Back in the 90s, we had stoner comedies like Dazed and Confused (1993), Half Baked (1998), and Friday (1995). In the 2000s, movies like Pineapple Express (2008), How High (2001), and Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000). Now, Colson Baker aka Machine Gun Kelly is making his (co)directorial debut with a new stoner comedy called Good Mourning.
Good Mourning tells the story of London Clash, played by Baker. Clash is a television star, and has been dating Apple (Becky G) for a year. He’s looking for his next big role when he receives a strange text message from his girlfriend one morning. The texts say “I wish I didn’t have to do this through text” and “good mourning.” Clash is thrown into a state of confusion, wondering if his girlfriend is breaking up with him. But, he can’t attend to that now because he has a meeting that could land him the big role he has been hoping for.
Good Mourning is written and directed by Colson Baker and Mod Sun. The duo also star in the movie alongside Megan Fox, Dove Cameron, Pete Davidson, Becky G, and Jenna Boyd. The movie also features notable cameos such as Snoop Dogg as a talking blunt and Whitney Cummings. Jib Polhemus and Chris Long produced Good Mourning. The executive producers of the movie are David Beame, René Besson, James Masciello, Tom Ortenberg, and Matthew Sidari.
The official plot synopsis for Good Mourning reads:
“Good Mourning follows movie star London Clash (Colson Baker aka Machine Gun Kelly, acting and directing under his own name). When he wakes up to an implied breakup text from the love of his life, his world is turned upside down. And the timing couldn’t be worse because the most important meeting of his career is scheduled for later that same day. Compounded by chaotic roommates and wildly unpredictable twists and turns, London’s day keeps going downhill until, ultimately, he is forced to choose between pursuing his one true love and landing a life-changing, starring role in a major motion picture.”
