‘Search Party’ Red-Band Trailer: T.J. Miller, Thomas Middleditch, And Adam Pally Channel ‘The Hangover’

It’s been nearly three years sinceScot Armstrongstarted shootingSearch Party, an R-rated comedy starringHappy EndingsalumAdam PallyandSilicon ValleystarsT.J. MillerandThomas Middleditch. Originally, the plan was for Universal to openSearch Partyin fall 2014— but fall 2014 came and went without a release, and it’s only now, as we creep into summer 2016, that it’s finally getting ready to hit theaters.

Search Partyhas strong shades ofThe Hangover, which seems appropriate enough considering Armstrong wroteThe Hangover Part II. Miller and Pally play Jason and Evan, friends of groom-to-be Nardo (Middleditch). Convinced Nardo is making a huge mistake, Jason bursts into the wedding and ruins it. A devastated Nardo heads to Mexico to try and win back his bride, only to wind up naked and stranded and alone with no one to call for help but Jason and Evan.

A long-delayed release date isn’t always a sign that a movie is bad — plenty of perfectly good movies have been screwed by circumstances outside of their control, like confused execs or studio financial woes or real-life disasters. So we’ll just sit back and hope for the best from this one. On the plus side,Search Partylooks poised to accidentally benefit from the rising paths of its leads. Miller and Middleditch have gotten much more famous in the intervening years, thanks toSilicon Valley, and co-starKrysten Ritteris now the fawned-over star of Marvel’s best TV series,Jessica Jones.

Search Partywill finally, at long last, hit theaters, on demand, and digital HD onMay 13.Jason Mantzoukas,Alison Brie, andShannon Woodwardalso star.
