When her fiancé uses their "celebrity pass" agreement, Midwest bride Gail Daughtry travels to Hollywood seeking revenge by pursuing her own celebrity encounter. (R, 93 min.)
(TBD)
Small town hairdresser Gail Daughtry is engaged to her devoted high school sweetheart, Tom. Her life takes a turn when a trip to a book signing leads to Tom meeting – and sleeping – with his “celebrity pass”. Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto on a trip to Los Angeles, where a psychic convinces Gail that the only way to save her marriage is to “even the scales” with her own celebrity pass: Jon Hamm. Thus begins an epic journey through Tinseltown as Gail and Otto join forces with a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery, all in the search for Hamm. Along the way, they collide with celebrities and are hunted by a group of Italian assassins as they get ever closer to finding the elusive star. [Sony Picture Classics]

Genre: Comedy
"Riotously funny, a bit raunchy and loaded with star cameos."
— Peter Howell, Toronto Star
"A hilarious Hollywood farce in their signature absurdist voice."
— Kent M. Wilhelm, The Film Stage
"A firm commitment to silliness and dirty jokes is comedy gold."
— Fred Topel, United Press International
"The silliness becomes infectious, and you can’t help but enjoy the ride."
— Serena Seghedoni, Loud and Clear
"25 years after "Wet Hot American Summer" premiered at Sundance, it's a relief to know that Wain and Marino are still at the absolute top of their game."
— Christian Zilko, IndieWire
"Jokes about Los Angeles and the cult of celebrity fly fast and free and fun cameos abound; look out for many of Wain's frequent collaborators."
— Aisha Harris, NPR
"For those showing up hoping to laugh, it’s hard to imagine being disappointed by this outing aside from realizing we so rarely get films quite like this theatrically released anymore."
— Alex Papaioannou, InSession Film
"Gloriously stupid in the best possible way – a big, broad, unapologetically silly comedy powered by an excellent ensemble cast, a game-for-anything [Zoey] Deutch and a scene-stealing [John] Slattery."
— Peter Gray, The AU Review
"Packed with memorable cameos, absurd detours, and a terrific lead performance from Zoey Deutch, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass turns a ludicrous premise into an unexpectedly heartfelt adventure."
— David Gonzalez, The Cinematic Reel
"To dub 'Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass' dumb fun is an honest-to-gosh compliment ... Wain and Marino concoct a comedic formula that harkens back to spoofy 1980s riots hinged on acceptable stupidity."
— Matt Donato, TheWrap
