When STRANGERS WITH CANDY had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, Jerri Blank said, "Whoopee - on me!" Now that the movie has been in theaters, is now playing on Showtime and is now available on DVD, there's no telling what she might say!
STRANGERS WITH CANDY is a dark satire of the moralistic after-school specials and will star Sedaris as Jerri Blank, a 47-year old former "user, boozer and loser" who returns to high school after three decades of hard living. The film will also include co-creators Dinello as Mr. Jellineck, a narcissistic yet fragile art teacher, and Colbert as Mr. Noblet, a strict history teacher with a predilection for Hummel figurines.
STRANGERS WITH CANDY was released by THINKFilm. In addition to its Sundance premiere, the film also screened as part of CineVegas.
