Rough Night (2017)
6/10
Female Hangover
16 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Rough Night", starring Scarlett Johansson-Ghost in the Shell, The Prestige; Jillian Bell-Office Christmas Party, Bridesmaids; Zoe Kravitz- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, X-Men:First Class and Kate McKinnon-SNL_tv, Office Christmas Party.

This is a female version of the Hangover, with a little Weekend at Bernie's thrown in for good measure. The movie opens about 10 years earlier, with Scarlett, Jillian and Zoe in college and best friends. Jump to the present, and Scarlett is engaged to be married and her old friends want to throw her a bachelorette party in Miami. Kate is a newer friend of Scarlett's that joins them in Miami and becomes fast friends with everyone except Jillian, who seems to be just a tad jealous of her relationship with Scarlett. They all party, get drunk, do drugs, and wind up back at their rented beach house for some more fun. A male stripper is called and an accident happens that leaves the man dead. After a little brainstorming, the girls decide to get rid of the body but of course, things get even more complicated-nothing seems to go as planned. There is a funny cameo of some beach neighbors, who turn out to be swingers. As the end credits start, there is a scene and stay till the very end or you will miss an important plot point getting resolved. It's rated "R" for language, drug use, bloody images and sexual content- no real nudity but lots of penis shaped objects-and has a running time of 1 hour & 41 minutes. It's not quite as good as the Hangover was but it's good for some laughs and would be a good rental.
