Scarlett Johansson Sets the Record Straight on “Rough Night”: Not Just Your Average Chick Flick

Renowned for her roles in “The Avengers,” Scarlett Johansson recently made headlines when she debunked the idea of her new film, “Rough Night,” being confined to the genre of a ‘chick flick.’ During the premiere of the movie, Johansson spoke with E! News to address the people who categorized this comedy masterpiece as a ‘women’s film.’ With a hint of amusement, the 32-year-old actress remarked, “It feels quite antiquated to simply pigeonhole it as a ‘women’s film.’

When we recognize and embrace the fact that women have a sense of humor, we foster a more inclusive environment where we can openly talk about controversial topics.

Johansson didn’t just redefine the genre of the film, she also expressed her thoughts on its daring content, admitting, “I don’t even consider this movie as raunchy; instead, it’s a bit spicy. The script is hilarious, which initially attracted me to the project.” Her fellow actors were equally excited. Kate McKinnon, a star from “Saturday Night Live,” commended her co-stars.

She described her time collaborating with Johansson as a delightful experience: “She’s just naturally funny and incredibly skilled at thinking on her feet. It’s truly inspiring to see her in action, making people laugh and still staying down-to-earth.”

“Rough Night” follows the journey of five women coming together a decade after their college graduation. Their plan? A wild bachelorette weekend at a Miami beach house that Jess (portrayed by Johansson) and her college friends have rented. However, what was meant to be an unforgettable night takes a shocking turn when the stripper they hired dies. This hilarious roller-coaster ride explores themes of female friendships, with adult humor that appeals to a wide audience. Discover more in Entertainment News.
