Asking for It is a 2021 American thriller film written and directed by Eamon O'Rourke and starring Kiersey Clemons, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Shipp, Ezra Miller, Gabourey Sidibe and Luke Hemsworth.
The film was released at the Tribeca Festival on June 13, 2021, before being released by Saban Films on March 4, 2022.
Joey (Kiersey Clemons), a small-town waitress, befriends Regina (Alexandra Shipp), a regular customer at the diner where she works. After Joey experiences date rape from an old school acquaintance, Regina introduces her to the Cherry Bombers, an all-female vigilante gang. The group includes hot-headed Beatrice (Vanessa Hudgens) and their advisors Sal (Radha Mitchell) and Fala (Casey Camp-Horinek). United by their shared traumatic experiences at the hands of men, the Cherry Bombers have transformed their personal quests for vengeance into a broader mission to make misogynists suffer. The group is planning their most ambitious mission yet—targeting Mark Vanderhill (Ezra Miller), the leader of the Men’s First Movement (MFM), whose toxic rhetoric combines men’s rights activism and incel ideology. The film has been described as having a B-movie vibe as it portrays this group of radical feminists taking on incels and the patriarchy.
