Somewhere between a Wizard of Oz parody and a full-blown celebrity fever dream, this movie commits to being as stupid as its title promises β and never once apologizes for it.
Zoey Deutchβs fiancΓ© sleeps with Jennifer Aniston ten minutes into this movie, sending her on a Wizard of Oz-shaped road trip through Hollywood to track down her own celebrity hall pass, Jon Hamm. David Wain throws every gag imaginable at the screen β a legitimately clairvoyant psychic, Italian assassins, Weird Al with an assault rifle β and enough of them land that it never drags. Deutchβs wide-eyed sincerity carries scenes a lesser lead couldnβt. The back half loses steam once plot mechanics take over from pure gags, but itβs still a blast.
Now playing in theaters. If you miss the era of R-rated studio comedies that just wanted to make you laugh, this is the closest thing youβre getting this year.
