Red Band Trailer for THE ORANGES Starring Leighton Meester & Hugh Laurie
A red band trailer for Julian Farino’s upcoming holiday rom-com THE ORANGES starring Leighton Meester & Hugh Laurie has been released. I saw the film exactly a year ago at TIFF and thought it was a worthy romantic comedy/drama filled with lots of laughs thanks to a great script and terrific ensemble. Allison Janney, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Alia Shawkat, and Adam Brody co-star.
I wasn’t quite sure why this was labeled a “red band” trailer all the way up until the last ten seconds of it. Now I know why. I’m incredibly happy to be able to revisit this film again when it hits theaters October 5. You can check out my full review here.
David and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff (Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam Brody), which would please both families, it’s her parents’ best friend David who captures Nina’s attention. When the connection between Nina and David becomes undeniable, everyone’s lives are thrown into upheaval.
