In the cutthroat world of voice-over artists, where the iconic phrase "In a world..." has launched countless movie trailers, Lake Bell stars as Carol Solomon, a talented vocal coach struggling to break free from her father's shadow. Her father, Fred Melamed, is a legendary voice-over king who dismisses her ambitions, leaving Carol to carve her own path in a male-dominated industry. When a blockbuster franchise needs a new voice for their trailer, Carol auditions against a field of booming male competitors, including a smug rival played by Ken Marino. This sharp-witted comedy-drama, written and directed by Lake Bell, also features Demetri Martin as a charming sound engineer who becomes Carol's love interest, and Rob Corddry as her quirky brother-in-law. As Carol navigates family tensions, professional sabotage, and her own self-doubt, the film delivers a hilarious and heartfelt exploration of ambition, identity, and finding your voice in a world that often tells you to stay silent. With a stellar ensemble including Nick Offerman and Geena Davis, this R-rated gem balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotional depth.
