Magnolia Pictures has released the trailer for SERIOUS MOONLIGHT, via Yahoo, a comedy written by the late cutie scribe Adrienne Shelly (Waitress) who was murdered back in 2006.
This is the directorial debut of Cheryl Hines, so you can definitely tell the mediocrity.
Starring Meg Ryan, by the way… 2 decades ago maybe in When Harry Met Sally, hearing Meg Ryan talk about sex would be hot back then… but now, for some reason, in this trailer, hearing her say ‘looks like I’m about to have a lot of sex’ just makes me wanna curl up in the corner and hide. When did Meg Ryan lose her charm? Where did it all go wrong? When it comes to choosing gigs, she’s like the female Eddie Murphy. Check out the trailer after this jump and what do you think about it…
After she arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway, things don’t go exactly as planned for high-powered Manhattan lawyer Louise (Meg Ryan). First, her husband of 13 years, Ian (Timothy Hutton), tells her that he’s leaving her for a younger woman (Kristen Bell). Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won’t release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that’s when things REALLY start to go wrong. The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian’s impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future.
SERIOUS MOONLIGHT opens December 4th, 2009
