Girls Trip (2017)

This episode Alicia and I go see the movie Girls trip.  Not top on my list but we heard a lot of critical pluses about the movie and it did have some great veteran female leads.  so we took the chance and went to see it.  Yup I went too.  What we found was something that wasn't what the trailers totally represented or what the normal raunchy buddy trip normally shows us.

Best friends Ryan, Sasha, Lisa and Dina are in for the adventure of a lifetime when they travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival. Along the way, they rekindle their sisterhood and rediscover their wild side by doing enough dancing, drinking, brawling and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.

Alicia and I went to this movie ready for some kick ass spy stuff and really trying see what this movie was all about.  We saw some pretty good major actors in this movie along with Charlize Theron that help her along her trip to find the proverbial spy list with all the agents in the whole wide world.
