Sony Pictures Classics released the theatrical trailer for ‘Damsels in Distress’. The film is about three beautiful girls who set out to change the male dominated environment at a grungy American University – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Greta Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and Sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore). They welcome transfer student Lily (Analeigh Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good hygiene and musical dance numbers.

The girls get romantically entangled with a series of men including Smooth Charlie (Adam Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker), the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen) who threaten the girl’s friendship and sanity.
