‘It Happened In L.A.’ Trailer: The Female Answer To 'Swingers'

Two decades ago, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn took their experiences of trying to make it while dating in L.A. and created the breakout hit “Swingers.” Now, two decades later, “It Happened In L.A.” (formerly titled “L.A. Times“) offers what could be seen as the female answer to that movie, with another comedy about dating and relationships in the city of angels.

Written, directed, and starring Michelle Morgan with Jorma Taccone, Dree Hemingway, and Kentucker Audley in support, the story follows a neurotic couple who examine their relationship by looking at those around them. Here’s the official synopsis:

Annette (Michelle Morgan) and Elliot (Jorma Taccone) are a mostly happy, moderately neurotic LA couple. Maybe Annette doesn’t enjoy game nights or taco stands as much as Elliot does, but no relationship is perfect, right? Rather than embracing their differences, Annette can only compare their relationship to their happy couple friends. This cannot be endorsed by Annette’s beautiful but romantically troubled best friend, Baker (Dree Hemingway), who is very well-versed on the bleakness of the LA dating scene. Taking its cues from classic mid-20th Century comedies with a stylish and contemporary spin, IT HAPPENED IN L.A. is an irreverent tale of life and the search for elusive love in the 21st Century.

“It Happened In L.A.” opens in limited release on November 3rd in New York and November 10th in Los Angeles and goes digital on November 14th. [Deadline]
