Small town hairdresser Gail Daughtry is engaged to her devoted high school sweetheart, Tom. Her life takes a turn when a trip to a book signing leads to Tom meeting -- and sleeping -- with his "celebrity pass". Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto on a trip to Los Angeles, where a psychic convinces Gail that the only way to save her marriage is to "even the scales" with her own celebrity pass: Jon Hamm. Thus begins an epic journey through Tinseltown as Gail and Otto join forces with a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery, all in the search for Hamm. Along the way, they collide with celebrities and are hunted by a group of Italian assassins as they get ever closer to finding the elusive star.

2.5/4
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is basically a steady stream of gags and utter ridiculousness, and in that regard, it mostly throws softballs. Go to Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star Jun 26
Tinseltown isn’t shocked by her quest -- L.A. has seen weirder things -- but that doesn’t mean the trek is going to be easy. It is, however, riotously funny, a bit raunchy and loaded with star cameos. Go to Full Review Aisha Harris NPR Feb 12
Jokes about Los Angeles and the cult of celebrity fly fast and free and fun cameos abound; look out for many of Wain's frequent collaborators. Go to Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird 2h
(it) runs with slapdash humor styles and various in-jokes for a comedy in the tradition of Airplane!, often hit-and-miss and generally cruder. Go to Full Review Matt Goldberg Commentary Track (Ghost.io) 4h
4/5
For those who appreciate Wain's comic sensibilities, 'Gail Daughtry' is another delightfully weird winner. Go to Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media 6h
3/5
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass won’t necessarily convert people to Wain’s sensibilities, but it’s an endearing comedy about the never-ending battle to realize your dreams. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
