LOS ANGELES, July 9 (UPI) -- The comedy Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, in theaters Friday, is an absurd comedy from the creators of The State and Wet Hot American Summer. Zoey Deutch, who plays Gail, said she did not approach Gail's quest as a joke.
Gail is a woman from Willowbrook, Kan., who visits Hollywood to try to sleep with Jon Hamm, the celebrity her husband agreed she could sleep with as a free pass on monogamy.
In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Deutch, 31, said she approached it as sincerely as her recent Netflix romantic-comedy, Voicemails from Isabelle, which she filmed after Gail Daughtry.
"She's on a quest to save the most important thing in her life, her marriage," Deutch said. "Along the way she finds herself. It is a tale as old as time and it's beautiful."
