A road-trip comedy that runs its horny premise into the ground, David Wain's latest delivers consistent laughs at the cost of any moral coherence whatsoever. Zoey Deutch commits fully as Gail, a Kansas hairdresser whose journey to Los Angeles to sleep with Jon Hamm becomes a vortex of briefcase mix-ups, hairdresser-convention shootouts, and celebrity cameos that range from inspired (John Slattery as a self-defense-obsessed version of himself) to puzzling (Weird Al brandishing a firearm). The film is funny. It is also a 94-minute advertisement for treating infidelity as self-discovery, and anyone watching with ideological antennae up will have them snapping within the first five minutes.
