Tiffany Haddish Movies: Her 7 Best Roles

Tiffany Haddish's career has taken Hollywood by storm, boasting two Emmy and Grammy awards to her name. Her immense potential was recognized with a role on the sitcom The Carmichael Show, followed by memorable guest-starring roles in several TV series. In 2017, her Saturday Night Live appearance earned her a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. That same year, she published her memoir, The Last Black Unicorn.




In 2021, she became one step closer to becoming an EGOT winner, having won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album for Black Mitzvah. Furthermore, she recently starred as the hilarious lead detective in Apple TV+'s The Afterparty. Additionally, she's set to reprise her role in the highly anticipated sequel Girls Trip 2. With such an impressive body of work, let's take a look at some of the best Tiffany Haddish Movies.

7. Bad Trip (2021)

Two comrades, Chris Carey (Eric André), and Bud Malone (Lil Rel Howery), in a rut, decide to go on an extraordinary cross-country road trip to NYC. The storyline features shocking pranks with Haddish starring as the law-breaking sister of Bud Malone, Trina. She brings tremendous forcefulness to her role, providing a contrast to André's slapstick comedy. Bad Trip was inadvertently leaked on Amazon Prime Video in 2020 yet later sold to Netflix. 

6. Night School (2018)

Kevin Hart stars as Teddy, a high school dropout attempting to earn his GED in a night school class run by the strict but inspiring teacher, Carrie (Tiffany Haddish). Her teaching methods are extraordinary; often takes her students to a mixed martial arts gym with the aim of answering English, math, history, and science questions swiftly and accurately or else suffering the consequences. Night School is an amusing movie that effectively captures the hilarious chemistry between Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish.

5. Uncle Drew (2018)

Uncle Drew, the 2018 sports comedy, stars Kyrie Irving, Lil Rel Howery, and Shaquille O'Neal, among other notables. It follows an elderly basketball fan's desire to become victorious at Harlem's Rucker Classic streetball tournament. Tiffany Haddish, with comedic energy exuberant enough to energize a city, plays Jess, the ex-girlfriend of Dax, a streetball team manager. However, her character remains, ultimately, a been-there-done-that prize.

4. The Oath (2018)

Chris, played by Ike Barinholtz, and Kai, played by Tiffany Haddish, understand there are tax benefits to declining to sign an American loyalty oath. As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, the duo aims to survive not only the festivities but also the looming deadline of Black Friday. However, before they know it, agents come knocking at their door and the situation quickly spirals out of control - they must innovate ways to remain out of jail while protecting their families. 




The movie was met with stark opinions from critics, albeit Haddish's performance gained unanimous acclaim. In an interview with Collider, Barinholtz recounted positively his experience working together. "The moments where she pulled something out that was so crazy and funny... they were a delight," Barinholtz said.

3. The Card Counter (2021)

William Tell, a former military interrogator who transitioned to gambling, is the protagonist of Paul Schrader's The Card Counter. Exuding his distinct cinematic intensity, the revenge drama follows Tell's pursuit of redemption. Executive-produced by Martin Scorsese, the feature also stars Oscar Isaac in the lead, and Willem Dafoe in a key role. The multi-talented Tiffany Haddish appears in a powerful supporting performance. The latter received considerable acclaim and recognition for the project.

2. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

Six years after everything was awesome, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part arrived. Invading Duplo aliens from outer space threatened the citizens, causing destruction too quickly to be repaired. Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell, and others reprised their roles, while Tiffany Haddish lent her voice as Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi. Reviews were mostly positive; however, the film didn't bring in the expected box office numbers. Consequently, Warner Bros. sold the rights to The Lego Movie franchise to Universal Pictures.

1. Girls Trip (2017)

Four old friends gathered in New Orleans for the Essence Festival and embraced life's joys. Revelry was rampant - from carousing to quarreling and everything in between. Girls Trip, released in 2017, starred Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, and an electric Tiffany Haddish. The script was written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, based on their own adventures with their girl gang. Critics praised the cast and originality of the picture. It even became the first film produced, written by, directed, and starring African Americans to pass the $100 million box office milestone. Notable awards and nominations ensued, including Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture at the 49th NAACP Image Awards due to Haddish's masterful performance. Needless to say, this stands as one of the best Tiffany Haddish movies of all time.
