Here’s a little something I came across today in my emails; after premiering at Sundance earlier this year, the fidelity comedy The Freebie is set to come out here in the US on September 17th courtesy of Phase 4 Films. This was one of festival films that I figured had a fifty-fifty shot of actually getting to play outside of the festival circuit so here’s to hoping it was a good choice. Below is the film’s official synopsis and trailer:

“Darren (Dax Shepard) and Annie (Katie Aselton) have an enviable relationship built on love, trust and communication-they still enjoy each other’s company and laugh at each other’s jokes.  Unfortunately, they can’t remember the last time they had sex.  When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with an idea for a way to spice things up.  The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked.  Could a “freebie” be the cure for their ailing sex life?  And will they go through with it?  THE FREEBIE is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships, and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded.  The film was produced by Adele Romanski and executive produced by Aselton and CYRUS director Mark Duplass.”
