Always a bridesmaid, never the bride. Lionsgate has released the trailer for Scrambled, the directorial debut by Leah McKendrick, who also stars in the comedy. She’s joined in the cast by Ego Nwodim, Andrew Santino, Adam Rodriguez, Laura Cerón, Yvonne Strahovski, and Clancy Brown. The film premiered at SXSW to positive reviews.
Here’s the synopsis: Quintessential eternal bridesmaid Nellie Robinson (Leah McKendrick) constantly finds herself between weddings, baby showers, and bad dates. When she begins to feel like the clock is ticking and is faced with bleak romantic prospects, Nellie decides to freeze her eggs — setting her on an empowering journey to a brave new world where she ultimately discovers “the one” she’s looking for might be herself.
McKendrick is a rising star who is currently attached to write the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel. She’s a fresh voice and we could be hearing from her for a long time to come, so this one might be worth checking out.
Obviously, Lionsgate agrees because they’ve set Scrambled for a theatrical release, and not a streaming one. The film hits theaters on February 2nd 2024.
