Anna Kendrick Gets Drunk, Laid in ‘Happy Christmas’ Trailer (Video)

“Pitch Perfect” star plays a directionless twentysomething in upcoming dramedy co-starring Joe Swanberg, Lena Dunham and Melanie Lynskey

Anna Kendrick plays a woman in desperate need of growing up in the new trailer for Joe Swanberg‘s dramedy “Happy Christmas,” which debuted Tuesday.

The Magnolia Pictures film features Kendrick as Jenny, a woman without direction who decides to move to Chicago after a rough breakup with her boyfriend. She moves in with her filmmaker brother Jeff (Swanberg), his wife Kelly (Melanie Lynskey) and their new baby. Jenny’s hard-partying ways are in stark contrast with Jeff and Kelly’s quiet and responsible domestic life.
