added: Tue, Jan 17th '17

"Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk is looking to get his mojo back in the debut trailer for the upcoming Netflix movie "Girlfriend's Day."

Directed by cult documentary filmmaker Michael Paul Stephenson, of "Best Worst Movie" and "The American Scream" fame, "Girlfriend's Day" is a deadpan comedy about a once-celebrated romance card writer named Ray Wentworth (played by Odenkirk; who also co-wrote the script and serves as a producer), who, after the death of his wife, has spiraled down a deep hole of depression and bum fight videos.

When state officials announce a new holiday for girlfriends, Ray is drawn back into the world of card writing. He soon discovers the competition is more cutthroat than ever before as fellow associates are mysteriously turning up dead.

Co-starring Amber Tamblyn, Andy Richter, Stacy Keach, Steven Michael Quezada, Derek Waters, Alex Karpovsky, Rich Sommer, David Sullivan, and Toby Huss, the film is slated to debut on Netflix beginning Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day.

synopsis:
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Write a card too clever, And someone might kill you!

Ever wonder who penned the perfect words to the Mother's Day card you sent last year? Or the hilarious birthday card you gave your best friend? A master of words, that's who.

In the Netflix original film, Girlfriend's Day, director Michael Paul Stephenson (The American Scream) invites you to experience a clever and quirky story about love, loss and the worst place to get a paper cut. Meet Ray Wentworth (Bob Odenkirk), once a king of the wordsmith world, and now a down-on-his-luck romance card writer. In an effort to recapture the feelings that once made him the greatest, he gets entangled in a web of murder and deceit as writers vie to create the perfect card for a newly crowned holiday: Girlfriend’s Day.
