Hello Ladies: The Movie

“The final seduction begins.”

Stuart Pritchard (Stephen Merchant) hears that his British ex-girlfriend is flying to Los Angeles with her husband, and he sets out to make his life look better than it is. He recruits a flaky Russian model he has just met to pose as his glamorous girlfriend, with Jessica (Christine Woods) and his friends caught up in the arrangement. Merchant, who directed, plays Stuart as a man who talks himself further into the lie with every awkward pause.
