Overview
- The film opened in theaters on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, and is a raunchy road‑trip comedy written and directed by Macon Blair.
- Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. lead as two escorts tasked with driving a violent, wealthy teen to rehab, with Mason Thames playing the influencer‑figure Sheridan and Peter Dinklage among the supporting cast.
- Cast and crew interviews say the project grew from a script circulating since 2017, Franco pursued the role for nearly a decade, and production used a single motel lot and built sets there to meet a tight shooting schedule.
- Early reviews praise Franco and Jackson’s performances and Blair’s grimy, low‑brow comic touches but fault the screenplay for thin character development, contrived gags, and a shifting, uneven tone.
- The film’s reliance on mean‑spirited humor and its take on privilege and social‑media culture will likely shape who it connects with and could determine its box office and later streaming audience.
