Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Funny in parts but very predictable.... it's just your typical 'chick flick' with your typical storyline.

Yeah it was generic!But come on, well all know what we are in for when we sit down to watch a movie such as "Girls Trip", don't we? Yet, there is something alluring about them. Perhaps it is the chance that this particular movie turns out to be the undiscovered diamond in the rough.The storyline in "Girls Trip" was something much similar to what had been done before in other movies in the same genre. However, there was just something entertaining about the movie which made it work."Girls Trip" had an interesting ensemble of cast, which includes Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish. I must admit that these actresses were really well-cast for this movie, because they brought a lot of laughs, charms and energy to the movie.A good combination of acting performances from a good cast and a wholehearted - albeit generic - storyline made for a nice watch.

All I could think was everyone involved should thank God for Tiffany Hadish. She makes this otherwise nearly-unwatchable gross-out "comedy" merely not very good instead of outright terrible.

GRADE: BTHE FILM IS RECOMMENDED.JIM'S REVIEW: A best-selling author, a gossip columnist, a sex-starved divorcee, and a loud raucous friend reunite with hopes of rekindling their friendships in the highly successful and profitable Girls Trip. The comedy was critically acclaimed, with talk of possible Oscar nominations, which never materialized (nor should it had).The film provides many laugh-out-loud moments and it is a raunchy time, but hardly original. Too often the movie follows its well worn formula with various results, all of which are predictable fare. Much will depend on your liberal sense of humor due to many of the R-rated situations and dialog. The film is capably directed by Malcolm D. Lee and the screenplay by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver keeps the comic interludes coming at a fast pace.The obvious plot revolves around a hard-working nurse and mother who does not have much of a social life and an Oprah wannabe who is much too accepting of her philandering husband's escapades with his gorgeous mistress. This irritates their other girlfriends who decide to join forces in an effort of unitarity and sisterhood and bond on a trip to New Orleans where, of course, they meet many studs and have sex along the way.The actress all have their memorable moments. Queen Latifah is the solid dependable friend, Regina King brings the drama, Jada Pinkett Smith morphs from typical wallflower to beautiful butterfly, but it is newcomer Tiffany Haddish who steals the show with her outrageous hi-jinks and line delivery (much as Melissa McCartney did in Bridesmaids...a better film with the same "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" premise.) Girls Trip is just that...fun, nothing more.
