When you have a group of actors that include an impressive list like Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Juliette Lewis, Awkwafina, Ellen Barkin, Jimmi Simpson, Clifton Collins Jr., Matthew Modine, and more, it's beyond just a little exciting. It's even better when the movie happens to be delightfully funny, have a healthy amount of brutal shenanigans, and it's all wrapped up in a dark as f*ck comedy like Breaking News in Yuba County. Directed by Tate Taylor and written by Amanda Idoko, this wild comedy will bring on the laughs, with sharp characters and at times, a gleefully macabre sense of fun.
Allison Janney has long been a favorite of mine. With her fantastic work in last year's Bad Education, it's excellent to see her headline a movie like this. We spoke with this fantastic talent about the new film, and about playing a character like 'Sue Buttons.' As well, we spoke with both Mila Kunis and Juliette Lewis about their contribution to this engagingly awesome feature film. If you are a fan of just one of these amazing actors, I highly recommend Breaking News in Yuba County, which opens this Friday in select theatres and digital. If you are looking for a wild comedy to forget about all the madness, you'll want to head over to Yuba County real quick! This breaking news is worth a watch!
