The charm of a movie like The Wrong Girls is that it’s a stoner comedy with female leads, rather than the dude-heavy films we’re accustomed to. Not only that, but it’s led by Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat, who are not only a higher grade of actor than this genre usually demands, but they’re both incredibly funny, loose, and perfect for this kind of material even if they haven’t had the opportunities to show it off. You can see just how right they are in NEON’s new teaser, announcing the film’s release date of August 14th.
The Wrong Girls is written and directed by Dylan Meyer, the filmmaker behind XOXO, Moxie, and also Stewart’s partner. Joining Stewart and Shawkat in the cast are LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate McKinnon, with Tony Hale and Geena Davis. An incredible ensemble.
The teaser is pretty silly, and shows Stewart and Shawkat, clearly high as Hell, and forgetting what they were supposed to be doing there in the first place, which is the release date announcement. It looks like something Cheech & Chong would love, but also co-star Rogen who has done his share of this kind of thing.
