In the trailer above for A Little Help, Jenna Fischer stars as a newly single mom, whose lousy ex-husband Chris O’Donnell dies and goes to Bat Heaven. Now she’s got to raise an eccentric kid all by herself, and there’s a pretty funny 9/11 subplot. I realize that might sound awful, especially the way I phrased it, but it works in the trailer. She also falls in love with her ex-high school sweetheart, who’s also her sister’s husband, which I’m sure won’t complicate matters at all.

Personally, I like Jenna Fischer and could stand to see more of her, in non-Pam Halpert roles. Will this Michael J. Weithorn (King of Queens) directed fil break her out as a movie star? I don’t think so, though I’d definitely buy a ticket if she re-wears her Blades of Glory attire in the movie. That’s-a nice-a outfit.
