Regina Hall Shines In Support the Girls, A Charming & Heartfelt Ode To The Underappreciated

If you read Barack Obama's list concerning his 15 favorite movies of 2018, you might have understandably wondered what Support the Girls was. Considering it got only the briefest of theatrical releases back in August, it's likely the film flew under many people's radars, though the endorsement of a former President of the United States should boost its profile nicely. Though I'm nowhere near as influential as Mr. Obama, allow me to reaffirm that Support the Girls is indeed something special and should be getting even more attention. This newest film from writer/director Andrew Bujalski is a humorous and heartfelt feature about people just trying to help other people and make it through another day.

Pack Your Things And Go On A Hilarious Girls Trip

Girls Trip is the sort of movie that very much knows where its best assets are. It recognizes right off the bat that there's more humor and heart to be generated from making its lead four characters true blue friends instead of being individuals who are constantly at each other throats (though there is conflict between two of the members of the group to be sure), for instance. It also clearly knows that it's got plenty of strong performers filling out the lead roles and letting the plot mainly concern the characters caring for one another would be a better way to properly utilize said talents instead of having the four protagonists solely go through contrived conflicts with one another.
