After finding success at this year's Sundance Film Festival, new comedy Brittany Runs A Marathon is now headed to cinemas on both sides of the pond. The latest trailer for the movie, which stars Jillian Bell, has arrived.
New Yorker Brittany Forgler (Bell) is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy.
Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine (Michaela Watkins) pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.
With Alice Lee, Mikey Day, Lil Rel Howery and Utkarsh Ambudkar in the cast, the film comes from playwright-turned-director Paul Downs Colaizzo and will be out in the States on 23 August before hitting the UK on 1 November.
