Hulu has officially set the Summer of 69 cast for its newest comedy movie, which will serve as actress-turned-filmmaker Jillian Bell‘s feature directorial debut.
“In the film, an awkward high school senior hires an exotic dancer to help seduce her longtime crush before graduation, leading to unexpected friendship and lessons in self-confidence, acceptance, and adulthood,” reads the film’s official synopsis.
