I don't understand why Amy Poehler directed this movie. She's a good writer. She should know better. It's a cliche', predictable, unfunny, and forced script by one of the the co-stars and SNL writer Emily Spivy. I would expect Poehler to agree to direct it if she could make some changes and improve the script. Or maybe she's not as good a writer as I thought. Either way, it's a waste of time to watch when there's so much to choose from these days.
I would've turned it off after the cliche' opening where all 6 girls are talking about the upcoming trip on the phone together, but I thought there had to be something worthwhile and funny coming. It never did materialize and, by that time, I was too deep in. So I took my punishment and forced myself to finish watching it.
Paula Pell was the only really funny character as I assume this was meant to be a dramedy. Tina Fey wasn't bad either. Their characters were more understated and not overly annoying like the others.
