Jada Pinkett Smith says she hasn't warned her family about what to expect from her new raunchy comedy Girls Trip.

She stars in the film alongside Queen Latifah, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish. The movie, which is rated 15 over here in the UK and R in the US, has already had a massive box office weekend in the States, opening second only to Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

The movie follows four college friends on a raucous weekend away. Just imagine The Hangover, but with casino heists and a lot more Mariah Carey!

Speaking of the film's success in the US (it took $31.2 million in its opening weekend), Jada said "Girls Trip definitely shows that women are funny too.

"You have some female comedies that work, and some that don't. You don't stop making comedies with men that don't work, you just say on to the next.

"As women we're always having to show and prove ourselves over and over again. We're just going to keep doing it until we don't have to any more!"

Jada, who is married to actor Will Smith, has two children - Willow, 16 and Jaden, 19. Her character Lisa has her fair share of raunchy and gross-out moments in the film, and she admitted that there will definitely be a few parts her kids are not going to want to see.

"As a son, there are probably some things you don't want to see your mother doing," Jada admitted.

But she added, "my kids know everything about me; and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING!

"There's nothing I could do and my kids would be utterly surprised."
