"I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again — I read the script and thought it was the funniest thing I’ve ever read. And I feel really lucky that I got to work with all of these guys and these two collaborators [Wain and Marino] and Jon Hamm."
I’m a huge fan of Jon. I think he’s just an incredible actor, and I had so much fun working with him. I don’t know how he feels about working with me…
"[Hamm] didn’t tell me anything about it. He told me David Wain was looking to send me a script. I was in Budapest. It was the middle of the night and I was jet-lagged. They sent it and I read it right then and texted them both and said I was in. It was fantastic. It’s hilarious. I got to play myself, sort of."
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass
the story of a naive young hairdresser who travels to Hollywood hoping to sleep with Jon Hamm....
Marino and Wain have been friends with Hamm for years. He did a cameo in their 2007 film “The Ten,” and appeared on their show “Children’s Hospital” and their “Wet Hot American Summer” streaming series. Still, the men worried about Hamm’s reaction when they sent him the script.
“It was definitely a scary thing to share this story that’s basically all about him,” says Wain. “He could have easily been like, ‘No, I’m not cool with this.’ And the same with Slattery. But luckily we sent it to Slattery first and he called up Jon, and was like, ‘We’ve got to do this together!'”
reviews
Deutch’s performance is likably cheery. The film fires off jokes at a rapid clip, but its aim is poor, and as the mirthless one-liners accumulate, it begins to resemble a collection of sketchy incidents in need of additional rewrites.....
More frustrating, by making Hamm the story’s obvious destination, his eventual appearance is too predictable to be amusing......
.... a film without a single serious moment, driven by the sole purpose of making us laugh.
It succeeds in fits and starts – I laughed more than I have at many a comedy in the past year – but its wild, scattershot humour is so hit and miss, too many jokes going nowhere, that it’s not quite the rousing win I wanted it to be........ looks like it was shot with the budget of a mid-awards show sketch, means that there are so many lines or often extended sequences that feel a few drafts away from something far funnier.
“Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” is a flagrant concoction that wants to do nothing more than make you laugh, and at that it succeeds......When Gail finally does hook up with Jon Hamm, he’s the man behind the curtain — a doofy dreamboat who’s only pretending to be Jon Hamm. The whole movie is pretending to be something it’s not. It’s a smartened up homage to dumbing down.
The film overflows with celebrity cameos of both the explainable and absurd variety, but it’s all in service of a greater vision.
All of them are funny, but nobody tops John Slattery, who gives a hysterically self-deprecating performance as a fictional version of his post-“Mad Men” self...
The plot takes quite a few wild digressions on our heroes’ way to meeting Hamm (who also gives an excellent performance as himself).
.... Wain and Marino are still at the absolute top of their game.
Slattery shows some real comic chops here and still has great chemistry with Hamm, who (of course) eventually shows up as the movie’s equivalent to the Wizard—although instead of a trip home, he’s offering Zoey a night of carnal bliss. Hamm has always had a knack for comedy and mocking himself, with the movie’s Hamm being insecure and not too bright as he holes up in the Chateau Marmont.
While Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass isn’t able to keep its momentum going throughout the entire film, more often than not it’s hilarious,...... the fact that this movie actually makes you chuckle is enough to merit an enthusiastic recommendation from me—and Deutch is a delight.
.... Hamm and Slattery have fun sending themselves up and a long line of other familiar faces, including Henry Winkler, Weird Al Jankovic and Richard Kind, show up for a punchline or two – but there’s a nagging suspicion that they are having more fun than the audience.
The quality to quantity ratio of the jokes is lower than it ought to be....
Jon Hamm to host NFL Honors on February 5th.
