Strangers with Candy

“Going to high school for the first time is always scary... Especially the second time around.”

Jerri Blank (Amy Sedaris) is 46, fresh out of prison, and determined to fix her life by picking it up exactly where she dropped it. That means walking back into Flatpoint High as a freshman, with her father in a stress-induced coma at home and a family doctor's advice taken far too literally. Paul Dinello directs, with Stephen Colbert as teacher Chuck Noblet, and Jerri sits in a classroom of teenagers, a woman of 46 in the front row.
