Goofs

When the girls inform Ryan of the news that her husband is expecting a baby with his mistress, we can see Queen Latifah's ponytail is long and down to her butt when she goes to answer the door for Stewart. However, later when Stewart and Ryan leave the room and join the girls in the lobby, we now see Queen Latifah's ponytail is significantly shorter.

Lisa Cooper: You know what, that can cause a lot of infections.
Dina: Girl, you can't get no infection in your booty hole! It's a booty hole!

Hilarious and so much fun to watch!

I had been anticipating watching this movie since I first saw the trailer. I love this movie!! I saw it with my closest girl friends and we laughed out loud throughout the entire movie. I will definitely watch this again and again. The story was great and the characters were a lot of fun to watch. The cast was absolutely perfect and I don't think they could've done a better job casting this movie. I had no idea Tiffany Haddish was so funny! I appreciate a great FEEL GOOD story like this one and I love that the bond of the characters is one that inspires women to stick together and support one another. Well done!
