As the Cyndi Lauper song catchily blared, girls just want to have fun. And one of them — writer-director Augustine Frizzell — wants girls to have their own Texas-baked, Linklater-smoked-and-exhaled female buddy romp. That comes in “Never Goin’ Back,” her geographically constricted, misadventure indie-comedy that is as likely to tickle chemically-altered after-party crowds as to scare the living daylights out of after-school church groups.
Frizzell’s unrepentantly filthy, frisky celebration of lipsticked bestie-dom in the face of desperation and humiliation won’t win any awards for comic originality: The bad-day-genre standbys of “oops” drug intake, dumb schemes, and digestive mishaps are all present and accounted for. But “Never Goin’ Back,” which Frizzell has admitted is in ways an honest, personal reckoning with incidents in her own fumbling adolescence, has something many comedies simply fail to care about: a spark-filled joie de vivre about the stupidity of youth that lifts it above many...

A24 has released the first red-band trailer for “Never Goin’ Back,” a raunchy comedy starring Cami Morrone and Maia Mitchell.
In the trailer, Angela (Mitchell) gets her friend Jessie (Morrone) a trip to Galveston, Texas, for her birthday. But of course, in the midst of preparing for their trip, everything goes wrong.
The film, written and directed by Augustine Frizzell, debuted at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston, David Lowery and Liz Cardenas produced.

"Well, well, well, look at this!" A24 has debuted the first official red band trailer for a wild teenager stoner comedy titled Never Goin' Back, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. I heard great things about this film, but didn't have a chance to catch it myself during the fest. The film has elicited some odd but accurate comparisons to American Honey or Spring Breakers, two other films released by A24 already. Jessie and Angela, high school dropouts, are taking a week off to chill at the beach. Too bad their house got robbed, rent's due, they're about to get fired, and they're broke. Maia Mitchell and Camila Morrone star, and the cast includes Kyle Mooney, Joel Allen, and Aristotle Abraham II. This looks hilarious and crazy awesome in all the most wicked, amusing ways possible. Get the bong ready and enjoy. Here's the first official...
