WALK OF SHAME (2014)

Meghan Miles (Elizabeth Banks), an L.A. TV news reporter who always plays it safe and is nice to everyone (except cats; cats, for some reason, hate her beloved guts), finds herself up for her dream job at CNN - but when she loses both it and her live-in boyfriend on the same night, is talked into a night of partying with her two BFFs.  A lot of liquor later, Meghan goes home with the bartender (James Marsden), then through a bizarre set of circumstances finds out she's still in the running for the CNN gig after all ... but now is stranded in downtown Los Angeles, late at night, with no car, no money, no purse, and still wearing the tight, bright yellow dress she'd borrowed the night before.  With mere hours to get to the studio for her final interview, Meghan must do it on foot - eluding cops, gangbangers, drug dealers, a horny teenager, a posse of Orthodox Jews, and other Angelenos who think she's a washed-up hooker on drugs.  Banks is so hilarious and charming here, in a very funny comedy about a desperate good girl just trying to get her life back.  Loved it! (rated R)  ****1/2
