‘Women in Trouble’ Gets Distribution

Published by Jeff Leins on July 30, 2009

Screen Media Films has picked up domestic distribution rights for Women in Trouble and plans to release the R-rated comedy on November 13, 2009.

The news broke on Variety last week, but I saved it to spotlight a particularly funny movie.  I had the opportunity to see this film at the South by Southwest Film Festival and it was hilarious.  I was skeptical at first because writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez had also scripted Gothika and Snakes on a Plane, but this is completely different.  While his previous scripts were laughable, this movie is packed with laughs.

An interconnected plot weaves between a cast of female characters, including a porn star (Carla Gugino), two prostitutes (Adrianne Palicki from “Friday Night Lights” and Emmanuelle Chriqui from “Entourage”), a flight attendant (Marley Shelton) and her Mile High fling (Josh Brolin), and a therapist (Sarah Clarke).  Plus a celebrity interviewer cameo for Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  Female audiences will love strong, funny ladies and men can enjoy a little eye candy for themselves.

Don’t just take my word for it.  Variety’s review called it “compulsively watchable.”  The Hollywood Reporter said its copious cleavage and tube-familiar faces will be assets and flashes of wit can’t hurt.  Look for it in November!

Side note:  Chriqui is somehow hotter in person…
