It's been a while since I've reviewed something in here, why not comeback with this? Ever since 2011's bridesmaids - which had me laughing all the way, actually - we had LOTS of producers milking the "older girls wild night out". we had bachelorette in 2012, bad moms in 2016 and 2017 brought us rough night and ended with Girls trip - which is only fair, seeing the public ate that nightmarish saga that was the hangover, a female similar idea had to come balance that out. As the years went by this movies went on being more and more mediocre, reaching his lowest point with this one. I honestly wanted to see this movie thinking "I love me some queen Latifah, she's always so funny and charismatic in her movies, also i love Jayda and I grew up with Regina playing Brenda on Scary Movie. Tiffany Hadish is a funny gal, this has so much potential." Boy, was I dead wrong. We are guided throughout the entire movie on a sea of clichés, group of best friends that got stranded with time, and get together to an EPIC night out - that's actually like 3 nights out, but i guess "girls weekend out" was not as catchy. We have hung gorgeous men, we have a overly sexual friend, a prude, a perfect friend and the extra one that always comes with the set and nobody notices - Tiffany, Jayda, Regina and Queen Latiffah respectively. now, don't get me wrong clichés can work, but not in such high dose. I didn't laugh at any time during the whole 2 hours of movie, and the attempts to rely on sexual jokes - like the grapefruit gag that was honestly CRINGY AS F*CK - and the basic comedy - the peeing scene that was not only unnecessary as it was overextended. I ended up watching this and feeling only one of the characters ended up going through something, while all the others where just there to fill in time. It was not awful, just plain boring to see. which is a SHAME because the whole cast is lovely and had so much potential...

I'm completely on the fence with this one.

I watched the trailer, and somehow I fell under the impression that it would be a fast paced comedy about a gay couple with juicy secrets unraveled by the - coincidentally gay - downstairs neighbor. Boy, was I wrong. I got this sucked into this artsy dramedy that tries to over analyze "gay relationships" instead.

Although it may seem appealing at first, Trying to distance itself from the most common LGBT movies which are usually raunchy comedies - there's not a single sex scene in the entire movie, kudos for that - or unending romantic dramas (which I love, don't get me wrong), it gets boring quite fast. The story develops into a unappealing conclusion, that has nothing to do with the direction it followed in the beginning, too bland and rushed.

The acting is not that bad, and the dialogues are quirky enough though they're not believable... to say the least. But the main problem with this piece, is the utter lack of chemistry between any of the characters. You have a couple, that clearly behaves like two random guys put together in the same room for the first time the week before, a romantic pairing that just has no spark at all, a pair of instant best friends with literally nothing in common, and a pair of old lovers that just don't seem to relate at all.

Maybe it's the dialogues fault, it just feels too... phony, too rehearsed It's like the writer just expect us to fill the blanks in a chemistry that just isn't there.

It's not a great movie. Don't expect a super clever dialogue - I mean, it sure has some pop cultural references in there - but you can watch it without regret. It's okay to watch it in a Sunday afternoon with some popcorn and no expectations whatsoever.
