Plot

In the heart of New York City, Imogene Duncan, a once thriving playwright graced by a prestigious grant, finds herself teetering on the precipice of despair. Her promising journey towards theatrical greatness, which began with a leap from her loathed hometown of Ocean City, New Jersey, has led her down a path of heartache and failure. Her social sphere, hinged on her boyfriend and fashion-obsessed socialite, Peter Van Woodsen, crumbles when he ends their relationship, leaving her to face a crumbling existence marked by the loss of her upscale apartment and a dismissal from her low-tier writing job. As her life spirals out of control, Imogene's desperate measures land her back in Ocean City, in the eccentric arms of her widowed mother, Zelda Duncan. She enters a world she had intentionally distanced herself from, one filled with quirky personas: her peculiar brother, Ralph, whose life orbits around his hermit crab business; the delusional George Bousche, Zelda's boyfriend who fancies himself an undercover CIA agent and time-traveling samurai; and Lee, a young singer lodging with Zelda, who impersonates renowned musicians in a tacky revue. In her quest to reclaim her former New York life and rekindle her romance with Peter, Imogene stumbles upon a family secret that drives a further wedge between her and Zelda. Her father, Maxwell Duncan, whom she believed was dead, is alive and thriving as an author in New York City. Imogene clings to the belief that reconnecting with her father could be the key to a more fulfilling life, far removed from the chaos of her current existence. Starring Kristen Wiig, "Girl Most Likely" is a poignant exploration of identity, family, and acceptance. As Imogene painfully navigates the transition from being the industry's next big thing to yesterday's news, she finds herself on a rocky path of self-discovery. Through the chaos, she learns that to rebuild her life, she must first embrace her eccentric family and her Jersey roots, even if her ultimate aim is to escape them.
