Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste Run an Illegal Couponing Scheme in ‘Queenpins’

Inspired by a true story, Kirby Howell-Baptise and Kristen Bell's new comedy flick, ‘Queenpins,’ follows two suburban residents who turn an innocent hobby into a multimillion-dollar counterfeit coupon caper. After Connie (Bell), a bored and frustrated homemaker, fires off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale and receives an apology along with dozens of freebies, she ropes her vlogger best friend, JoJo (Howell-Baptiste), into a coupon club scheme. The two begin to scam millions from mega-corporations and deliver deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers, pocketing the profits. On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer (Paul Walter Hauser) from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. Postal Inspector (Vince Vaughn) in hot pursuit of these newly-minted 'Queenpins' of pink collar crime. Joel McHale and Bebe Rexha round out a star-studded cast directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly, who also wrote the film's script. ‘Queenpins’ premieres in theaters on Sept. 10 and will soon be available to stream on Paramount+.
