无意间看到的一个电影,讲的是一帮大学好朋友,因为要一起参加音乐节,而重新相聚在了一起的故事。
故事的情节是我喜欢的,但是必须承认,台词有些污。哈哈哈
在电影的最后,有一个女生面对众人去揭开自己的伤疤,然后所有的姐妹都站出来的时候,真的好感动。
之所以这周写这部影评,因为今天我的好朋友告诉我她怀孕了,我超级超级开心,兴奋?,她跟我说她今天刚刚知道,我当时特别感动,我们好久没有联系了,因为都在各自忙碌,但是当我们遇到一些自己人生重大的事情的时候,依然会选择告诉彼此,这种感觉不言而喻。
姐妹情深也都是深似海的,都说女孩子之间关系是什么巴拉巴拉之类的,但是我想说,我承认会有这种情况存在,所谓的兄弟情也会这样的。
女孩子们之间的友谊,给彼此所能带来的力量真的会让人心中超级感动,谢谢我的姐们们~爱你们
感谢你们看到这里,愿你诸事顺心
A sisterhood-proselytizing Hollywood comedy pitches to the African-American demography, routinely salted with no-holds-barred vulgarity, yes, still a viable blueprint to garner huge receipts in the North American market.
Regina Hall plays Ryan Pierce, asuccessful author of the chicken-soup-for-the-soul ilk, convenes her three lifelong friends for a weekend junket trip in New Orleans as she is selected as a keynote speaker in the Essence Music Festival. Besides Ryan, the soi-disant “Flossy Posse” is also made up with Sasha (Latifah), a gossip column writer whose business is on the rocks, Lisa ( Pinkett-Smith), a divorcée with two young kids and Dina (Haddish), a fiery clerk currently unemployed.
Their booze-bingeing, party-crashing, celebrity-hobnobbingtrip is punctuated by Ryan’s perfectly fronted marriage with Stewart Pierce (Colter) starting crumbling due to the latter’s cheating habit, and an old score between Ryan and Sasha to further compound the situation, which all paves the ways for Ryan to predictably tip the scale from forbearance to emancipation in her keynote speech and give a cleansing satisfaction to the core audience who are into her heart-lifting peroration, aka, those who actually buy her books. Thankfully owing to a persuasive Regina Hall, who is amazingly, able to add leverage to even the most banal lines, the finale doesn’t pan out as a schmaltzy disaster.
Intrigued purely by the hype of Tiffany Haddish’s Oscar campaign to put this flick on the watchlist, this reviewer tends to disagree with the ballyhoo, she is not even the best amongst her co-stars, for my money, it is Queen Latifah’s Sasha who gears herself up in the same calibre of Hall to the game, whereasJada Pinkett Smith feels a tad stiff in her prim-to-flirty retrogression and it is a crying patronizing move to pair her with Kofi Siriboe’s smoking-hot stud, usually it is an older man bestowed with a half-his-age hottie, so what director Malcolm D. Lee aims atis a petty vengeance by reversing their sex other than some more sober and progressive corrective. As forDina, apart from permanently ruining grapefruit for us (or otherwise giving an upswing of its sale, who knows?),“an empty vessel makes the most noise” sounds germane to her larger-than-life comic relief endeavor.
To this day and age, it is starkly demoralizing to see a mainstream comedy still cannot exempt audience from lavatory humor, the golden shower gag is an embarrassing buzzkill in an otherwise glitzy, garden-variety, female-empowering boilerplate.
