Prince Avalanche serves as writer/director David Gordon Green’s return to the independent comedy drama genre. Following his last directed film, The SitterPrince Avalanche stars Paul Rudd (I Love You, Man) and Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) as Alvin and his girlfriend’s brother, Lance, respectively, during a summer spent painting traffic lines on a highway. While the two don’t initially get together, they begin to warm up to one another as time passes. It’s definitely a character-driven film that balances drama with comedy.

Don’t let Green’s recent films fool you: his dramatic films (UndertowSnow Angels) are a lot better than his comedy films(Pineapple ExpressThe Sitter). And while Rudd is primarily known as a comedy actor, he definitely has the chops for drama; on the same hand, Hirsch’s best role to date was in his award-winning film, Into the Wild.

Prince Avalanche should definitely be on your “to-watch” lists when it hits theaters on August 9th.
