Blackfilm.com has learned that TV One will air it original movie, Girlfriends’ Getaway 2 On August 29. The film had its World Premiere at the 2015 American Black Film Festival in New York City.
Executive produced and directed by Roger Bobb, the sequel brings back the original cast Garcelle Beauvais (The Jamie Foxx Show), Terri J. Vaughn (The Steve Harvey Show), Malinda Willams (Soul Food) and Essence Atkins (Haunted House).
In the first film, the story centered on four friends (Vicky, Sophie, Lauren and Camille) who take a trip to the Caribbean to celebrate two of their friends’ birthdays. One thing leads to another and they get into a bit of trouble.
Beauvais stars as Vicki, a 40-something successful real-estate agent who is one week away from marrying her handsome, yet conservative high school teacher fiancé, Garrett (Stephen Bishop). The low-key wedding turns into a disaster as best friend Camille, a freelance blogger played by Williams, loses sight of the true meaning of marriage and encourages her to kick-it up a notch for a four-page magazine spread.
Joined by Camille and fellow best friends Sophie (Vaughn) and Lauren (Atkins) five days before her wedding, Vicki’s intimate affair goes off-the-rails with the support of wedding coordinator Marie Nunez (Xiona R. Nieves-Vargas) as she upgrades everything without consulting her fiancé. But the problems in Puerto Rico aren’t just Vicki’s, as Sophie, a fiery second-time mom, is on a mission to shed the baby weight, and manage her marriage to Kyle (Khalil Kain). And Lauren (Atkins), a Zen-loving, free-spirited yogi attempts celibacy after a year-long self-realization journey, but finds it difficult when she meets Antonio (Eli Cay).
With Angi Bones serving as Producer, the film was written by Cas Sigers-Beedles, and is a co-production between Bobbcat Films.
