Rough Night (2017)

A bachelorette party takes an unexpected turn.

Somewhat undecided about what genre it belongs to: is it a comedy or a thriller, with none of the options accomplished in any appreciative way.
One positive thing about it though: feminist ideas emerge by proving that intelligent women are capable of being (big) idiots as well.
I can confirm, however, that Scarlet Johansen is not made for comedy, nor for political intrigue.
Kate McKinnon carries the whole comedy almost by herself beautifully (again), sometimes helped by the giggly Jillian Bell as Alice (whenever she's not extremely irritating). But it's too little to save this.
Everything is a little pushed too far, boring at times, stupid other times, so that you tend to forget any of the positives.
Only to watch if you get bored or are big fans of the actors involved.

Directed by: Lucia Aniello
With: Scarlet Johansen, Kate McKinnon, Zoe Kravitz, Jillian Bell

Rating: 6/10
