When Sam and Matt flee their small mid-western town of 'Shickville,' for New York City, they are surprised to see that hot girls literally line up in the streets. So, after months of failure they come up with the idea to hold a fake audition to meet women. Hilarity ensues when dozens of hot, talentless, babes show up competing for a job that doesn't exist, but when one of the actresses shows actual acting skill and wins Sam’s heart at the audition, he is inspired to write a play. Next thing you know Sam and Matt are rehearsing for a staged reading, but unfortunately they have no idea what they're doing. Full of Broadway theater jokes as well as broad humor – think Wedding Crashers meets Waiting for Guffman – Farm Girl in New York is a hilarious romp down the Great White Way.
