Rough Night
Scarlett Johansson leads this R-rated bachelorette party comedy as the bride-to-be, reunited with her longtime friends played by Kate McKinnon (Ghostbusters), Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street), Ilana Glazer (Broad City), and Zoë Kravitz (Mad Max: Fury Road).
Determined to get their freak on in Miami, the squad spend the night getting loose and slamming drugs. But when a male stripper accidentally dies in their hands, their weekend suddenly goes into panic mode. From the writer-director of Broad City.

pressRough Night didn't rewrite the book and it's often thoroughly silly. But it's also - like hen's nights are supposed to be but never are - a lot of fun.
