ShockYa: If you’re seeking a top-notch cast, look no further than here. Director Stuart Zicherman hit the jackpot with his first feature film, enlisting a monstrously talented and very funny ensemble for his comedy about A.C.O.D. (Adult Children of Divorce). There is not one weak link in this particular chain, a marvelously hilarious film about the impacts of divorce, which includes one very large family, with Carter (Adam Scott) as the center of the pack. This is a film that works on all levels, a winning comedy with a dramatic heart.
WGTC writes: While divorce may not be something typically associated with comedy, that didn’t stop writer/director Stu Zicherman from creating the movie A.C.O.D., detailing the after effects of divorce on a grown man – played by none other than Adam Scott. Together, these two brought laughs into the life of a man who years later discovers his childhood “therapist” was only using him for research, writing a book that predicted his future outcome. Scott’s character brags how he’d defied every one of the author’s predictions, becoming independent and successful, but starts to realize that might only be on the outside.
DeadLine:
Amy Poehler is in final negotiations to join the Black Bear Pictures comedy A.C.O.D. She will star in the film alongside her Parks and Recreation co-star Adam Scott. Directed by Stu Zicherman, the comedy focuses on a young man (Scott) who discovers that he was enlisted in a study about divorced children many years ago. When he’s ushered into a present-day follow-up study, it creates new havoc for his family. Script was written by Zicherman and Ben Karlin. Poehler will play Richard Jenkins’ new wife, who is enemies with his first wife (played by Catherine O’Hara).
She is so cute and funny. I don't usually see her in much but when I do I enjoy watching her.
Deadline:
Mary Elizabeth Winstead joins previously announced cast members Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins and Jane Lynch in the comedy directed by Stuart Zicherman based on a script from Zicherman and Ben Karlin. Teddy Schwarzman is producing and fully financing A.C.O.D. via his company Black Bear Pictures. Winstead will play Lauren Stinger, a long-time girlfriend of Carter (Scott) and the rock in his increasingly chaotic life.
This is the first I've heard of this film and so I'll have to see what it developes into before I decide if I'm even interested.
Why is this even news? I doubt a lot of people care about her or the movie so far.
