The latest film in the women-gone-wild trend features 4 college friends (Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tiffany Haddish) who travel to New Orleans for a weekend full of raunchy fun. There’s lots of crude language and coarse insults with Haddish riotously leading the charge. As expected, they push the limits of outrageousness with exposed body parts and bodily functions. Meanwhile, the inevitable emotional moments (which drag down the final 30 minutes) revolve around female empowerment, friendship and loyalty. While there’s nothing especially original here, director Malcolm D. Lee is skilled at the high-energy pace and raucous attitude that appeals to his audiences.
