Rough Night
BFFS
Reunite for Raunchy Bachelorette Party Reminiscent of "The
Hangover"
Since
Jess is also in the midst of a campaign for the state senate, she
doesn't want their reunion to get so out of control as to generate
the sort of negative press that might hurt her candidacy. However,
she's blissfully unaware that decorum is the last thing on the mind
of Alice (Jillian Bell), the girlfriend entrusted with scheduling
their agenda.
Alice
sees the getaway as an opportunity for the BFFs to indulge one last
time in the sort of depravity they enjoyed on campus a decade ago,
when they would get wasted playing beer pong on a typical Friday
night. Consequently, she's prepared for a wild weekend which includes
everything from cocaine to a male stripper.
Such
activities might not sit well with another attendee, Frankie (Ilana
Glazer). After all, she's not only a lesbian, but a repeat offender
worried about violating the "Three Strikes" law mandating a
life sentence. However, pal Pippa (Kate McKinnon), a clown returning
from Australia for a good time, is up for anything, as is
overstressed Blair (Zoe Kravitz) who needs to decompress from an ugly
custody battle.
The
mayhem starts right in the airport terminal when Alice uncorks a
bottle of champagne in celebration, only to unwittingly trigger a
stampede by passengers mistaking the pop for a gunshot. Then, upon
arriving at their beachfront rental house, the girlfriends are
invited by naughty, next-door neighbors Lea (Demi Moore) and Pietro
(Ty Burrell) to participate in an orgy
The
plot thickens soon after the exotic dancer Alice hired rings the
doorbell. Before he has a chance to shed all of his clothes, he
accidentally hits his head and promptly passes away. Against their
better judgment, Jessica and company decide to dump the body in the
ocean rather than call the cops. And what ensues is a
relentlessly-hilarious, ever-escalating comedy of errors.
Thus
unfolds Rough Night, a raunchy romp most reminiscent of The Hangover
(2009), although it also has moments likely to remind you of
Bridesmaids (2011) and Weekend at Bernie's (1989). The movie marks
the phenomenal directorial debut of Lucia Aniello, the first woman to
direct an R-rated comedy since Tamra Davis made Half Baked in 1998
with Dave Chappelle.
Laughs
galore in a bawdy bachelorette party gone from bad to worst!
