Review of Girls Trip (2017) by Thenema56 — 18 Sep 2018

Somebody please write a comedy that stars black women proving that humor and sexuality can be intelligent, subtle,and classy instead of crass. Material that does not impose breast baring, ass twerking and dick-sucking images on the female characters. In the deepest recesses of the movie making industry's mind, the black female is often typecast as an oversexed 'ho' prowling the streets for men or an insanely irrational, angry and combative female. this movie perpetuates both stereotypes.

Sure, I'm black, female and glad that the movie stars four black women in their own comedy genre based on the raunchy night or week-end out-just like white men or women.Great. But the next step/challenge is to create believable black female characters who move and connect with the audience without needing to commit vulgar acts on fruit. After more than two hours of this crude movie, I wished to delete my 'recent history' but there was no delete button in my brain.
