Surprisingly funny! I thought this was going to be your regular running of the mill chick flick, far from it. Super hilarious and a really raunchy comedy.

I didn't like _Girls Trip_. No great shock there, it's an American Comedy in much the same vein as a great number of American Comedies that have come before it I didn't like. A lot of other people did like it. That's fine. Different strokes...
