What to expect
The film follows a desperate housewife who joins a cult of Tiger Moms to discipline her rebellious children. It is billed as a family comedy and sits in the festival's Vanguard Feature program. The State Theatre is a 1935 movie house that seats about 305, so the room feels close. Festival premieres like this often come with people from the film in the audience.
Why go
A world premiere is a chance to see a film before it has had any release, with its makers in town. The cast is a mix of comedy names and international leads. The State Theatre is one of downtown Austin's oldest cinemas, and the Paramount's historic marquee stands right next door.
