Storyline

Four best friends, the "Flossy Posse", have grown distant over the years. When lifestyle guru Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall), who is dubbed "the next Oprah", is offered an opportunity to be the keynote speaker at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, she decides to bring along her friends to turn her work vacation into a girls' trip. Joining Ryan is Sasha (Queen Latifah), an ex-journalist from Time magazine who now owns a floundering gossip site and is struggling financially; Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), a nurse and uptight mom who has not had a boyfriend since her divorce years earlier; and Dina (Tiffany Haddish), a happy-go-lucky, impulsive party animal who was fired after assaulting a coworker shortly before the trip. While on the trip, Sasha is sent a tip that shows a picture of a black man's head kissing an Instagram model, presumed to be Ryan's husband Stewart.

Goofs

Dina says she is immune to gonorrhea because she's already had it. Because Neisseria gonorrhea exhibits antigenic variation, a previous infection does not confer immunity. However, this was intentional to show that Dina is not very bright especially earlier when she said that an infection cannot occur in the rectum.

User Reviews

Not a chick flick and worthwhile for guys to see

Pleasantly surprised I enjoyed this and got bonus points for seeing with My Lady. Probably won't get full recognition it deserves but this movie definitely was worth seeing (even for this guy).

Very funny, great script, exceptional chemistry among all the stars. Often this doesn't come thru but all actors (male & female)represented very well. Great interface with New Orleans festival and makes you wonder were the scenes actually performed there or injected, lol.

Tiffany Haddish (Dina) stole the show and hopefully gets proper recognition.

Only warning is content definitely "R" rated so don't accept urge to bring younger audiences. Definitely adult content and adult humor.
