“There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about ‘The Wizard of Oz.’”
David Lynch once said this during a Q&A at the New York Film Festival. And looking through his filmography, pretty much every single film can be connected back to the 1939 classic, in ways both obvious and subtle.
Well, it seems a different David has been thinking equally as often about “The Wizard of Oz.” But his brain takes us less in the direction of “Mulholland Drive” and more towards “Wet Hot American Summer.”
Filmmaker David Swain (with a co-writing assist from Ken Marino) is back with “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass,” a farcical romp that stretches from Kansas to Oz (AKA, Los Angeles), following our sunny, always-smiling protagonist (Zoey Deutch) on her quest to “find the wizard.” And by that, I mean, her quest to have sex with Jon Hamm (played, winningly, by himself).
Swain’s strengths have always leaned toward the stupider side of satire, and “Gail Daughtry” is no different. With a winning cast who are willing to go for broke to make fun of everything under the sun – whether that be Hollywood or themselves – “Gail Daughtry’s Celebrity Sex Pass” is a silly summer delight.
