A fun trailer has been released for the Australian coming-of-age musical The Deb, which marks the directorial debut of actress Rebel Wilson, who also has a role in the film.

The rest of the cast includes Natalie Abbott, Charlotte MacInnes, Stevie Jean, Shane Jacobson, Tara Morice, Julian McMahon, and Hal Cumpston. The screenplay is written by Hannah Reilly, from a story by Reilly and Meg Washington.

The film’s synopsis reads: “High school outcast Taylah Simpkins (Natalie Abbott) is certain the upcoming Debutante Ball, "the Deb," is her one chance to redefine herself & become the popular girl once and for all.

“When her cynical cousin from the city, Maeve is sent to Taylah’s small farm town as punishment, she thinks the ball is a farce and immediately tries to disrupt the status quo.

“In their search for the spotlight, Taylah and Maeve dig deep to find self-acceptance – and a date to the Deb.”

This looks like a fun movie for fans of musicals and teen comedies. Check out the trailer below, and keep an eye out for the US release date. The Deb is set to hit Australian theaters on January 15th.
