| Culture | The Guardian | THE WRONG GIRLS REVIEW – KRISTEN STEWART FUMBLES THROUGH FORGETTABLE STONER COMEDY | 1 hr ago |
The Guardian has reviewed the stoner comedy *The Wrong Girls*, directed by first‑time filmmaker Dylan Meyer and starring Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat. The review, published under the Culture section, argues that the film is forgettable, with jokes that land with a thud and rely on silly stereotypes.
Meyer’s film attempts a female twist on a genre that has seen a decline in recent years. It follows best friends Molly and Frankie, who live in a macrame‑decorated stoner cave complete with a life‑size Céline Dion cut‑out and a complex bong‑o‑tron. According to the Guardian, the movie’s attempts to reverse the trend of low‑box‑office stoner flicks fail to deliver humor, with the script’s jokes falling flat.
Stoner comedies have become rare in mainstream cinema, with recent successes like *One Of Them Days* (no weed) and Hulu’s *Pizza Movie* doing better as streaming hits than theatrical releases. *The Wrong Girls* is being distributed by Neon, the same company behind the Oscar‑winning *Parasite* and *Anora*.
