A small-town hairdresser’s quest to even the score after her fiancé sleeps with his celebrity pass gets wildly out of hand in Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. The new comedy from David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer, Role Models) stars Zoey Deutch as Gail, whose wedding plans implode when her high school sweetheart follows through on that infamous relationship agreement.
Her solution? Track down Jon Hamm in Los Angeles and claim her own celebrity pass. What starts as an impulsive road trip spirals into a full-blown Hollywood adventure involving a psychic’s advice, a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery, who apparently helps her hunt down Hamm himself.
The film, written by Ken Marino and Wain, features a stacked cast including John Slattery, Marino, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Ben Wang, and Sabrina Impacciatore. Hamm appears as himself, which already feels like the kind of meta comedy Wain fans will eat up.
Gail Daughtry premiered at Sundance earlier this year and heads to Tribeca on June 10 before hitting theaters July 10 via Sony Pictures Classics. A teaser dropped this week, and judging by the premise alone, this one’s leaning into the absurd in the best way. For indie comedy lovers, Wain’s return to rom-com chaos feels overdue.
