8) Sleeping With Other People (opens Aug. 21, limited)
Alison Brie is one of the most under-appreciated comic actresses working today, and it’s absolutely shameful that she still has to be degraded for roles in mainstream fare (like the absolutely atrocious Get Hard). This summer might change all that, though – she stars with Jason Sudeikis in Sleeping with Other People, which is riding a wave of critical acclaim out of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival all the way to an August release date.
Brie plays a serial cheater who embarks on a platonic relationship with a womanizer (Sudeikis) even as both of them start to catch the feels. With its stellar cast, also including Natasha Lyonne, Adam Scott and Amanda Peet, as well as a strong writer-director in Leslye Headland (Bachelorette, About Last Night), this is looking like the sleeper hit comedy of the summer.
