Come October, Fox Star Studios will be back with a refreshing comedy “What’s Your Number?” starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans. Faris, who displayed her comic talent in hits from the “Scary Movie” series to “Just Friends” and “The House Bunny”, plays the delightfully flawed Ally Darling, who has just read a magazine article warning that women who have had relationships with 20 or more men are unlikely to settle down and get married.
In a panic, she realizes that she has reached her limit and instead of looking for a new boyfriend, she decides to revisit her 19 exes with the hope that there must be one ideal candidate among them! Assisting her on this quest is her attractive neighbor Colin, played by Chris Evans.
With her impeccable comic timing, warmth and depth, Faris brings Ally to life with such authenticity that every girl will be able to easily identify with her.
As an actor and filmmaker, Faris appreciated the story being told from Ally’s point of view, in a no-holds-barred way that mixes sex, heart, fun and emotion. “I loved the idea of women getting to play in what right now seems like a man’s world,” Faris elaborates. “Women can relate to envelope-pushing comedies, just like men can. So I wanted to play in that world as well, where a modern woman can be raunchy and real and gritty with her friends.”
Chris Evans, best known for action films (the star of the recent “Captain America”) was thrilled about doing a romantic comedy for the first time. “I’ve always wanted to do one,” says Evans. “To be honest, I love romantic comedies. I’m not ashamed to say that they’re great ‘feel good’ movies!”
Packed with some truly hilarious moments, the film promises to be a complete entertainer for its interesting take on ‘finding true love’ and the fabulous chemistry between Anna Faris and Chris Evans.
“What’s Your Number” releases on October 14, in India. The film is directed by Mark Mylod, who has previously directed the HBO TV series “Entourage”.
