Eva Longoria has heaped praise on Kim Kardashian's performance in the upcoming R-rated comedy 'The Fifth Wheel', describing it as 'so funny'. The film, written by Janine Brito and Paula Pell, follows a group of friends whose Las Vegas trip is disrupted by a captivating outsider.
Longoria, who directed the project, told People that the film is a 'big, unapologetically R-rated female comedy that feels modern and contemporary'. She added that filming wrapped after three months, ending in Las Vegas, and called it a 'dream job'.
The cast includes Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, Fortune Feimster, Jack Whitehall, Casey Wilson, Scott MacArthur and Will Ferrell. Longoria highlighted Kardashian's role, saying she is 'the anchor of the movie'.
Longoria, who has been friends with Kardashian for 25 years, recounted that when she got the job, Kardashian said, 'Oh, thank God Eva knows I'm funny'. Longoria agreed, stating, 'And she is — she's so funny. I cannot wait for the world to see how great she is in this movie and hopefully spark more female comedies.'
