Aubrey Plaza's Emily The Criminal is a Date Night movie contender

Simply said? It’s must-see. Date Night approved? Almost certainly just looking at the trailer alone? Heck yes. Actress Aubrey Plaza’s portrayal of Emily - a woman trying to get her head above water - is gripping and what I thought would be a few seconds of watching the trailer had me stuck to the final moments.

Wow.

97 minutes. Great cast. Thrilling. All of the makings for a must-see Date Night flick. Check out the details, watch the trailer and start the countdown to August 12.

Written and Directed by John Patton Ford

Starring Aubrey Plaza, Theo Rossi, Megalyn Echikunwoke, and Gina Gershon

Emily (Aubrey Plaza) is saddled with student debt and locked out of the job market due to a minor criminal record. Desperate for income, she takes a shady gig as a “dummy shopper,” buying goods with stolen credit cards supplied by a handsome and charismatic middleman named Youcef (Theo Rossi). Faced with a series of dead-end job interviews, Emily soon finds herself seduced by the quick cash and illicit thrills of black-market capitalism, and increasingly interested in her mentor Youcef. Together, they hatch a plan to bring their business to the next level in Los Angeles.
