When Audrey's business trip to Asia goes sideways, she enlists the help of Lolo, her childhood best friend, Kat, a college friend, and Deadeye, Lolo's eccentric cousin. Their epic, no-holds-barred experience becomes a journey of bonding, friendship, belonging and wild debauchery that reveals the universal truth of what it means to know and love who you are.
My review · Reviewed 07/30/2023
It's a shame that the writing for this movie wasn't up to par with the fantastic actresses that starred in this movie. The whole drug thing.... really? That's an example of good comedic writing? Unfortunately it borrowed heavily from movies like Bridesmaids (I had the same complaints about that movie). It is a shame that these movies are becoming so formulaic. That said, the last 20 minutes was really good.
