Rough Night Movie Review

in #movie7 years ago (edited)

Rough Night is a dark, over-the-top bachelorette-party-gone-wrong comedy starring Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, and more. Expect binge drinking, drug use, crude sexual situations, strong language, and violence played for laughs. Three people are killed during the movie; their deaths are joked about and/or blithely explained away. A dead body stars in a number of visual gags: propped up in a leather sex swing with a goofy mask on, kissed by a woman trying not to let others discover he's dead, etc. Characters try to dispose of a dead body to evade murder charges; they clean up a large pool of blood with towels. Sexual situations include a three-way scene in which a woman receiving implied oral sex shrieks and moans (no graphic nudity). Jokes also reference infidelity, sexually transmitted diseases, sex toys, fetishes, picking up strangers at gas stations to pay them for sex acts, and other mature topics. Characters who want to get wasted drink tons of liquor, including champagne and shots; they vomit and make fatal mistakes under the influence. They also snort cocaine, smoke pot, take pills to stay awake, and buy methamphetamine. Frequent strong language includes "hell," "d-mn," "b-tch," "c--t," "a-s," "f-ck," and more.

Directs the film Lucia Aniello, American director writer who makes his debut for the big screen. Its beginnings in the industry were by short films comic genre: "The Last Supper" (2009), "Emmy Training Day" (2011) and "Life After Emmy" (2011). After these titles he directed several chapters for the series "Paulilu Mixtape" (2012) and two for "Other Space" (2015), a series of adventures and science fiction exhibited in Yahoo! Screen. He has also directed more than a dozen chapters for the sitcom "Broad City" (2014) and three episodes of the comedy and science fiction miniseries "Time Traveling Bong" (2016), whose plot centers on travel in time.

WHAT'S THE STORY?
When five old friends head to Miami to throw a bachelorette bash for Jess (Scarlett Johansson), they have no idea what a ROUGH NIGHT they're in for. A decade ago, these friends were party monsters who could hold their own in beer pong; now they've grown up (somewhat). Jess is running for state senator and engaged to the adoring Peter (Paul W. Downs); Blair (Zoe Kravitz) is embroiled in a custody battle; Frankie (Ilana Glazer) is a full-time social justice warrior; Pippa (Kate McKinnon) is living a free-spirit life in Australia; and Alice (Jillian Bell) is a teacher who cares for her Alzheimer's-stricken mother (yet is still the same needy party girl she was in college). When the friends decide to go slightly crazy and hire a stripper, things get really bad, really fast when he accidentally ends up dead. Now the partiers have a problem do they hide the body and hope nobody notices anything? Or do they face the potentially life-ruining consequences?
