When it comes to movies, last year brought with it some dubious titles, like Hubie Halloween, the cringeworthy holiday romp that allowed Adam Sandler to make good on his threat to make a terrible film if he didn’t get an Oscar nomination for Uncut Gems.

He really delivered on that one. Remind me never to cross him.

This year is looking a little more promising, and the first film I’ll be adding to my watchlist is Breaking News in Yuba County.

Rolling Stone breaks it down:

The film stars Allison Janney as Sue Buttons, an under-appreciated suburban housewife who becomes an empathetic local celebrity overnight after her husband suddenly goes missing.

While Sue relishes her newfound fame — spurred in part by coverage provided by her half-sister, a local news reporter played by Mila Kunis — the disappearance uncorks a deeper mystery involving a wide array of unique characters.

Some of those characters include Regina Hall as a policewoman investigating the case, Awkwafina as a wannabe mobster, and Jimmi Simpson as Sue’s useless brother-in-law.

Take in the trailer:

Other big names on the cast list include Wanda Sykes, Juliette Lewis, Matthew Modine, Ellen Barkin, Samira Wiley, Bridget Everett, Clinton Collins, Jr., and Keong Sim.

Catch it in select theatres on February 12
