What’s the Story?
Ladies First follows Damien Sachs (Sacha Baron Cohen) — a classic “ladies’ man” on the cusp of becoming CEO — who wakes up in a parallel world completely dominated by women. Every power dynamic he’s ever known? Flipped. Enter Alex Fox, played by the fiercely talented Rosamund Pike, who becomes his sharp-tongued workplace rival in this new world order.
The film is a reimagining of the 2018 French Netflix hit I Am Not an Easy Man, adapted for English-speaking audiences with a stellar British cast.
Star-Studded Cast
Beyond the two leads, the ensemble is genuinely impressive — Charles Dance, Fiona Shaw, Richard E. Grant, Emily Mortimer, and Tom Davis all feature. That’s a lot of firepower for a comedy.
Why Should You Watch It?
Director Thea Sharrock (Wicked Little Letters) brings real comedic chops to the project. The screenplay is co-written by Katie Silberman, who helped craft Booksmart — so sharp, witty dialogue is all but guaranteed.
