon has an amusing song DURING the credits and Bell drops a plot surprise AFTER the credits.… Expand

The cast is attractive and dedicated, but only Johansson and Kravitz are consistent. Bell, Glazer and especially McKinnon (sporting a very annoying Australian accent) are very hit and miss, all too often ending a joke too soon or dragging itThe cast is attractive and dedicated, but only Johansson and Kravitz are consistent. Bell, Glazer and especially McKinnon (sporting a very annoying Australian accent) are very hit and miss, all too often ending a joke too soon or dragging it on for too long. The whole film feels like the rough draft of a great black comedy, but it ends up just being a bunch of missed opportunities.… Expand

Let me be perfectly clear. This is a terrible movie that has a couple of laughs. Some of it is so stupid, I had to laugh at how stupid it was. Everything is way over the top. The performances aren't bad, but the dialogue is middle schoolLet me be perfectly clear. This is a terrible movie that has a couple of laughs. Some of it is so stupid, I had to laugh at how stupid it was. Everything is way over the top. The performances aren't bad, but the dialogue is middle school and the plot is ridiculous. I asked the ladies I was with what they would give this movie on a scale of 1 - 5. Four of them gave it a 1. I gave it a 2 and one other gave it a 3. Usually when critics hate a movie, users like it. But, this one seems to be universally disliked. Be advised. Wait to see it when it comes to Netflix or DVD.… Expand

Bachelorette gone wrong!

This kind of girls night out flicks are not fun anymore. Yet it is hard to ignore them from watching. So I watched it not expecting anything special out of it. And I did not get any. But... it was okayish. Moreover,Bachelorette gone wrong!

This kind of girls night out flicks are not fun anymore. Yet it is hard to ignore them from watching. So I watched it not expecting anything special out of it. And I did not get any. But... it was okayish. Moreover, Scarlett Johansson was the main reason I wanted to watch it. You can't always do superhero, action films. This is something offbeat. Often need to take this path, no to fail miserably, but to relax from the mainstream. So this was enjoyable, but not by all.

It is like the female version of 'Hangover'. Five friends go to Miami for one of theirs bachelorette party. It's supposed to be fun without any rules, but a disaster strikes in the early and makes them to cover all the evidence. The night turns their worst nightmare ever. How they manage to come out of it are the remaining film that revealed with a twist at the end.

The reception was as expected, but it was not that bad if you are seeking only a timepass. It ended like there could be a sequel, but now it seems very unlikely. One of the issues with the film is it was so traditional narrative. With so many jokes repeated from other flicks. The majority won't approve that. As far as I think it is watch and forget kind of film. An average film. Disliking it does not change what it is!

6/10… Expand
