Kristen Stewart’s wife movie
Kristen Stewart married Dylan Meyer in 2025, but now they’re REALLY committed, because they made a whole movie together and they DIDN’T break up. The “couples who make a movie together and then break up” pipeline is real. (Sh-t, I hope I didn’t just curse them.)
Anyway, KStew and Dylan Meyer made a movie, a stoner comedy called The Wrong Girls starring KStew and Alia Shawkat and it looks genuinely funny.
The Wrong Girls is co-written by Stewart and Meyer—who is the daughter of filmmaker and writer Anthony Meyer—with Meyer also making her feature directorial debut on the film. (Meyer has previously co-written XOXO and Moxie.) No pressure! Just a wife movie stoner comedy!
But they’re not exactly alone in this endeavor, as The Wrong Girls is produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey shingle. Rogen also voices one of the cats in the movie, along with Kumail Nanjiani (RIP Bagel iykyk). The film also co-stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tony Hale, Kate McKinnon, and Geena Davis. It’s a great looking trailer, and the film is due in August, the perfect time for a stoner comedy. There is also a nice touch of kismet, at KStew and Meyer first met on another stoner comedy, American Ultra, back in 2013. At the time, Meyer was dating Max Landis, so marrying Kristen Stewart is a MASSIVE UPGRADE. It’s such an upgrade, it’s like she moved to another galaxy.
But The Wrong Girls isn’t the only stoner comedy coming to theaters in August. Macon Blair, frequent collaborator of Jeremy Saulnier and director of I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore (great Melanie Lynskey performance, on Netflix) has a new film, Idiots. It stars Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. as drivers taking a troubled teen, played by Mason Thames, to a rehab center. The film also stars Kiernan Shipka, Peter Dinklage, and Nicholas Braun.
Basically, all the cool kids are in their stoner movie era this summer, and we’re getting a couple of good-looking comedies out of it. Comedies like these used to fill in the gaps of summer movie season, now they’re few and far between and some dumb executives have once again doomed us by slating them within a couple of weeks of each other in August, but other than the continuing death spiral of theatrical release planning, The Wrong Girls and Idiots look like the kind of low-stakes, mid-budget comedies we’ve sorely been missing these past many years.
