Jada Pinkett Smith Encourages Her Daughter to Sneak Into 'Girls Trip'

Buckle-up! Jada Pinkett-Smithā€™s new summer comedy Girls Trip is going to take you on a wild ride.

The actress stars as Lisa, one of four best friends who travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival. Along the way they rediscover their wild side and do enough dancing, drinking, brawling and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.

ā€œI just think it was time to for women to have the license to cut loose in that way. I mean, really cut loose,ā€ Pinkett Smith told On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Friday. ā€œIt started with Bridesmaids a little bit and I just feel like Girls Trip came in and weā€™re just pushing it a little further.ā€

ā€œI think we enjoy these movies. They tend to do well. I just felt like this summer could use a movie like this,ā€ she says. ā€œI just think everybody has to be ready. I mean, society has to be ready. Women have to be ready to see themselves like this and men have to be ready.ā€

So what will guys take away from the raunchy female-driven comedy? Pinkett Smith says, "Boyfriends and husbands will be like ā€˜you will not be going on girls trips alone anymore. I mean, I can chill in the hotel room, but I will be there.'"

This movie has definitely earned it's hard R rating and Pinkett Smith will not let her 16-year-old daughter see the the film, but she did encourage her to do this: "I told Willow sheā€™s going to have to go old school with this and kind of do what I did when I was her age and wanted to see inappropriate material at the movies, and thatā€™s sneak in with my girlfriends."

Girls Trip, which is directed by Malcolm D. Lee (The Best Man, Undercover Brother, Roll Bounce) also stars Queen Latifah, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish, is in theaters today (July 21).
