Bob Odenkirk deals with murder & romance cards in Girlfriend’s Day trailer

Although Netflix has been in the original programming game for close to five years, it really hasn't been all that long since the streaming service released their first original movie (not counting documentaries), but, from the looks of things, they're showing no signs of slowing down. The upcoming year will see Netflix release many more original movies, including GIRLFRIEND'S DAY, a comedy/drama which stars Bob Odenkirk and Amber Tamblyn. Odenkirk stars as Ray, a down-on-his-luck romance card writer who finds himself entangled in a web of murder and deceit as writers compete to create the perfect card for a newly crowned holiday: Girlfriend’s Day. Netflix have released a trailer for the flick and it looks like it has the potential to be a entertaining diversion while we wait for the third-season of Better Call Saul.

"I hate optimistic people. They bum me out with their upbeat attitude."

The official synopsis for GIRLFRIEND'S DAY:

Ever wonder who penned the perfect words to the Mother’s Day card you sent last year? Or the hilarious birthday card you gave your best friend? A master of words, that’s who. In the Netflix original film, Girlfriend’s Day, director Michael Paul Stephenson (“The American Scream“) invites you to experience a clever and quirky story about love, loss and the worst place to get a paper cut. Meet Ray Wentworth (Bob Odenkirk), once a king of the wordsmith world, and now a down-on-his-luck romance card writer. In an effort to recapture the feelings that once made him the greatest, he gets entangled in a web of murder and deceit as writers vie to create the perfect card for a newly crowned holiday: Girlfriend’s Day.

GIRLFRIEND'S DAY will debut on Netflix on February 14, 2017.
