So I'm actually getting pretty hyped for this now and it comes out next week

It seems more Bridesmaids than Rough Night in terms of female comedies (this actually has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes currently!!) and I think the trailer looks fab too - I laughed at the 'lady mouth' joke

Yeah hyped up to be this years Bridesmaids

The trailer doesn't look like anything special but then trailers sometimes don't give anyway too much. I think it'll be better than Rough Night.

I'm here for anything and EVERYTHING Queen Latifah, and with added Regina Hall (wholiterally ages backwards) this gets better.

Looks really good, my kind of romp.

I absolutely adored this, probably the funniest comedy I've seen since Spy - I really do recommend going to watch it if you're on the fence. The laughs don't stop coming throughout the whole film but Tiffany Haddish is easily the highlight of the cast, her line delivery is so perfect and I was belly laughing at most of the stuff that came out of her mouth. I was actually tearing up due to laughing so much in her grapefruit scene I really hope this is a Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids type break-out role for her because I can't wait to see what she does next after this film. Saying that, the whole cast do a great job and all get their fair share of hilarious gags include the hallucination tripping scene which had so many great moments. I'm not familiar with any Regina Hall films either but I thought she was brilliant in this too, very personable and likeable as the lead of the film and I was very invested in her storyline.

I can see why some reviews say this is a bit long but I still enjoyed the last act lots too, the jokes come less often then but they had to wrap up the story anyway and I had grown to love the characters so much after just the first hour so I was so interested in seeing how it all worked out for them so I really enjoyed it. I was starting to tear up a bit too at Ryan's speech towards the end

Please go watch this if you're on the fence, it was so funny and the characters were so lovely - one of my favourite films of the year I think

I agree with Josh, definitely go and see it even if you're on the fence about it.

I went in not knowing much about it and I was literally crying with laughter, it's flat out hilarious and will be one that I watch over and over for sure.
It has everything you need from this kind of movie and even at 2 hours, it didn't feel overly long and I certainly wasn't willing it to be over.

Really hoping it gets the amount of love that Bridesmaids did because it's thoroughly deserved.. all 4 female leads are fantastic in their roles & Tiffany Haddish steals every scene.

omg yes i forgot to reply to this. absolutely THE biggest surprise movie in ages!

it's a great movie that does women, black women and female comedy REALLY proud, and is absolutely hilarious. it also does what i love when it's done right - sucking the juice out of a joke but never losing the laugh - it had the cinema ERUPTING. see it see it SEE IT

Don't get me wrong, I did really enjoy this, but not to the level of the others in here It's not even my favourite comedy of the year and isn't close to touching Bridesmaids.

That full frontal scene was the biggest laugh and the grapefruit scenes weren't far behind, anything with Tiffany Haddish or Jada was great, I wasn't as fussed about Queen Latifah. And it was strange seeing Kate Walsh so upbeat and happy after 13RW

I'm too poor to see this it sounds like everything i want in a movie.

Oh this was soooooo good, loved it from start to finish and I was quite surprised that there was a lot of people in the screening considering it been on a few weeks now and was in the smallest screen.

Tiffany Haddish is everything, she stole it for me, great lines and delivery and knew how to work what she was given, the zip line had the cinema howling as did the grapefruit, it so good to see a comedy with people actually laughing out loud in the screening, the last few comedies I seen people seem to stifle their laughs
