National Lampoon Announces Theatrical Release of ``National Lampoon's Bagboy''

A Comedy That Will Make You Think Twice About Your Local Grocery
Store Hits Theaters March 14th
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
National Lampoon has set March 14, 2008 as the theatrical release
date for "National Lampoon's Bagboy", the first in-house produced
feature film in the three-and-a-half-decade history of the comedy
legend. From the company who brought us the dysfunctional Griswold's
in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" series and introduced the zany
up-and-coming cast from "National Lampoon's Animal House", comes this
offbeat tale of a young grocery clerk with aspirations to win the
World Bagging Championship competition.

Starring Dennis Farina (Saving Private Ryan, Get Shorty), Brooke
Shields (NBC's upcoming Lipstick Jungle, The Blue Lagoon, "Suddenly
Susan"), Marika Domynczyk ("Brothers & Sisters"), and teen heartthrobs
Paul Campbell ("Battlestar Galactica"), Robert Hoffman (Step Up 2,
"Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out" and She's the Man), Wesley
Jonathan ("What I Like About You") and Nick Lashaway (The 40 Year Old
Virgin), National Lampoon's Bagboy hits the road and goes deep inside
the world of competitive grocery store bagging to expose the blood,
sweat and tears that go into making a dream a reality. Viewers will
cry with laughter as the picture takes the concept of "check out" to a
whole new level, teaching us how to sack up and go for it! The trailer
is available for viewing at www.nationallampoon.com and across the
National Lampoon Video Network.

Directed by Mort Nathan (co-writer of Kingpin, writer/director of
Boat Trip, director of The Rise of Taj), "National Lampoon's Bagboy"
was written by Reed Buccholz and Nathan, based on a story from
Buccholz. Produced in association with Red Rock Pictures Holdings,
Inc., Conundrum Entertainment, and Goodsurf Productions, the picture
was produced by Jefferson Richard, Rob Moran, Zen Gesner, Bruce Long,
and Barry Layne.

"National Lampoon's Bagboy" is being supported throughout its
theatrical release and subsequent home entertainment release with
significant media and marketing programs. "National Lampoon's Bagboy"
is part of the company's strategy of building and growing a National
Lampoon owned and controlled library.

SYNOPSIS

"National Lampoon's Bagboy" stars Phil (Paul Campbell), a lowly
grocery clerk with an extra-ordinary skill for bagging. Virtually
unknown in the shadowy world of competitive, professional bagging, he
turns out to be a prodigy who catches the eye of former pro circuit
bagger turned local grocery store owner. Marty (Dennis Farina) takes
the naive and sheltered bag boy under his wing and into the World
Bagging Competition. Going from local grocery store bagger to the
world champ will not be an easy task, but with the help of a beautiful
co-worker with an anger management problem named Bambi (Marika
Domynczyk), a desperate housewife (Brooke Shields), a worthy opponent,
and a crew of best friends with hilarious goals of their own, Phil
shows he's got the hands to beat the reigning champ and get his house
in order along the way!
