What happens

Girls Trip is a 2017 American comedy film starring Regina Hall, Tiffany Haddish, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah. The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, from a story by the pair and Erica Rivinoja, who based the script off their own experiences with their female friends. The film follows a group of four friends who go to New Orleans to attend the Essence Music Festival in order to reconnect after a long time. The film premiered in June 2017 and received multiple awards and nominations, most notably at the 49th NAACP Image Awards, with Haddish's performance receiving critical acclaim. A sequel has long been in development; in March 2025, one of the film's producers announced that the project had a completed script and that all four stars would be returning.
