- 83IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandGirls Trip nails laugh after laugh even amidst — and oftentimes because of — dramatic issues that wouldn’t be out of place in a Lifetime movie.
- 83The Film StageJose SolísThe Film StageJose SolísGirls Trip feels like the first of its kind: a raunchy, endlessly entertaining comedy written by and starring black women.
- 80The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe progression from raunchy, raucous laughs into dramatic conflict and then out the other side into the uplifting empowerment of sisterhood and self-worth isn't entirely seamless, but there's too much dizzy pleasure here to get hung up on the flaws.
- 80VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeThe movie’s equal-opportunity irreverence makes for a welcome addition to the bachelor-party genre, so often aimed at the frat-boy crowds.
- 80Girls Trip is just fun, a movie that—even within the context of its broad, exaggerated humor—never seems to be trying too hard.
- 75Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganEntertainment WeeklyDevan CogganThe jokes that are there are shocking and hysterical, and unlike some similar comedies about grownup friends, the four core characters are actually likeable.
- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreRaunchy, rude and weapons-grade wicked, Girls Trip is the funniest big studio comedy since “Trainwreck.”
- 70TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanTheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanThere are few surprises here.... But that’s okay, because we’re in it for the ride, the company, and the pure pleasure of watching these women, and the actresses playing them, embrace an independence Hollywood doles out too grudgingly.
- 70Village VoiceMelissa AndersonVillage VoiceMelissa AndersonMalcolm D. Lee’s comedy, written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver — the same creative team behind last year’s uneven Barbershop: The Next Cut — pops with next-level ribaldry and smack talk, especially in its first half. But in the remaining hour, the laughs arrive less often as the gender politics grow weirder.
- 58The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe A.V. ClubJesse HassengerBefore the opening credits have finished rolling, voice-over narration is lamenting the distance that can grow between even the tightest of friendships and hyping up the audience for a reunion of characters who have barely been introduced. It may be shameless, but it’s honest.
