In the past I've done a lot of comparing the all-girl comedy Rough Night (formerly Move that Body and Rock that Body) to the dark comedy Very Bad Things. That was based on the premise and the first trailer released some weeks ago, which looked funny...and yet not as funny as it probably should've considering the cast and Broad City screenwriters. But now with this new red band trailer it's clear that Very Bad Things is the wrong comparison, and that the best gags are indeed the raunchiest.
Scarlett Johansson, Jillian Bell, Zoe Kravitz, Kate McKinnon, and Ilana Glazer make for an impeccable cast of leading ladies, playing best friends who run into some trouble during a crazy bachelorette weekend. What's the problem? They accidentally kill a male stripper, and that's when the movie's greatest influence, Weekend at Bernie's, becomes apparent.
But while 'Bernie's' was relatively tame for a movie about dragging along a dead body, this one is clearly looking to push the boundaries of good taste. Speaking of taste, there's a chance the ladies eat the dead body. Or pull some Human Centipede-type stuff. They definitely do coke. Just sayin'. These ladies get wild.
Rough Night opens June 16th.
