‘Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass’ Teaser: Zoey Deutch Targets Jon Hamm in Wild David Wain Comedy

Zoey Deutch goes on a chaotic, star-studded mission to rewrite a broken engagement by sleeping with Jon Hamm.

David Wain is back in familiar territory — absurd romance, celebrity chaos, and a premise that escalates from “awkward” to “completely unhinged” in record time. The first teaser for Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass sets the tone immediately: this is not a grounded rom-com, it’s a fever dream about love, revenge, and the dangerous logic of celebrity hall passes.

Zoey Deutch stars as Gail, a small-town hairdresser whose life unravels when she discovers her fiancé has already acted on his own “celebrity sex pass.” What begins as a personal betrayal quickly mutates into a mission-driven spiral — Gail decides the only way to repair her relationship is to fulfill the fantasy rulebook on her own terms. Her target: Jon Hamm, playing an exaggerated version of Hollywood charm that becomes both aspiration and obstacle.

The teaser leans fully into Wain’s signature tone — half sincerity, half chaos — as Gail is guided by a fortune teller who somehow already understands the emotional math of her situation better than she does. From there, the film positions itself less as a romantic comedy and more as a satire of desire itself: what people say they want, what they actually mean, and what happens when those two things collide in public.

Premiering at Sundance to strong reactions, the film marks Wain’s return to feature directing after a stretch away from the format, and continues his long-running collaboration with Ken Marino, who also co-wrote the script. Early descriptions point to a film loaded with celebrity cameos, running the spectrum from obvious punchlines to completely unexpected appearances, all filtered through Wain’s exaggerated L.A. lens.

The supporting cast includes Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Ben Wang, Joe Lo Truglio, and Sabrina Impacciatore, with John Slattery delivering a standout self-aware performance as a fictionalized version of himself, reportedly spending much of the film in various states of physical misfortune.

It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s deliberately unserious about the mechanics of celebrity culture — which is exactly the point. If the teaser is any indication, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is less about who sleeps with who, and more about how quickly fantasy collapses once it’s taken literally.

The film opens in theaters July 10, 2026.
