The film stars Dafne Keen( Deadpool & Wolverine), Sam McCarthy ( Dead To Me), Steve Buscemi( Boardwalk Empire), Johnny Knoxville ( Jackass), Josh Lucas ( Ford Vs Ferrari) and Sarah Chalke ( Scrubs) in the story of “a young internet addicted teen (McCarthy) who, after bombing in bed with his dream girl, embarks on a wild, cringe-filled journey of digital detox…with influencer parents, rogue AI avatars, and a talking gorilla as his guide, The Marshmallow Experiment tackles intimacy, identity, and growing up unplugged—in the most online way possible.” The market is primed for the return of the raunchy comedy, which is not only relevant to today’s youth and the struggles that only they have faced during their adolescence, but also relates so closely to us parents as a reminder of the days when we were teens, trying to figure life out in an avalanche of doubt, confusion and sexual tension.
