“Yes, bitch! There she is.” SNL star plays a strip-club fairy godmother schooling an awkward teen in sex-ed confidence.
Hulu has dropped the first trailer for Summer of 69, and it’s all about Chloe Fineman in Summer of 69 turning an end-of-semester panic into a crash course on confidence.
Directed by Jillian Bell (who also co-wrote the script), the R-rated comedy starts streaming May 9 and pairs the SNL chameleon with newcomer Sam Morelos (That ’90s Show) for a buddy adventure wrapped in neon lights and bad advice.
Plot snapshot
Chloe Fineman in Summer of 69
Seventeen-year-old Abby (Morelos) refuses to enter college as a kiss-less wonder. Her solution? Hire exotic dancer and self-announced “sexual fairy godmother” Mindy (Fineman) to coach her seduction of longtime crush Jake (Matt Cornett).
Lessons range from strip-club choreography to “sexy” fast-food orders, until the mentor-for-hire gig morphs into real friendship.

Festival reception

Premiering at SXSW last month, early reactions dubbed the film “Magic Mike meets Booksmart.” Critics singled out Fineman’s quick-fire improv and Morelos’s shy-kid-to-world-beater arc as the movie’s secret sauce.
Why Fineman took the gig

Fresh off voice work in Despicable Me 4 and cameo duties in Freakier Friday, Fineman told reporters she “couldn’t resist playing a stripper who treats sex ed like a TED Talk.” The role, she says, “lets the funny come from empowerment, not humiliation.”

Summer of 69 streams exclusively on Hulu beginning Thursday, May 9.
