Sundance Review: David Wain’s new comedy "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass" is a scattershot, low‑budget spoof of 80s sex comedies that largely fails to deliver a coherent punchline. The film follows small‑town girl Gail (Zoey Deutch) as she chases the Hollywood star Jon Hamm (Jon Hamm) to exact revenge after her fiancé’s infidelity with Jennifer Aniston. Along the way she is joined by friends Otto (Miles Gutierrez‑Riley), an inept agent (Ben Wang), a washed‑out paparazzo (Ken Marino) and a former actor (John Slattery). The plot is riddled with abrupt jokes and a megalomaniac villain (Sabrina Impacciatore), but the result is a chaotic, half‑finished gag‑fest that leaves the audience laughing at a few spots while feeling the rest of the film rushed and unfocused. Critics note that the film’s humor is uneven and its satire of action‑romance tropes is too vague to land. Despite the star‑studded cast and a handful of genuine comic moments, the movie’s aimlessness and lack of a clear target prevent it from becoming a memorable Sundance entry.
