Sony Pictures Classics has acquired a handful of movies from Sundance<\/a> this year, and Deadline<\/a> reports that they\u2019re adding to their collection with Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, a comedy directed by David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer).<\/p>\n

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass<\/p>\n

Gail Daughtry (Zoey Deutch) and her fianc\u00e9 have agreed (in theory) on a celebrity sex pass, where each of them gets a hall pass with the celebrity of their choice. But when her husband actually sleeps with his celebrity, Gail takes off to Los Angeles with only one goal in mind\u2014to have sex with Jon Hamm.<\/p>\n

In addition to Deutch (Nouvelle Vague), the film also stars Ken Marino (The Residence), Miles Gutierrez-Riley (Smile 2), Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus). And, it features Jon Hamm and John Slattery as themselves.<\/p>\n

Statements, Baby!<\/p>\n

Wain said, \u201cI think we\u2019re all hungry to have more movies in theaters that are designed to provide laughter and joy, first and foremost \u2014 and I can\u2019t wait for audiences to experience this very first chapter in the GDU (Gail Daughtry Universe)!\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have our film embraced by Sony Pictures Classics, a company that has championed visionary filmmakers for decades, is incredibly special. I am deeply grateful for their passion and support and excited to work together on this,\u201d added producer Crystine Zhang.<\/p>\n

\u201cGail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is the most hilarious comedy we have seen in ages with one of the most incredible and surprising indie casts any film could ask for. In a time when audiences need to smile, David Wain has delivered an entertainment that will have audiences\u2019 cheeks hurting from all their laughs,\u201d said Sony Pictures Classics.<\/p>\n

What Did We Think?<\/p>\n

Our own Chris Bumbray caught the film at Sundance and had a good time. \u201cWhile\u00a0Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass\u00a0isn\u2019t able to keep its momentum going throughout the entire film, more often than not, it\u2019s hilarious, and even at the notoriously fickle Sundance press screenings, the journalists I saw this with all laughed consistently,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIn an era where we lack comedies, the fact that this movie actually makes you chuckle is enough to merit an enthusiastic recommendation from me\u2014and Deutch is a delight.\u201d You can read the rest of his review right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
