A new comedy titled Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is scheduled to open on the weekend following this report. The film follows a small‑town Kansas woman who discovers her fiancé with another woman and, in a twist, decides to have a final fling with Jon Hamm before she marries.
Cast and crew
Zoey Deutch has been cast as the titular Gail. John Slattery, noted for his former role in the television series Mad Men, also appears in the film. Ken Marino plays a disgraced paparazzo and, alongside David Wain, co‑wrote the screenplay. Marino and Wain have been collaborating for approximately twenty‑five years, and Wain directs the picture.
Style and influences
The storyline has been described as a demented takeoff on The Wizard of Oz. Early Marx Brothers movies and the 1980 film Airplane! are cited as examples of sustained silliness that inform the film’s comedic tone. The 2021 comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, which starred Kristen Wiig and was released during the COVID‑19 pandemic, is also mentioned as a recent point of reference for the genre.
With its unconventional premise and a cast that blends emerging talent with established actors, the film aims to deliver a fresh, absurdist comedy experience for audiences when it reaches cinemas next weekend.
