By the looks of the new trailer for “Life Partners,” this Leighton Meester vehicle might just be the accessibly esoteric, gay-straight, all-female, buddy-buddy comedy you’ve always wanted to see — even if you never knew that exactly, because how.
The “Gossip Girl” alum stars as Sasha, a lesbian with pretty DGAF tendencies who is best friends with Gillian Jacobs’ more straight-laced straight lady character, Paige. The two have made a pact that Paige won’t marry until Sasha legally can (how Jack Antonoff/Lena Dunham of them), but that was before Tim (played by Meester’s IRL husband, Adam Brody) proposed to Paige. A whacky, yet touching, romp presumably ensues.
“Life Partners” also features Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe as Jen, and it is slated to hit On Demand and iTunes on November 6, with a December 5 theatrical release to follow according to the film’s website. Susanna Fogel directs, and she and Joni Lefkowitz wrote the screenplay.
