Watch: Anna Kendrick Stars in Wedding Comedy TABLE 19
Here's the first trailer and poster for Table 19, a new wedding comedy starring Anna Kendrick with a story by the Duplass Brothers and writer/director Jeffrey Blitz. (Blitz was the guy who discovered Kendrick back in the day by casting her in his indie film called Rocket Science, and his other credits include the excellent documentary Spellbound and episodes of The Office and Parks and Rec.) This movie looks a little cheesy, but its ensemble cast — which includes Stephen Merchant, Craig Robinson, Lisa Kudrow, June Squibb (Nebraska), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Wyatt Russell (Everybody Wants Some!!), and Amanda Crew (Silicon Valley) — has proven to be super charming in other things, so hopefully they'll all come together to make this a movie worth checking out.
Table 19 hits theaters on January 20, 2017.
Ex-maid of honor Eloise (Anna Kendrick) - having been relieved of her duties after being unceremoniously dumped by the best man via text - decides to hold her head up high and attend her oldest friend's wedding anyway. She finds herself seated at the 'random' table in the back of the ballroom with a disparate group of strangers, most of whom should have known to just send regrets (but not before sending something nice off the registry). As everyone's secrets are revealed, Eloise learns a thing or two from the denizens of Table 19. Friendships - and even a little romance - can happen under the most unlikely circumstances.
