The Wrong Girls stoner comedy stars Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat

The stoner comedy “The Wrong Girls,” written and directed by Dylan Meyer, is set for release on August 14, 2026. The film stars Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat as two best friends, Frankie and Molly, who find themselves embroiled in a government conspiracy after a case of mistaken identity leads to the possession of a briefcase containing experimental drugs.

The plot follows the duo as they ingest the substances, which grant them telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Their misadventures involve escaping Danish henchmen and navigating a surreal, hallucinatory landscape. The film features an ensemble cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Kate McKinnon, Geena Davis, Tony Hale, Seth Rogen, and Kumail Nanjiani, with the latter two providing voice work for the characters' cats.

Critics have noted the organic chemistry between Stewart and Shawkat, highlighting the film as a character-driven exploration of female friendship. While some reviews describe the film as “sweetly stupid” and a “loving ode to the power of friendship and THC,” others suggest its unpolished, vibe-centric nature may make it better suited for streaming or cult status rather than major box-office competition.
