Girls' Night Out

Above average performances - particularly from Jacob Blair - in the hands of an experienced director almost make up for a very uneven script. Almost.

Recently I stumbled across this review. I was floored by all the negative reviews it received; that I felt compelled to weigh in on this movie.

Since when does a comedy have to be realistic? What planet were these critics from?

I thought this movie was not only hilarious but it had a believable storyline!

If Nine to Five was such a rave with a work related storyline, why wasn't Girls Night Out!

Hum? I'll let you fill in the gap for yourself!

Was it really that inconceivable that profesional women of color couldn't have found themselves in a comedic situation with some girlfriend drama which could make you 🤣!

I would watch it again just for laughs!

This film essentially begins with an attractive young woman by the name of "McKenzie" (Mackenzie Mauzy) being given a surprise bachelorette party by three of her friends from her college days. While this is happening, her fiancé "Reese" (Cody Ray Thompson) supposedly receives a text message from McKenzie asking him to meet her at a nightclub not too far from where her party is taking place. Not seeing in any harm in this, he goes there--only to be kidnapped by McKenzie's old boyfriend "Brandon" (Jacob Blair) who she had accused of raping her a few years earlier. To that effect, McKenzie soon gets a phone call from Brandon who demands that she and her three friends conduct a scavenger hunt within certain time frames if she ever wants to see Reese again. Being quite loyal to their friend, all three young ladies agree. But what they don't realize is the extent to which Brandon is willing to put them in harm's way to satisfy an old grudge. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this would have been an okay film if it hadn't been diminished somewhat by the rather poor ending. Likewise, some of the scenarios were a bit too far-fetched as well. In any case, while I don't consider this to be a bad movie necessarily, it strained credibility a bit too much for me to rate it any higher than I have. Slightly below average.

This was a horrible movie. Horrible plot, horrible acting, horribly boring. Worst of all is the ending which leaves you with unanswered questions till you realize you really don't give a d*** about the answers anyway b/c you're so glad the movie is finally over. Have a root canal instead, it will be less painful than watching this movie. I rate this movie S for S*** b/c that's what it is.

LFM cranks out guilty pleasure movies, the trick is to pick out the ones that are fun to watch. This was a mild version of SAW but more gritty than your average LFM fair. The friends also reflected on their past as they did their assigned task.

Was it the Godfather, no, but it was a good LFM movie.
