Chicklit
ChickLit is a comedy drama about four guys trying to save their local pub from closing down. They group write a chick lit, or more specifically a 'mummy porn' novel in the style of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and it gets snapped up. The only snag is that the publisher insists that the young woman 'author' does press and publicity. The guys have to keep their involvement a secret and so engage an out of work actress to 'role play' the part of the author. This leads to her becoming the star in the film of the book, the tables are turned on the guys and she is in control - leaving them with the awful prospect of having to secretly churn out sex novels for the foreseeable future.

Overall enjoyable, but there's an excruciatingly extended transphobic attempt-at-a-joke around the 38 minute mark that has nothing to do with anything & is frankly embarrassing for a film that came out in 2016. It doesn't fit with anything we know about at least 2 of the 3 characters involved, & I had to mentally delete it to stay in the story afterwards.
