This movie is going to be fun. I’ve been a big fan of Elizabeth Banks for a while now. I think she’s one of the most endearing actresses out there. When she pops up in a movie or a television show it’s almost an instant smile. She just seems like such a pleasant person. I’m happy to see her get a starring role here. She plays a reporter who is on the verge of getting her dream job. She has a big job interview, but the catch is that she’s stranded in downtown LA with no phone, car, ID, or money. She has eight hours to get to the job interview. Yeah, the plot sounds a lot like the movie The Warriors, but I doubt we’ll get any baseball Furies in this one. The ensemble cast they put around Banks is top notch. The cast is made up of James Mardsen, Gillian Jacobs, Ethan Suplee, Sarah Wright, Kevin Nealon, Bill Burr, Willie Garson, Oliver Hudson, Tig Notaro, and a hand full of other awesome people. I’m not expecting the best comedy of the year or anything, but I’m sure this will be a good and entertaining ride. I hope so at least.
