‘Jess Plus None’ Trailer Drops: A Modern Screwball Comedy With a Lot of Baggage (and Heart)

Freestyle Digital Media has officially unveiled the trailer for Jess Plus None, a delightfully chaotic comedy written and directed by Mandy Fabian. With its sharp wit, ensemble cast, and offbeat charm, the film promises to deliver a fresh take on the screwball comedy—one that’s emotionally honest, laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply relatable.

 

Set against the backdrop of a no-cell-service, deep-in-the-woods wedding, the story follows Jess—played by The Sinner’s Abby Miller—who’s been roped into serving as maid of honor for her best friend’s rustic nuptials. The only problem? Jess isn’t really on speaking terms with herself, let alone the motley crew of guests descending on the forest. Cue the ex-girlfriend she’s never gotten over, her wildly successful college friends who make her feel like a walking cautionary tale, and the creeping realization that adulthood didn’t turn out how she expected.

 

What follows is a weekend full of wine, weddings, and existential dread, in all the best ways. Jess Plus None leans hard into the classic screwball formula—fast-talking, emotionally messy, and full of farcical encounters—but adds a 21st-century lens. It’s part Bridesmaids, part The Big Chill, with a big dose of "Oh God, is this who I am now?"

 

The ensemble cast includes comedy favorites like Matt Walsh (Veep), Marielle Scott (You), Rory O’Malley (Hamilton), and a lineup of faces that bring authenticity and edge to every interaction.

 

Slated for release on April 29, 2025, Jess Plus None looks like it might just be the indie comedy gem of the spring—smart, self-aware, and brimming with heart. If you’ve ever wondered where your life went while scrolling someone else’s highlight reel, this one’s for you.
