Free Hugs

About Free Hugs

Free Hugs captures the "rock bottom" moment of post-breakup wallowing, when friends lose their patience, and the pitiless world moves on without you. We follow the hilariously bitter Billie as she attempts to find catharsis through comfort food (and wine), sawing her belongings in half and attacking a particularly meaningful local monument.

Free Hugs (2011) is a comedy film directed by Olivia Wilde. Released in October 2011, it runs 24 minutes.

Jaclyn Jonet takes the lead as Billie, Sarah Burns as Sydney, Megalyn Echikunwoke as Megan, and Aziz Ansari as Mike. Written by Olivia Wilde.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Can't Hardly Wait, and The Jane Austen Book Club make useful companions to Free Hugs.
