Queenpins — Official Trailer

added: Thu, Jul 8th '21

The Good Place's Kristen Bell and Cruella's Kirby Howell-Baptiste create a multi-million dollar counterfeit coupon scam in the new offbeat crime comedy "Queenpins," for which an official trailer has been released.

The film is inspired by the stranger-than-fiction true story about how a bored suburban homemaker (Bell) and a frustrated money-saving vlogger (Howell-Baptiste) became the target of a criminal investigation by two unlikely government officers (played here by Paul Walter Hauser and Vince Vaughn) after kicking off a multi-million dollar counterfeiting ring involving fraudulent retail-store coupons.

The cast of the film also includes Joel McHale as Bell's unwitting husband and pop star Bebe Rexha as an underground cybercriminal.

The crime comedy is written and directed by husband and wife team Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly. They previously made 2013's small-town drug-smuggling drama "Beneath the Harvest Sky."

"Queenpins" is scheduled to open in theaters on September 10th. It will also stream exclusively on Paramount Plus at a later date.

synopsis:
Inspired by a true story, QUEENPINS is an outrageous comedy about a bored and frustrated suburban homemaker, Connie (Kristen Bell) and her best pal JoJo (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), a vlogger with dreams, who turn a hobby into a multi-million dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale, and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatch an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers. On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer (Paul Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. Postal Inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of these newly-minted "Queenpins" of pink collar crime.
