Critic Reviews for Girls Trip

Audience reviews for girls trip.

Girls trip though extremely vulgar was actually quite funny with well developed characters. It was nice to see all black females tale the helm of a good film, good direction was also a part of its success. I have not laughed as hard and as much in a while as I did during this film, it is worth watching over again.

This movie was funny for roughy 30 minutes. Dialogue - ok Acting - suprisingly lazy and poor Actors - good , but underperformed Directing/editing - lazy af Advice - if you like good movies. This is not it. Garbage hype. Save your money.

There's such a natural charm to Girls Trip. The film highlights a culturally enticing setting while also displaying effortless charisma and performances from the four leading ladies. It's funny, raunchy, entertaining and wholeheartedly joyous from start to finish. 4.4/5

I didn't like Girls Trip. No great shock there, it's an American Comedy in much the same vein as a great number of American Comedies that have come before it I didn't like. A lot of other people did like it. That's fine. Different strokes for different folks. All that jazz. I totally understand it. What I don't understand is the vast number of people who have said "This one's different. This movie is gonna appeal to the people who don't normally go in for this sort of thing. It breaks all the conventions and even Independent film & Oscar film fans will love it". Like... No... When you follow up your piss-joke with the exact same piss-joke just seconds later... It's like... This is exactly the same as every other movie I hate.

Review: In ‘Girls Trip,’ Women Giddily Under the Influence

Share full article

By Manohla Dargis

July 19, 2017

Girls gone wild, ladies on the loose, chicks out for kicks — the spectacle of women behaving badly is having its moment (again). In the 1930s, runaway brides ran amok with banter and high jinks; in the 1940s, femmes fatales did their men wrong with lipstick sneers and a bullet to the heart. The latest iteration of this type of movie often skews comic and generally involves a group of gal pals getting together for some “we time.” They find trouble and, here’s hoping, their bliss amid oceans of booze and maybe drugs, sometimes in the company of men, who are alternately helpful or hapless.

The affably amusing, sometimes spittingly funny comedy “Girls Trip” recycles much of the same naughty women idea used and occasionally abused in movies like “Bad Moms” and “Sisters.” As in the recent “Rough Night,” the women in “Girls Trip” are old college friends who, after going down their respective paths, are reuniting for better and, at times, for worse. In “Rough Night,” the regulation naughtiness ends up with the women, who are mostly white, accidentally (uh-oh) killing a man. That isn’t on the menu for the black women in “Girls Trip,” who, despite being fictional also exist in our world and so presumably would have a much harder time giggling their way out of spilling blood.

That makes “Girls Trip” seem tamer than a movie like “Rough Night.” But “Girls Trip” is also funnier; it’s also more appealing because it knows that there’s more at stake existentially for women, and especially for black women, than out-grossing men. The friends in “Girls Trip” have other issues to work on, all of which are grounded in ordinary life: how to live in the world with love and joy, how to nurture intimate relationships so they don’t slip away, how to balance professional and personal obligations without going nuts, how to perform fairly tricky sexual acts without embarrassing you or your partner right out of bed — you know, the usual.

An invitation brings the friends and story in “Girls Trip” together. It’s sent by Ryan (Regina Hall), an entrepreneurial self-help guru who is rapidly heading toward Oprah-level celebrity. With a megawatt smile, an affirmation for every occasion and a beautiful husband by her side (a thankless role, capably handled by Mike Colter), Ryan seems to have it all. She’s turned her life into a brand by selling other women on the idea that they can have it all, too, but now she’s not so sure. After being tapped to speak at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, she invites three friends along for a weekend of sharing, caring and boozing, topped with guest turns from the likes of Common and Sean Combs.

Enjoyment turns out to be contagious in “Girls Trip,” which consistently manages to rework and even reinvigorate some severely worn-out conceits, setups and character types, mostly by complicating gender roles with class issues. The struggler is Sasha (Queen Latifah), a former serious journalist turned flailing gossip blogger; the wallflower, Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), is a nurse and single mom; the cutup, Dina (Tiffany Haddish), well, it’s unclear what she does. She works, kind of, in an office or did — even her boss seems baffled about her status — but mostly Dina is the crazy snake in the can, the whoopee in the cushion and the movie’s biggest, rowdiest laugh generator.

The director Malcolm D. Lee (“The Best Man”) helps turn these types into characters efficiently and sympathetically — he knows how to light and frame a beautiful face — though every so often you sense he would like to cut loose visually. Mostly, he serves Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver ’s script, which goes high, low and sincere as it mixes some slapstick in with the sober bits, giddily indulges its freewheeling silliness and drops heart-to-hearts ranging from a sharply comic lesson on white privilege to a hilarious riff on the joys of grapefruit sex. (Ms. Oliver and Mr. Barris, who created the sitcom “black-ish,” also wrote “ Barbershop: The Next Cut ,” which Mr. Lee directed.)

Like most movies of this comic ilk, including the male-centric “Hangover” types, “Girls Trip” is effectively a narrative striptease. Characters — mostly ordinary, straight, middle-class types — take some of it off, the “it” being the cultural and social norms that define and often restrict them: the veneer of respectability, the accommodating smiles, the regulation control. At times this involves female characters testing, gingerly if fleetingly, the limits of that construct called femininity. “Girls Trip” adds complexity to the picture by bringing in class, even as it dispatches with whiteness, showing it the door so that these women can find themselves while rediscovering the power and pleasures of sisterhood.

Girls Trip Rated R for boozing, drugging, male nudity and unusual sex aids. Running time: 2 hours 2 minutes.

An unhappy couple, actress Lisa ( Noomi Rapace ) and her director husband Lars (Aksel Hennie), go to their cabin in the woods with a view to kill each other. However, once there, events spiral out of their control.

A Norwegian Netflix movie that premiered in November 2021.

Major spoilers follow . As the film depends heavily on twists and reveals for its impact, spoilers are unavoidable . If you want to keep your surprise, watch the film first, then come back here. You Have Been Warned .

Awful Wedded Life : Lisa and Lars were planning to kill each other and can't stop arguing even when they're in mortal danger.
Bad Actor, Good Liar : Lars calls Lisa a terrible actress and she apparently failed to get away even from a traffic ticket due to her lies being unconvincing. She still manages to play the trio of criminals to do all her whims before they realise what's going on .
Big Damn Heroes : Lars father escapes his care home to see what's up in the cabin. Once there, he effortlessly takes the situation under control and subdues remaining convicts . While it doesn't last, the commotion and his initial success is more than enough to sway the hopeless situation.
Black Comedy : A couple decides to solve their marital issues by murdering each other. Hilarity Ensues .
Blood Knight : Lars' father is actually glad he goes out in the blaze of glory .
Creator Couple : In-universe and somewhat downplayed - while they don't work together, Lars is a director and Lisa is an actress.
Cruel and Unusual Death : Petter ends up with his arm minced by a propeller screw, then a bag of stones is put on his neck and drags him overboard and to the bottom of the fjord .
Dead Sparks : The marriage between Lars and Lisa is going so bad, they are both planning to just murder the other during the weekend trip and collect the insurance.
Depraved Homosexual : Dave is implied to be serving time for rape, while in the same time happens to be a homosexual. He's this close from raping Lars over a pool table and takes great pleasure, even laughing, just from the fact how scared and broken Lars ended up being due to it .
Dumb Blonde : Roy is an idiot, to put it mildly. Meanwhile Lisa exploits the perception against the gang in the cabin .
Dumb Muscle : Both Victor, a caretaker Lars hired as an accomplice, and especially Roy, the neo-nazi escaped prisoner, are dummies that are mostly useful due to their strength. While it's implied Victor has some disorder, Roy is a straight-out moron .
Everybody Loves Blondes : Lisa dyed her hair blonde in an effort to get more roles.
Lisa's friend wishes Lars good hunting, confusing him. As part as her alibi, Lisa described their weekend trip as going hunting .
The cabin's alarm doesn't work. Roy smashed it with a rock a day prior .
Lars steps on cornflakes in the kitchen, clearly confused about the mess. Roy made it when raiding the kitchen .
Lars can't find his favourite sweater, the one he always wears when working in the cabin. That's because Dave is wearing it instead of his prison uniform .
Lars is squeamish about touching raw meat. He hired Victor to "carve up" Lisa after she's dead and make disposing of the body easier .
Gag Penis : He's not called "Horse-Cock" Dave without a reason.
Both Lars and Lisa want to collect the others insurance after the murder. In case of Lars, he has to also pay off Victor , which quickly escalates into an additional conflict.
Lisa managed to negotiate hers and Lars' safety by offering the three convicts money she has supposedly stashed in her bank account .
Hunting "Accident" : Lisa's plan for the weekend.
Informed Ability : Inverted. We are told repetitively that Lisa is a two-bit actress and one bad enough she can't even talk her way out of a speeding ticket. She still managed to play the trio of criminals like fiddles, without any of them ever knowing better .
Karma Houdini : Victor's death is being put on the tab of the escaped convicts, leaving Lars free of any charges .
Knee Capping : Lars' father knee-caps Dave with a shotgun, despite Dave using Lisa as a hostage. When Dave finally drags his way inside and bandages his completely busted knee, Lars shows up and stomps on the knee, breaking it inwards .
Let No Crisis Go to Waste : In the end, Lars and Lisa realise they can still pay their debts and get away with killing Victor. They heavily sensationalise their case, make bunch of appearances in talk shows, write a book and keep the topic hot for long enough to get a movie adaptation out of their mis-adventures, directed by Lars and with Lisa playing herself .
Made of Iron : Roy takes just absurd level of abuse before being finally killed, while almost constantly having upper hand on due of Lars and Lisa .
Mood Whiplash : It's for the most part silly Black Comedy ... and then there is Lisa being threatened with rape and Lars almost taken by force , which instantly kills any semblance of comedy.
Nice Mean And In Between : Dave, Petter and Roy. Keep in mind that Dave is a rapist homosexual and Roy a dumb neo-nazi and yet they both combined aren't anywhere near as evil or hurtful as Petter .
Retired Badass : Lars father is currently living in a care home, but used to be a soldier and then part of Norwegian resistance during WW2. Now he's a resentful old man that wishes he died back then, in the glory of combat, rather than needing a pair of crutches to even walk.
Running Gag : A card saying "X days prior" when showing some crucial event or past development. It eventually deals with fractions, too.
The Sociopath : Petter has infamous criminal reputation as someone that even killed his partners from a heist. When prodded about it, he explains that all men have their value and once that value is reduced to zero, there is no point keeping them around. Within the frame of story, he abandons the knee-capped Dave, for he has "no value now". If all of this wasn't enough, he's a brutal killer that sees nothing wrong with getting rid of people standing on his way .
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome : The "death by lawn mower". While Lars' father ends up badly injured, it didn't actually kill him and the engine quickly stopped on his clothes. It's the impaling knife wound he received prior that makes him bleed out and die .
Take That Us / Ascended Meme : In the end, when Lars is directing a film adaptation of their exploits, his part is played by a black actor . It's a joke on the "Netflix adaptation" meme, where color-blind casting is a norm - and this movie was made by Netflix.
Tap on the Head : All the time. Lars gets electrocuted with a taser, Lisa gets knocked out by a gun not once but twice, and they both get knocked out cold by the falling roof.
Til Murder Do Us Part : A mutual version. Lars and Lisa are both planning to kill each other to get money and end their marriage.
Toilet Humor : Roy gets diarrhea after eating wild berries and ends up taking a dump in the attic, much to displeasure of Petter and Dave. Then the shit falls on Peter's face in the finale, making him even more pissed .

Buckle Up and Check Out the Cast of Road Trip Then and Now

It's been 20 years since four college kids piled into the car and embarked on a tour of debauchery for a ridiculous cause in todd phillips' feature directorial debut.

How do we top Jason Biggs doing it with a pie...?

Such was surely the question on countless filmmakers' lips after the box office success of American Pie , which spurred the urge to fill theaters with debauched hi-jinks that young gentlemen especially would find funny.

Todd Phillips perfected that formula over the course of the 00s, and he started with 2000's Road Trip , a raunchy gross-out fest cranked up to 11 about a fairly normal college student played by Breckin Meyer who hits the road to intercept a sex tape of him and a one-night stand that was accidentally mailed to his girlfriend, played by Rachel Blanchard , who's at another school. And of course he wouldn't embark on such an important mission alone...

Sex is had between expected and unexpected partners, a prostate is probed, French toast gets a dusting of flop sweat, a mouse is molested by Tom Green . Phillips, who also wrote the story with Scot Armstrong , packed it all in, and even borrowed Stifler from what would soon be a whole American Pie franchise for the ride.

"I find the term 'gross-out comedy' sort of dismissive," Phillips, ready to go to bat for whatever he was working on since the beginning, told the BBC in 2000. "It's very easy to be gross, it's very hard to be funny. I think why Road Trip works is not because of the gross stuff, it's because of the characters."

And since 20 years is a bit of time, definitely enough time for a few twists and turns on everybody's journey, let's get a load of what these miscreants all looked like then vs. now:

Nicholas hoult and son joaquin make first public appearance together, kate middleton's video on cancer diagnosis flagged with editor's note, conjoined twins abby and brittany hensel epically clap back at haters.

After standing out as Travis Birkenstock in Clueless and scoring supporting roles in The Craft , Go and The Insider , Meyer moved into the starring position in Road Trip as Josh—a cheater (it all works out in the end) but the relatively nice, normal one of the bunch. Next up was the ensemble comedy Rat Race and he's the voice of Jon in the Garfield movies with Bill Murray as the lazy, lasagna-loving cat. A regular in movies and TV, Meyer also starred in the legal dramedy Franklin & Bash with Mark-Paul Gosselaar and more recently appeared in Designated Survivor and The Fix .

He has two daughters with ex-wife Deborah Kaplan (who directed him in 2001's Josie and the Pussycats ) and since 2017 he's been in a relationship with The Bold and the Beautiful actress Linsey Gofrey after they met on a dating app for people in the industry.

"I always tell him all the time, I'm like, 'I had the biggest crush on you when I was growing up. I loved Travis from Clueless,'" Godfrey told Soap Opera Digest in December 2018. "And I loved him in Road Trip and all that kind of stuff. He thinks that's really funny and I think it's really funny. He was adorable and we both have big crushes on each other. He's the best!"

He had just played Stiffler in American Pie and would have three more turns as the unhinged but well-meaning party animal down the road, but first—Josh's best friend, the mildly unhinged but well-meaning party animal E.L., in Road Trip .

Scott dove into his subsequent type-casting with relish, starring in the bromance classic Dude, Where's My Car? with Ashton Kutcher and Final Destination (both of which also came out in 2000), The Dukes of Hazzard , Mr. Woodcock and Role Models . He also turned up in Old School and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back and provided the voice of Crash in four Ice Age films. He has also starred in a number of small films, including the ensemble sci-fi thriller-comedy Southland Tales (audiences didn't really get it either) and the Courteney Cox-directed Just Before I Go .

He actually hasn't done much TV (his movies have quietly grossed almost $5 billion collectively in the meantime), but in 2018 was cast in Fox's Lethal Weapon to replace the fired Clayne Crawford as the resident live wire, but the buddy-cop dramedy was canceled at the end of its third season.

Having maintained an impressively private personal life for two decades, Williams married interior designer Olivia Korenberg in September 2019.

Beth turned out to be the girl for Josh in the end, never mind the shady cinematic start to their relationship.

After Road Trip , which was preceded by modeling, starring in Varsity Blues and playing Ruby on Felicity , Smart reunited with Breckin Meyer in Rat Race and co-starred in The Butterfly Effect with Ashton Kutcher . She has appeared in a slew of films, including Win a Date With Tad Hamilton , Starsky & Hutch , The Best Man , Just Friends (as the object of Ryan Reynolds ' long-suffering affection), The Town and the holiday ABC Family classic 12 Dates of Christmas . Later TV work has included Maron , Law & Order: SVU , MacGyver and the new DC Universe web series Stargirl with Luke Wilson , which just premiered May 18, 2020.

Smart married HGTV star Carter Oosterhouse in 2011 and they welcomed daughter Flora via surrogate in 2016.

Josh's smart-ass pal Rubin is the reason this road trip was possible, as he's the one who sent the wrong tape (Josh had also been recording innocent video messages in the era before FaceTime and Snapchat) to Josh's girlfriend, Tiffany.

Costanzo went on to co-star in 40 Days and 40 Nights with Josh Hartnett and then landed the technically plum role of Joey 's nephew Michael Tribbiani in the ultimately short-lived Friends spin-off. A steadier gig came as a star of the USA dramedy Royal Pains for eight seasons, after which he had a pivotal role in the HBO series The Night Of and joined the cast of Designated Survivor in season two.

Green's bum isn't on the road trip, but his character—Barry Manilow—serves as narrator and school bard. 2000 was an eventful year for the host of The Tom Green Show— he chronicled his successful treatment for testicular cancer on his popular MTV show, and then appeared as The Chad in Charlie's Angels alongside then-girlfriend Drew Barrymore , whom he was married to for eight months in 2001 before filing for divorce that December.

After Road Trip , his biggest movie was 2001's Freddy Got Fingered , but he has written and produced and appeared in all sorts of productions over the years (including Tom Green's House Tonight , an ahead-of-his-time talk show he filmed in his living room, and Tom Green Live ), as well as done cameos and a lot of voice work.

The meek and scrawny Kyle was a sight gag in and of himself, but though he had some lows (eating adulterated French toast being the most memorable), he also ended up with Rhonda's leopard-print underpants as a souvenir from the best night of his life to date.

After Road Trip , his movie debut, Qualls starred in his own bro comedy, 2002's The New Guy , but is mainly known for supporting appearances in the likes of Hustle & Flow and TV shows including Lost , Criminal Minds , My Name Is Earl , The Big Bang Theory , Breaking Bad , Supernatural , Fargo and The Man in the High Castle , on which he was a regular for three seasons.

He also reprised the role of Kylie in 2009's direct-to-DVD sequel Road Trip: Beer Pong .

After sharing with an audience that he was gay during one of his pal Jim Jeffries ' stand-up shows (in 2013 Qualls starred in Legit , a sitcom co-created by Jeffries), Qualls took to Twitter in January 2020 to write , "It is 11:20pm. I just came out on stage at a @jimjefferies show in San Diego. Yep, I'm gay. Been gay this whole time. Tired of worrying about what people would think of me. Tired of worrying about what it would do to my career."

None of the aftermath of Rhonda's memorable sex scene, when Kyle's friends tease him, aged well, but Davis made a splash as the confident, sexy-as-hell girl Kyle loses his virginity to on the road. The model and actress went on to a career as a motivational speaker and style consultant before she died at 36 in 2011 from a pulmonary embolism following knee surgery. She was married to comedian Mike Yard from 2008 until her death.

Perfectly nice Tiffany remains none the wiser about Josh's unfaithful ways after the tape turns out not to be what Josh thought it was, and they amicably split up.

Blanchard, the former child star ( The Kids of Degrassi Street , Are You Afraid of the Dark? ) who played Cher when Clueless was briefly a sitcom, has since worked alongside a slew of talented actors, but her most recognizable film since Road Trip is the instant-cult-classic Snakes on a Plane . Up next, however, she's in Adrian Lyne 's thriller Deep Water , the film that brought co-stars Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas together off-camera, due out in November 2020.

Her TV work includes 7th Heaven , Peep Show , Psych , Fargo and Audience Network's You Me Her , which has been renewed for a fifth and final season.

In 2014, Blanchard told ABC News that anything online saying she had a husband named Adrian Brown and two kids was a lie. "That's a rumor," she said. "I think I have an Internet stalker, who started that and then won't take it down. I keep having it taken down and he keeps putting it back up. But I don't have a husband, I don't have two kids."

She has since married composer Jeremy Turner and they have a daughter, Maxine.

The star of stage and screen who originated the role of Mark in Rent and Lucas in If/Then on Broadway can play a chilling villain, see anti-Semite McGoo in School Ties and Josh, obsessive TA turned cult leader, in Road Trip . He's appeared in numerous indie films over the years, as well as bigger fare such as A Beautiful Mind and the 2005 movie adaptation of Rent , and his more recent TV work includes Psych , The Knick , The Good Fight and 13 Reasons Why . He currently stars on CBS All Access' Star Trek: Discovery as Lt. Commander Paul Stamets.

In 2017, Rapp changed the course of a lot of things when he said in an interview that Kevin Spacey had made a sexual advance toward him when he was 14 and Spacey was 26, which triggered a spiral of accusations that resulted in Spacey being fired from House of Cards . (Spacey said he didn't remember doing any such thing, but if he did so while drunk, he was deeply sorry.)

"I felt bad for the hundreds of people who were working on the show," Rapp said a year later, reflecting on how swiftly Spacey's career collapsed after he came forward. The actor told BuzzFeed he was "relieved" when House of Cards returned for another season without Frank Underwood.

In November 2019, Rapp announced that he was engaged to his partner, Ken Ithiphol .

The before-and-after of the prominent character actor never gets old. Suplee had already excelled at comedy (the only one who can't see the optical illusion in Mallrats ; a high school bully's strongman in Boy Meets World ) and drama (as Edward Norton 's racist lump of a friend in American History X ) by the time he had a small role in Road Trip as Ed. He was played a high school football player in Remember the Titans in 2000 and went on to co-star in My Name Is Earl from 2005 to 2009. His film resume includes The Butterfly Effect , Cold Mountain , Unstoppable , The Wolf of Wall Street , Deepwater Horizon and the Norton-directed Motherless Brooklyn , and more recent TV work includes Hulu's Chance , the new Twin Peaks , and Netflix's The Ranch and The Santa Clarita Diet .

He has four children with Brandy Lewis , his wife since 2006, and in January 2020—after almost a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and gaining and losing hundreds of pounds—he proudly revealed off his new muscled physique

The News Radio star and all-around quirky fellow had a brief cameo as an obviously strange motel clerk.

Amid several arrests over the years, some of them involving indecent exposure and groping other men, Dick has been open about struggling with substance abuse that has had him in and out of rehab. But despite the toxic behavior, he has stayed busy, having his own sketch show, The Andy Dick Show , on MTV for a couple years; becoming a regular on the dais at celebrity roasts; releasing a few comedy albums; and doing a lot of cameos as an oddball in the likes of Community , Maron , Workaholics and Netflix's Sense8 .

Dick has a son from his first marriage, to Ivone Kowalczyk, and a son and daughter with partner Lena Sved—who obtained a restraining order against Dick in 2018, claiming he had gotten belligerent in front of their son, who in turn locked his drunken father out of the house.

As "French Toast Guy," an otherwise unnamed diner cook, he amiably agreed to give Kyle a new plate of French toast without powdered sugar, and proceeded to remove the sugar in every obscene way imaginable and serve it back to him.

Sanz had joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1998 and stayed until 2006, while also building a resume of small but standout comedic roles in the likes of Boat Trip, School for Scoundrels, Lucky You, Step Brothers, Year One and Bachelorette. He's also the voice of Duncan in Wreck-It-Ralph and Ralph Breaks the Internet . His acting on TV has included 30 Rock , House of Lies , Parks and Recreation , Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt , Modern Family , Scorpion , GLOW and The Mandalorian .

In 2008 he revealed that he'd lost about 100 pounds, and later said on The Tonight Show that he'd been working out more and cut out alcohol.

Sanz is quiet about his persona life, but he married his wife Jenn in 2015.

A prolific improv comedian and star of Mr. Show and The Larry Sanders Show long before she became the unflappable IT wiz Chloe O'Brian on 24 , Rajskub had a quick turn in Road Trip as school bus dispatcher Blind Brenda whose intuition (and middle finger) works just fine.

Road Trip was just an early stop on the journey for Phillips, who got his start making documentaries ( Frat House put him on the map) and then went on to direct and/or write Old School , Starsky & Hutch , School for Scoundrels , The Hangover (as well as Part II and Part III ), Due Date , War Dogs and Joker . He also produced A Star Is Born with longtime buddy Bradley Cooper, who in turn was a co-producer on Joker , which was nominated for 11 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor (as well as every other major award), and Hildur Guðnadóttir won for Best Original Score.

"I'm writing another comedy," Phillips told the BBC in 2000. "But don't worry, it's not a teen movie at all." Just adults who start a fraternity, that's all, and it's spectacular.

Road Trip made almost $120 million worldwide and put Phillips on the dude-comedy map—though, as he would be quick to point out, each of those dudes has a purpose.
