Key Points
Here’s your exclusive first look at Neon’s The Wrong Girls.
The stoner comedy is the directorial debut for Dylan Meyer, who also wrote the screenplay.
The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Alia Shawkat, LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani, Kate McKinnon, Tony Hale, and Geena Davis.
Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat are about to go on a hell of a trip.
The Twilight and Arrested Development alums star in Neon’s The Wrong Girls, a wild new stoner comedy from writer-director Dylan Meyer, and Entertainment Weekly has your psychedelic first look.
Meyer’s feature debut follows Frankie (Stewart) and Molly (Shawkat), a pair of pot-loving best friends who get mixed up in a case of mistaken identity that throws their lives into chaos.

“Frankie and Molly are codependent boneheads who have spent the last 10 years blissfully in a fog of weed smoke, co-signing each others’ bad choices and screening adulthood’s increasingly insistent calls,” Meyer tells EW. “Just as Molly’s boyfriend asks her to move in with him, Frankie is mistakenly given a briefcase full of glowing vials of an experimental psychedelic.”
And that’s when things get crazy. The drugs leave Frankie and Molly with lingering telepathy, with each other and their cats. Their possession of the valuable property soon makes them the target of uptight Danish villains in white suits, who don’t just want their drugs back — they also now view the girls as disposable human test subjects. Wrong turns and stupidity ensue at every corner
“It’s a stoner girl comedy, and it’s really f—ing stupid,” Stewart previously teased. “I think you’ll like it.”

The star-studded cast also includes LaKeith Stanfield as NotMetalHeadDave, the for-hire action man who gives the girls the briefcase; Zack Fox as Molly’s “wonderful,” as Meyer describes him, boyfriend Josh; Tony Hale as a “douchey real estate developer”; Kate McKinnon as Dr. Olsen, the Danish scientist who created the drugs; Geena Davis as Dr. Olsen’s partner in life and science, and Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani as Frankie and Molly’s judgmental talking cats.
“The Wrong Girls was born from my relationship with my best friend and producing partner Maggie McLean, the babe I couldn’t do anything without,” Meyer shares. “It’s a love letter to wayward chaotic women and the essential platonic partnerships that prop them up. The Wrong Girls may feature giant squids, Danish hitmen, talking cats, and supernatural abilities, but the emotional story and stakes are pure memoir.”
