 Kerri Pomarolli Film "Engaged" Coming to Sky Angel The romantic comedy and indie hit, Engaged, starring Kerri Pomarolli, is set for television debut on Sky Angel Two on Wednesday, September 30, at 8:00 PM EST with an encore presentation at 11:00 PM. A popular comic actress, Kerri Pomarolli made the transition from television and film to performing comedy live on stage. The busy comedian took a break from touring to co-star in the critically acclaimed romantic comedy, Engaged. Also starring in the outrageously funny movie is actor and comedian Ron McGehee. McGehee is hilarious as Murray, a man who alternates between tactless and ignorance becoming overly protective as he puts the many dilemmas into perspective by being outrageously combative with the groom's father. Chock full of side splitting comments, McGehee's character is sometimes mindless as he's always sticking his foot in his mouth, causing racial tension with his ridiculous antics.
The film focuses on the engagement of Pomarolli's character, Eden, but the story is very cleverly told by the black sheep middle sister Beatrice (Amanda Fuller). Engaged is a story that challenges cultural and religious stereotypes, as two families meet for the first time at an engagement party. The film leads to both comical and bitter antagonism as Eden announces during a family toast that she is no longer getting married.
Writer Claire Yorita Lee has worked on numerous TV shows and pilots including NBC's Medium. Engaged is a passion project for her, combining her love for Christ, comedy and community.
Directed by Dean Miyahira, the cast also includes Amanda Fuller (CSI, Without a Trace, 7th Heaven), Patty Toy Chung (NYPD Blue, Mad About You, Chicago Hope), as well as some very talented newcomers.
Kerri Pomarolli's successes have not gone unnoticed by secular media. She regularly makes television appearances on ABC, ABC Family, CBS, NBC, FOX, Comedy Central, Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, CBN, CNN, Oxygen and many more. She's appeared on The Tonight Show over 29 times, published 3 books, writes an award winning column and is a contributing writer for many national magazines. Her book Guys Like Girls Named Jennie is also being considered as a romantic comedy movie.
Engaged is scheduled to air on Sky Angel Two on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 8:00 PM and again at 11:00 PM EST. |
