Strangers with Candy is a 2005 American comedy film directed by Paul Dinello, written by Dinello, Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris, and serves as a prequel to their 1999–2000 Comedy Central television series of the same name. Set in the fictional city of Flatpoint, Strangers with Candy, tells the story of 46-year-old former high school dropout and self-described "junkie whore" Jerri Blank (Sedaris), who after being released from prison, returns to her childhood home and discovers her father is in a "stress-induced coma". Taking the suggestion of the family doctor literally, Jerri decides to pick her life back up where she left it; and starts again as a freshman at Flatpoint High. The film also stars Colbert and Dinello, with Deborah Rush, Gregory Hollimon, Joseph Cross, Maria Thayer and Carlo Alban all reprising their original roles, except for Cross and Alban. The film was produced by Roberts/David Films and David Letterman's Worldwide Pants, with Colbert serving as co-producer.
