Fall Girls (2019) User Reviews

Baby crying

[cbrazzoni · 4/10 · 3 January 2020]

Decent enough plot but had to turn off the movie when they found their boss's dead body due to the sound of the main actresses voice. Terrible acting

Rough weekend at Bernie's

[eddiezed · 3/10 · 1 January 2020]

Good plot but horrid acting. Overplayed female and male leads. A train wreck.

Ok movie

[MissAshley_22 · 4/10 · 25 January 2020]

A combination of The hangover and Weekends at Bernie's featuring Women of color

Terrible!

[jaywes-51086 · 1/10 · 9 January 2020]

I couldn't even finish this movie, terrible acting and rip-off plot! Don't waste your time!

Unbelievable

[sabrina_hurdle · 1/10 · 6 February 2020]

Omg!!! The acting was awful awful awful awful. Just terrible...main character and her husband were the worst...just awful

Worst Movie Ever Made!

[rohaanp2020 · 1/10 · 9 February 2020]

I don't usually leave reviews and I really wish I had checked IMDb before clicking the play button on Netflix. What a waste of time. The acting was beyond shocking, like what were they thinking when they gave these roles out. The storyline was average but could have been a funny and entertaining movie if they got the right actors.

Boring movie

[ljambie · 1/10 · 5 January 2020]

What a boring movies! Bad acting and that Marquis guy was trying so hard to be like Kevin Hart. I just wasted my time watching it.

Why do Americans love wasting money and our time?

[VIPEntertainment · 1/10 · 6 January 2020]

Clearly this was a poor attempt to mix Weekend at Bernie's with Girls Trip with bootleg characters. Not knocking the actors but the screenplay was a bit "immature" lol (go see who wrote it) characters written to act like already existing real life people. Waste of time even before sleep movies. I had to finish the movie because anyway invested in seeing this debacle pan out. Unrealistic scenes and over acting like a high school drama play. But in the bright side Amara was the only reason this movie had viewers. Nubian Beauty!

What a mess

[kimrmsanchez · 2/10 · 12 January 2020]

There were some funny moments in the movie but the whole thing was awful. They should've made it a little longer so the end didn't look so bad because it was so short that it ended up looking a mess at the end. There was a point where I didn't even know what was going on because everyone was all over the place. The acting wasn't good.. The only one that can act was Tami Roman. J boog made it funny, Amara was over doing it(the girl can't act to save her life) and the rest of the cast were just really bad actors.... This movie was a waste of money and time really. I do not recommend this movie to anyone.

Not even worth ONE star!

[babybaking · 1/10 · 31 January 2020]

Amara LaNegra is such a bad actress...pretty face/body is all she got. Seriously...and that Barbie hair wig...just no. The only one with decent acting ability is Erica Peeples. Paris looked good all dolled up. Tami Roman is looking old.

The storyline has been done so many times over and by way better actors.

That said, the quality of the film was WAY better than any Tyler Perry movies.

I'm glad black women are getting a chance in the acting world, but please, work on your "craft".

TERRIBLE

[shawng2020 · 20 February 2020]

Chris Stokes pulled a modern day Tyler Perry. The acting is absolutely horrible. I would say that they probably lost some serious money making this film, but then again, they didn't spend anything apparently

Decent Movie

[julianjoker-01865 · 8/10 · 7 January 2020]

The movie isn't bad. Yes, a few of the actors could've been less dramatic in a few parts, but overall they all managed to play their parts convincingly. I would've gave a 10/10 if a few of the criticism in the comments weren't true.

Enjoyable Movie..thought it was fun..

[staceys-75853 · 7/10 · 16 January 2020]

So, I love All movies. Of course this was Not Oscar worthy, but fun to watch. I hate the negative reviews..what do yall expect? Just enjoy the fun..

Woeful

[inmysights · 1/10 · 23 January 2020]

Would give it 0 stars if I could!

Plot is confusing from the start.. a white woman owning a business that only hires women of colour.. okay? Then they plot to kill the boss while one of the women's husband acts like an utter fruit cake over her attending a strip club????

Weird and not worth the watch. Horrible acting too.

Waste of time

[goforcareen-1 · 2/10 · 4 January 2020]

I was hopeful it would be good, but over acting, stupid plot, weekend at Bernies but not funny at all. Costumes were good.

Golf cart guy

[alluravee · 2/10 · 20 January 2020]

Played by Rey Herrera did the best acting in the whole picture....yet was not credited

wtf

[minnieweathernatalie · 1/10 · 8 February 2020]

I turned it off before the 5 minute mark. Terrible intro.

Lower Your Expectations

[sbrinsonwim · 3/10 · 24 January 2021]

Let's be honest, no one watching this expected it to be an Oscar contender. If you did, be mad at yourself. It is a typical, low budget take with a recycled plot. Chris Stokes isn't Spike Lee.or even Tyler Perry. And that's ok. I've seen a lot worse produced and directed movies.

WHAT

[bearsdown-63388 · 1/10 · 28 March 2020]

Straight trash hommy only good thing I like is that fine Erica remember her from Lincoln Heights and Let's Stay Together she gets the 1 star ps saw who directed it explains it all

This movie is so bad, you can't even get it on Amazon

[selfdestructo · 1/10 · 13 January 2022]

It's a modern-day, gender-reversed ripoff of Weekend at Bernies, though no admission is made that this plot is blatantly stolen (nor is it a "reboot" under a different name).

The second I saw this was produced by something called "BET Her," I nearly shut it off. But my curiosity had already been piqued. As far as I can tell, BET Her is like the black Lifetime. The female empowerment element found in Fall Girls is so overwhelmingly obnoxious, with the subtlety of a sledge hammer to the head, well, that was only the first obstacle to overcome with this flick. AND I love powerful, ass-kicking chicks!

Weekend at Bernies, wacky premise, right? In this movie, several eminently promotable co-workers of boss Simone (played alive and dead by Joely Fisher, how she wound up in this trainwreck, I'll never know) are all out partying it up, celebrating the $2 billion sale of the company (yeah, they're computer geniuses, too). So, a night of heavy drinking, drugs, and dancing in San Francisco (funny thing about that) is documented. They all wake up the next morning with a dead Simone lying on the floor of the hotel room. What's their first reaction? She was murdered, and they're all going to jail!! (couldn't possibly be drugs and alcohol-related).

Ok, the film opens with the scene where they wake up and discover the dead body. Then the movie flashes back 48 hours, and it takes another half hour for her to die again. THEN they repeat the opening scene, shot for shot! So this brain trust decides they have to find out what happened to her before reporting the death. They cart her around in a wheelchair and on a golf cart, then treat her to lunch, all in an effort to show everyone Simone is alive and well, while they very competently (girl power) unravel this mystery. I remember in WAB's, they did all these clever -- and funny -- things to move Bernie, and make it appear he was still active. Absolutely no such effort is made in this film. You heard me, they don't even exploit this premise!

I think the biggest sin this movie commits, is the fact that it's not even played as a comedy! Nonsensical choice in tone. Sure, there's "comic relief," in the form of the dim, fat sister-in-law who loves to horde food and eat (ha ha, but of course proves herself very competent, as well as a future agent on the force), and the jealous husband, who will do anything to catch his wife misbehaving... which involves him acting crazy, and yelling at everyone (assuming Kevin Hart is this guy's hero). Both characters: VIOLENTLY UNFUNNY.

There is a completely ludicrous plot twist to cap this one off, that puts all involved in mortal danger! Just when I thought the plot couldn't get any dumber.

A good 9 out of 10 songs on this soundtrack employed autotune. Fall Girls was like a symphonic assault on the senses. Also featured: Maybe the lamest motivational speech I've heard in my life (preceded by a speech already made earlier in the film). All met with rousing acceptance! There was a catch phrase the ladies liked to use throughout this flick. They even save it for the final line in the picture, all said in unison: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!" This movie was set in San Francisco!! God forbid anything original made its way into this script.

Writer/director has some nads on him. Box says "Story by Christopher B. Stokes."

It wasn't that bad

[loilitaa · 3/10 · 13 December 2020]

Amara voice was annoying but I did chuckle a few times . Totally shocked at the ending &&&&&&& I hated how they portrayed Paris as being the slow fat girl 🙄 but overall it was decent.

Good acting from everyone!

[coria_ · 10/10 · 8 January 2020]

Although it was sad to see that the boss was dead this was a very hilarious movie in a way. Also, Amara Le Negra was such a great actress. Id love to see in more films!😉

I mean.....

[capscasey · 7/10 · 14 May 2022]

The acting is terrible lol. Love & Hip Hop Cast members are in this movie.

But it was fun to watch if you got nothing better to do on a Friday night. I liked how the story had an unexpected twist at the end.

Overall just mediocre.

Doesn't deserve a star

[alexnhunha · 1/10 · 16 May 2021]

Nonsense , waste of time Good lord 🙏, what the hell was that I give it minus 1....-1%

Sister-in-law Nonsense

[darjohn-01771 · 1/10 · 16 May 2020]

I nearly ended the movie once the obnoxious, greedy sister-in-law showed up in the lobby. I then decided to end the movie once she entered the hotel room. I refuse to waste my time.
