Karen Gillan SelfieWhat’s It All About? Eliza Dooley (Gillan) is a superficial social-media superstar pharmaceutical sales rep who spends lots of time making sure her lipstick matches her thong. Henry (Cho) is a workaholic marketing whiz who bemoans the kids these days with their Facebooks and such. Also, Henry has a wisecracking bearded best friend. After a major embarrassment on an airplane makes Eliza a laughingstock, she enlists Henry to help her repackage her image into “a respected and valued woman of stature.” Selfie is My Fair Lady (Pygmalion if you’re Henry) for millennials, who will probably be too busy taking selfies to actually watch Selfie.
