With one trailer already out there for the new Elizabeth Banks comedy Walk Of Shame, it was surely time for the raunchy pic to go the full red band. That time is now, as the latest, swearier promo has arrived.
Banks plays Meghan Miles, an aspiring LA TV news anchor who loses the audition for her dream job. Crushed, the usually sedate, professional woman agrees to go out with her friends for an uncharacteristic night of partying. After an unsatisfying time at a club, she drunkenly meets and goes home with a stranger (James Marsden) and awakens the next morning in his bed to a phone message from her agent telling her the job is hers, if she can make it across town by 5 pm.
Stranded in an unknown area with no purse, no working phone, and no car, she embarks on a series of misadventures as she races to the most important job interview of her life. Can she make it in time while constantly being mistaken for a prostitute? And will she still get the gig when her potential new boss sees her splashed across the TV news headlines during her crazed dash?
It’s a quest film with just a dash of bad behaviour, then, and we have confidence in Banks’ abilities. With Gillian Jacobs, Sarah Wright, Kevin Nealon, Ethan Suplee, Bill Burr and Willie Garson in the cast,** Walk Of Shame **lands in US cinemas on May 2, but there still appears to be no confirmed UK date.
