A Girls Trip Leading to a Fall
By Skip Sheffield
Who would have thought a black chick comedy could be so
appealing to a whitebread male? As the whitebread male in question I can assure
you “Girls Trip” is the funniest thing I have seen in quite some time.
There is unquestionably a cultural divide between black and
white Americans. Black people seem looser, freer, less uptight than whites.
Director Malcolm D. Lee (“The Best Man” and its sequel) has accentuated those
differences ingeniously.
A crew of four writers hatched a plot about four longtime
college friends who have a reunion at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
Essence is a slick magazine aimed primarily at African-American women. Ryan
Pierce (Regina Hall) is the most successful of the group as author and
television personality with her husband Stewart (Mike Colter) Ryan has been
invited as the keynote speaker at the Essence Festival. She invited her friends
Sasha (Queen Latifa), Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Dina (Tiffany Haddash)
along for the ride. Highjinks and mishaps immediately ensue amongst the “Flossy
Posse” as they call themselves. Some serious things happen as well.
“Girls Trip” has an unbelievable
fairy as aspect to it, but the fun is watching these women going at it in
extremely politically non-correct fashion. Let’s just say the language is blue,
peppered with N words, F words, C words and MF words. The women utter insults
white persons would never be allowed to say. My sense is director gave his
powerful women free rein to be as naughty as they wanted to be. They certainly
are as funny as we want them to be.
