Lionsgate has just released the official trailer for the new film The Honeymoon, heading for a release in December.

Along with Bakalova, The Honeymoon also stars Asim Chaudhry (What’s Love Got to Do With It?), Pico Alexander (Orange Is the New Black), Marco Valerio Montesano (Tornare), Michele Enrico Montesano (L’ispettore Giusti), and Lucas Bravo (Ticket to Paradise). Dean Craig (Death at a Funeral, Love Wedding Repeat) wrote and directed the feature film. Bakalova produced with Piers Tempest and Guglielmo Marchetti while executive producers include Mario Mazzarotto, Daniele Mazzocca, Andrea Borella, and Jo Mabford.
The official synopsis for The Honeymoon reads:
In this raunchy romantic comedy, Adam whisks his new bride Sarah (Bakalova) to Venice for a honeymoon. But when Adam brings best friend Bav along for the ride, Bav causes one gross-out disaster after another. When charming gangster Giorgio falls for Sarah, he gets rid of Adam and Bav by sending them across the border on a drug-dealing mission. Can they outrun the Slovenian cops, dodge bullets from the baddies, and get back before Sarah gets a rich new mobster boyfriend?
Maria Bakalova Is a Comedy Genre Favorite
Born in Bulgaria, Maria Bakalova’s breakthrough role was as Tutar Sagdiyev in 2020’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, a sequel to the original Borat with Sacha Baron Cohen. Her performance included an in-character interview with Rudy Giuliani, though the latter was apparently unaware of who he was really speaking with, leading to a very awkward conversation that generated plenty of mainstream publicity at the time. The role earned her many awards, including the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress. She was also nominated for an Oscar for the role.
Just recently, Bakalova also served as a part of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special by providing the voice of Cosmo the Spacedog; she reprises that role for the upcoming movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. She’s also set to appear in the upcoming films Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, Fairyland, and Triumph. Bakalova’s other recent roles include appearing in A24’s slasher movie Bodies Bodies Bodies along with Netflix’s comedy The Bubble by director Judd Apatow.
The Honeymoon will be released in the United States on Dec. 16, 2022, courtesy of Lionsgate.
