Restless with her mundane routine as a cable news producer, Kim Baker plunges herself into a new job as a foreign correspondent in Kabul, Afghanistan.
That line could describe countless rom-coms, but Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a comedic adaptation of real-life reporter Kim Barker‘s memoir The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan, takes a slightly deeper approach. It a war comedy with a side of romance.
Barker’s book highlights the humor in her situation, and in the lead role, ever-hilarious Tina Fey takes Baker’s material and runs—video recorder in hand—toward danger and the next great story!
Margot Robbie, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman and Alfred Molina round out the cast and provide perfect accompaniment to Fey’s brazen humor and high-spirited Baker.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot comes to Blu-ray June 14. The combo pack includes 45 minutes of bonus content, including never-before-seen footage, an interview with the real Kim Barker, and an inside look at the making of the film.
