Saturday Night Live’s Taran Killam stars as Justin, whose longtime girlfriend leaves him heartbroken and embarrassed after a public breakup. With the help of his somewhat misguided friends, he enters into the strange world of online dating, where things get weird. When he thinks he’s found Miss Right “offline,” his cyber escapades turn around to bite him. Helmed by Zachary Adler, the film also stars Brooklyn Decker, David Krumholtz, Mark Boone Jr and David Arquette. “The cast we put together was a group of comedic geniuses, so I allowed them the creative freedom to run with it,” Adler said. “The main directorial challenge was to tell the story and serve the script while letting the most hilarious, albeit often impromptu, comedic bits shine through.” Lionsgate Home Entertainment is handling distribution for the film produced by Cole Payne, Roger M. Mayer and Transverse Media, who handled the financing and production. Carnaby International is handling worldwide sales.
