You'll be glad you came.

Making a bold and brassy bid to be the African-American Bridesmaids, the unrelentingly raunchy comedy Girls Trip dispatches lifelong friends Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish on a trip to the Essence Festival in New Orleans.

Whether you laugh uproariously at the women’s drunken and lusty antics, or shudder and cringe in dismay, will be very much a matter of taste. Amid all the bodily fluid gags is a resolutely upbeat celebration of empowerment and sisterhood, and the irrepressibly exuberant, scene-stealing Haddish is clearly a breakout star.

Jason Best

A film critic for over 25 years, Jason admits the job can occasionally be glamorous – sitting on a film festival jury in Portugal; hanging out with Baz Luhrmann at the Chateau Marmont; chatting with Sigourney Weaver about The Archers – but he mostly spends his time in darkened rooms watching films. He’s also written theatre and opera reviews, two guide books on Rome, and competed in a race for Yachting World, whose great wheeze it was to send a seasick film critic to write about his time on the ocean waves. But Jason is happiest on dry land with a classic screwball comedy or Hitchcock thriller.
