“We’ve got 48 hours to blow this, people!!” This should be filed under “Don’t Watch”. Gravitas has revealed an official trailer for an indie comedy titled My Divorce Party, about a group of women who try to have a fun time together while celebrating a divorce. Ha ha. Divorcee Xan gathers all of her close friends out in the desert to celebrate her impending split, only to reveal she intends to burn her divorce settlement money to start fresh. Chaos ensues as each friend has a wildly different opinion on what Xan should do. The comedy is set out at Joshua Tree, where she brings her friends and meets some strange people along the way. Starring Desiree Staples as Xan, along with Rumer Willis, Kimia Behpoornia, Michell Meredith, Dionne Gipson Amara, Laith Ashley Ajax, & Sarah Hollis Samantha. This is heading direct-to-VOD later this month, which is the proper place for this very trashy looking comedy meant for a very specific audience.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Heidi Weitzer’s film My Divorce Party, direct from YouTube:
On the weekend before finalizing Xan’s divorce, she decides to gather her closest friends in Joshua Tree to relax, celebrate, and more appropriately, sulk. The gang arrives at their less than tranquil lodging, an RV park. They meet their “eccentric” neighbors Ezekiel, a pansexual hick, and Amara, an Instagram bohemian hippie. That evening, Xan drunkenly spirals out and reveals that she’ll have to give up half of all of her assets to her soon-to-be ex in the divorce settlement come Monday, so she drained her bank account and brought $100K in cash to the desert. She starts throwing the money into the bonfire before her friends spring into action and stop her. Lines are soon drawn as every friend has a different opinion on what Xan should do with the money. My Divorce Party is written and directed by American indie filmmaker Heidi Weitzer, making her feature directorial debut after the directing on the TV series “Darcy on House Arrest” previously. Produced by Adrienne Childress and Geenah Krisht. Gravitas Ventures will debut Weitzer’s My Divorce Party direct-to-VOD starting April 30th, 2024 later this month. Anyone into this movie… or not?
