Take a look at this new trailer for upcoming comedy – though based on a true story, Queenpins, led by Kristen Bell. Kirby Howell – Baptiste, Paul Walter Hauser, Joel McHale, Bebe Rexha and Vince Vaughn are also amongst the cast of the movie which comes to the screen from STX, who brought us Bad Moms and Hustlers. That should give you some idea one what you’re in for with this.
The movie revolves around the trie story of a couple of friends who land themselves in hot water following getting involved in a multi-million dollar counterfeit food coupon racket. This sounds right up our street, to be honest.
The synopsis is as follows:
Inspired by a true story, QUEENPINS is an outrageous comedy about a bored and frustrated suburban homemaker, Connie (Kristen Bell) and her best pal JoJo (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), a vlogger with dreams, who turn a hobby into a multi-million dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatch an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers. On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer (Paul Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. Postal Inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of these newly-minted “Queenpins” of pink collar crime.
Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly wrote the screenplay and are directing. The film comes out in cinemas in September with a Paramount+ debut promised for after stateside.
