This trailer had me in stitches. I happen to love Napoleon Dynamite and found Nacho Libre at least somewhat amusing, so naturally I’m drawn to this quirky comedy. Here’s the synopsis:

Benjamin (Michael Angarano), home-schooled by his eccentric mother (Jennifer Coolidge), is a loveable loner whose passion for writing leads him on an offbeat and hilarious journey as his story first gets ripped off by the legendary fantasy novelist, Ronald Chevalier (Jemaine Clement) and then is adapted into a disastrous movie by the small towns most prolific homespun filmmaker.

Even the synopsis makes me laugh out loud! And for some strange reason, every time I see Jennifer Coolidge, I just want to burst into giggles. She’s a hoot in her scene-stealing gig in Legally Blonde. Michael Angarano has been called one of the most underrated young stars, and the guy who plays the novelist looks hysterical! I’ve never seen that guy before but he sure grabs my attention. His name is Jemaine Clement, apparently he’s half of the New Zealand ‘folk comedy’ duo Flight of the Conchords. Add brilliant Sam Rockwell as the novel’s fictitious character Bronco, and this could be worth checking out at least on DVD. It’s released in theaters October 30th.
