TL;DR

Spa Weekend, from writers-turned-directors Lucas and Moore, tries a female Hangover-style riff about four women on a luxe spa weekend, but it leans into sentimentality and gloss instead of jokes. Despite a strong cast (Leslie Mann, Anna Faris, Michelle Buteau, Isla Fisher), the film plays it safe and ends up bland rather than funny, delivering a glossy but dull comedy. Release dates: August 20 (Australia) and August 21 (UK/US).
