In this iteration, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris, and Michelle Buteau\u2014all known for their comedic chops\u2014head to a quiet retreat at a luxury Palm Springs resort. But with the arrival of Isla Fisher, who plays their train wreck of a friend, chaos ensues. The film is wacky but compassionate at its core. \u201cWe\u2019re at a time in our lives when it\u2019s very hard to nurture friendships,\u201d Faris said on The Today Show, and Spa Weekend \u201cwas just a dream job.\u201d All signs point to a wild ride.
