Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass: A Review of David Wain's Anarchic Comedy
The article reviews David Wain's new film 'Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass,' which follows Gail (Zoey Deutch) and Tom (Michael Cassidy), former high school sweethearts in Wilbur, Kansas, about to be married. After they discuss celebrity freebie lists, Tom is caught having sex with Jennifer Aniston (playing herself), leading Gail to seek revenge in Los Angeles with her friend Otto. The plot escalates into absurdity involving a Mafia queen bee, misfiring hitmen, and cameos from Jon Hamm and 'Weird' Al Yankovic. The review notes Wain's signature style of deliberate implausibility and anarchic comedy, comparing him favorably to Judd Apatow. While criticizing the film's bland cinematography and broad performances, the reviewer praises its high joke hit rate and Zoey Deutch's performance, concluding it is a welcome return to form for fans of Wain's particular brand of comedy.
