David Wain has brought us comedy classics like Wet Hot American Summer and They Came Together. The latter is one of my all-time favourite films, so I was absolutely buzzing to see that his newest film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, is getting a UK cinema release.

David Wain’s films are known for being quite loose, completely absurd and full of ridiculous gags and one-liners. They’re consistently funny, and Gail Daughtry is no different. I don’t think I have loudly laughed as much as I did in a cinema in a long time.

The story follows Gail (Zoe Deutch), who must use her celebrity sex pass on her crush, Jon Hamm, to save her relationship and marriage after her husband uses his on Jennifer Aniston. She travels to Los Angeles, where she meets characters who help her reach Hamm and have her wish granted, while also stopping a domestic terrorist along the way.

It took me far too long to realise that the film shares its narrative with The Wizard of Oz, with each character representing someone Dorothy meets on her journey and Oz replaced with LA. It’s a fun jumping-off point and keeps the film moving along, but it isn’t as narratively strong as his previous films.

The jokes come thick and fast. Wain’s style is to fire as many jokes at you as possible, and while you think this can be quite exhausting, it never really feels like this. Jokes range from ridiculous miscommunications and puns to satirical comedy about the modern world and just straight-up people doing silly things.

Deutch does a good job leading the film. She is pitch-perfect for the film, delivering the best wide-eyed ‘we’re not in Kansas anymore’ vibe. She’s joined by an ensemble that includes John Slattery, Ben Wang, Joe Lo Truglio and an incredible villain turn from Sabrina Impacciatore.

Gail Daughtry isn’t my favourite Wain film, but it is up there. It doesn’t match They Came Together’s tighter comedy-parody premise, yet it still delivers plenty of laughs through a great ensemble, so it is worth your time if you’re a comedy fan.
