MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Sophie Brooks
Cast: Molly Gordon, Logan Lerman, Geraldine Viswanathan, ...
Anyone familiar with "Misery" will recognize the connective tissue, but Brooks does not want the movie to stray close to horror territory and therefore avoids taking chances.
