Laurel (Kazan) has always been the odd wallflower, choosing to live at home with her father, while her glamorous identical twin, Audrey (Kazan), possesses the confidence and appeal to succeed in the big city. When tragedy strikes and Laurel is mistaken for her twin sister, she makes the impulsive decision to assume her sister’s identity and become The Pretty One. As she eases into her new, independent existence, Laurel discovers that she’s capable of accomplishments she had never before had dreamed of: excelling in a career, maintaining friendships and even finding love. Zoe Kazan (Ruby Sparks), Jake Johnson (TV’s “New Girl”) and Ron Livingston (Drinking Buddies) star in this quirky, comedic drama about family ties and second chances.

Common Sense Says

Quirky dramedy with sexual situations and some language.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Pretty One is a quirky dramedy that teens might enjoy, but that includes some sexual situations as well as a bit of strong language, including "s--t" and "f--k." Expect a sudden car accident with tragic consequences and a single fistfight. Adults drink a bit, sometimes excessively.
