Charming Trailer for Amazon's TROOP ZERO Movie Starring Mckenna Grace and Viola Davis
We have a wonderfully fun trailer for you to check out from the film Troop Zero, starring Mckenna Grace (Gifted), Viola Davis (The Help), Allison Janney (Mom), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones), comedian Jim Gaffigan, Mike Epps (The Hangover), Charlie Shotwell (All the Money in the World), Ashley Brooke, Maureen Brennan, and Johanna Colón.
This movie looks so charming and hilarious and sweet. The story follows a group of ragtag kids in the 1970s who want to form a girl scout group so its leader can get a shot to contribute something to NASA, a recording part on the Golden Record, as she dreams of life among the stars.
Here’s the synopsis:
In a tiny Georgia town in 1977, a motherless girl dreams of life beyond the confines of her trailer-park home in Troop Zero. When her quest for connection leads her to reach for the stars in a competition to be included on NASA’s landmark Golden Record, it becomes clear she will have to depend on some new friends to take her the last mile.
Every night, Christmas Flint (Mckenna Grace) sits under a starry sky with a flashlight, signaling to extraterrestrial visitors that never arrive. Sensitive, imaginative and deeply lonely, Christmas and her equally eccentric best friend Joseph are the ultimate misfits in their rural hometown of Wiggly, Georgia. When Christmas learns that the winners of the annual Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest will be included on a recording to be sent into space for posterity, her mission in life becomes to join the Scouts and win Jamboree.
When she is blackballed by the snobbish local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader Miss Massey (Allison Janney), Christmas rallies a group of elementary-school outliers to start their own chapter. With grudging help from her dad’s irascible office manager, Miss Rayleen (Viola Davis), Christmas and her crew have to bypass every roadblock Miss Massey can find in the fine print of the Birdie bylaws in order to reach the Jamboree and their chance at immortality.
From Christmas’ solitary late-night vigils to a final show-stopping musical performance, Troop Zero is an endearing and magical tale set against a backdrop of beloved hits of the ’70s, as Christmas forges friendships that will change her life and help her find a real family.
