A reporter's dream of becoming a news anchor is compromised after a one-night stand
leaves her stranded in downtown L.A. without a phone, car, ID or money - and only 8
hours to make it to the most important job interview of her life.
Director:
Steven Brill
Stars:
Elizabeth Banks, Tig Notaro, James Marsden, Gillian Jacobs
Elizabeth Banks lands her first starring role in what should be a huge year for one
of our favorite actresses; she of course will reappear as the uniquely styled Effie
Trinket in next month's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013). And while we like
the sound of this premise, we can't help but wonder what it would have been like if
a woman had been allowed to write the screenplay - and/or direct the project
outright. The industry keeps talking about the Bridesmaids effect, but here the
decision-makers went with the guy who directed a couple Adam Sandler movies.
