Rough Night: Best/Worst Bachelorette Weekend Ever!

The night I saw this movie was the BEST!  I live about 2 minutes away from Studio C, an amazing theater in Okemos, MI, and have been dying to ride my new bike with a basket to the movies. Wednesday's movie was on a sunny night with no rain, so I knew this was my night.  Not only was the bike ride perfect, but I ended up seeing a movie that made me laugh out loud a lot.

Jessica is running for office and a work-a-holic, but has an amazingly supportive fiancé and is about to embark on a weekend of fun with her BFFs from college for her bachelorette party.  Alice, who has always proclaimed herself to be the closest person to Jessica, has planned an epic party and has no idea it is about to get more real than she imagined.  The gals go to a beautiful paradise with blue water and white sandy beaches while making sure they dance the night away.  Once back at their amazing pad, they get this idea that it would be fun to hire a stripper.  This is when things get a little crazy, as if they hadn't already.  The stripper does his thing and Alice gets a little too excited only to end up accidentally killing the guy.  Now their night is about protecting their butts and making sure nobody goes to jail.  Meanwhile, Jessica leaves a horrible voicemail to her fiancé that gets cut off, which gives him a very wrong idea of what her night is like.  He ends up driving across the country to save his future marriage.  Will he still want to marry her when he finds out she was an accessory to murder?

This movie didn't get the best ratings.  IMDB gave it 5.5/10 and Rotten Tomatoes was really no better at 50%.  I thought it was hilarious and would give it a 7.5/10!!  Each girl in this movie had their own backstory and brought more comedy.  It also had some awesome stars such as Jillian Bell (she was in the 2nd Jump Street movie) and Kate McKinnon (SNL!).  As much as I loved the femininity of the girls portion of the film, my favorite component had to be the side story occurring with her fiancé.  He and his friends had the most hilarious bachelor party (we are talking wine and cheese tasting) and when he thinks his finance is cheating on him, he follows the advise of his friends and drives across the country in a diaper and drinks a ton of Monster drinks, just to make sure he gets to her in time.  His story makes this movie, along with the ridiculous comedy from some amazing ladies.
