Trailer For Incredibly Sad Comedy JOSHY with Thomas Middleditch and Nick Kroll
Joshy is probably one of the saddest dark comedies that I’ve ever seen. The story starts out very very dark and then lightens up a bit, but it’s still sprinkled with darkness throughout the movie. I thought the movie was really well made and it had a solid cast that includes Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) as Josh, and he's joined by Nick Kroll, Alex Ross Perry, Brett Gelman, Alison Brie, Adam Pally, Jake Johnson, and Aubrey Plaza. I thought Kroll was hilarious and easily the best part of the movie.
After his engagement suddenly ends, Joshy and a few his friends decide to take advantage of what was supposed to be his bachelor party in Ojai, California. In their attempt to help Joshy deal with the recent turn of events, the guys turn the getaway into a raucous weekend filled with drugs, booze, debauchery, and hot tubs.

Joshy was written and directed by Jeff Baena (Life After Beth) and it will be released by Lionsgate Premiere in theaters and On Demand August 12th.
