Chris here. With the vengeful bitches of The Beguiled, the raucousness of Girls Trip, and the asskickery of Atomic Blonde coming for our eyeballs, it's shaping up to be a delightfully less macho summer movie season! And now the Broad City team of writer/director Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs is bringing another female-led delight for the summer, Rough Night. Scarlett Johansson leads the exciting cast of Zoë Kravitz, Kate McKinnon, Ilana Glazer, and Jillian Bell for the debaucherous (and deadly) bachelorette party - brace yourselves for "Bridesmaids and The Hangover meet Weekend At Bernie's" comparisons as this one opens.
The first trailer brings the NSFW laughs and shows off the ensemble - so take a look and we'll break down the Yes No Maybe So after the jump...
YES
- It's taken us this long to get Kate McKinnon playing an Australian singer/songwriter party clown, so enjoy it dammit.
- Is that a choreographed friend dance routine? Immediate one star upgrade on all reviews!
- Zoë Kravitz never separating from her wine during catastrophe is my kinda gal!
- Did anyone else catch the glimpse of that stuffy looking bachelor party? Kudos
NO
- Dead hooker jokes? Yikes.
- Even when the jokes land, this type of farce is getting predictable in its raunchy rhythms.
- One comedy can only sustain so many cocaine jokes.
- Much as I'd love this to change my mind, I remain alergic to Jillian Bell.
MAYBE SO
- Shouldn't we trust the makers of Broad City to deliver some satire? Please oh please skewer the tackiness of white lady bachelorette parties to their full potential.
- While Johansson isn't one you think to be a headliner for a comedy, the trailer's attention is spread between each of the ladies more than you would expect with her starpower. Wouldn't that be refreshing if this was more egalitarian than its contemporaries?
- Just think of all the new Ilana Glazer gifs.
I am leaning YES on this by the cast alone, though the trailer is promising! Tell us your thoughts in the comments!
