Comedy Five best friends from college reunite 10 years later for a wild bachelorette weekend in Miami. Their hard partying takes a hilariously dark turn when they accidentally kill a male stripper. Amidst the craziness of trying to cover it up, they're ultimately brought closer together when it matters most.

	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[A] comedy that’s got some push and some laughs, despite its essentially formulaic nature (...) What’s novel isn’t so much the plot as the spin, the female gaze, the inside-the-club sensibility."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a flavorless stew of elements from other, not necessarily better, movies (...) All the talented women here are stuck playing types rather than characters"	NEG
United States	Kenji Fujishima Slant	"The emphasis on structure also grounds the film in ways that prevent it from truly taking off (...) Aniello's attention to character detail compensates for the film's weaknesses as a comedy (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Kimber Myers The Playlist	"It adheres a bit too closely to the recipe established by its predecessors, but it works well enough to keep the audience laughing."	POS
United States	Joe Dziemianowicz New York Daily News	"[It] gets off to a fast, furious and flagrantly raunchy start only to stumble 30 minutes in. After that, it zigzags unsteadily between being comic and serious and never really achieves lift-off (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Hilarious gags and situations rescue this sloppy comedy from its total lack of structure (...) There are still lots of laughs here, enough to smooth over the erratic filmmaking."	NEU
United States	Emily Yoshida Vulture	"It wants to be a character-based lost-weekend romp, but keeps forcing itself toward increasingly ridiculous and self-consciously naughty set pieces."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Rough Night' starts off with great promise, only to devolve into a series of poor decisions, regretful moments and a general sense of disappointment (...) All five actresses have been far funnier in other roles"	NEG
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"'Rough Night' is a great deal funnier than the majority of studio comedies released in the past year (...) but it feels hampered by its canvas (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
