added: Thu, Jun 28th '18

Everybody is having a really crappy day in the trailer for "A Happening Of Monumental Proportions," an ensemble comedy that's marking the directorial debut of actress Judy Greer.

With much of the action taking place in and around an elementary school where faculty members and students are preparing for the school's annual Career Day, which turns out to be the worst day for everyone involved, the film boasts an impressive lineup of actors and comedians, including recent Oscar-winner Allison Janney, Common, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Whitford, Kumail Nanjiani, Marla Sokoloff, Anders Holm, Mary Birdsong, Rob Riggle, John Cho, Nat Faxon, Katie Holmes and "A Wrinkle in Time" star Storm Reid with a special appearance by Keanu Reeves.

Written by Gary Lundy, "A Happening Of Monumental Proportions" is being released on August 24th.

synopsis:
Judy Greer's directorial debut. The all-star cast finds Daniel, an account manager (Common) with a boring job gearing up for Career Day at his lovely daughter's elementary school, while dealing with the fallout of an intra-office romance with his assistant (Jennifer Garner) and his nasty new boss (Bradley Whitford). The boss's unfortunately nerdy son finds himself instantly entranced with Daniel's daughter (Storm Reid), seeking advice from their school's hip shop teacher (John Cho) and depressed music teacher (Anders Holm), without success. The teachers' principal team -- Allison Janney and Rob Riggle -- spend their day trying to hide the school's dead gardener from not only the staff, but also the students and their parents, who experience a Career Day they likely will never forget.
