Melissa Rauch Stars in the Raunchy Comedy The Bronze

Posted on February 2, 2016

The Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch is an Olympic bronze medalist who returns to her hometown in the trailer for the raunchy gymnastics comedy The Bronze. Melissa plays Hope Annabelle Greggory, who won the bronze medal in women's gymnastics. She would have won the gold but had a terrible accident on the balance beam.

She appeared on Dancing With the Stars, but now is back in her small hometown with her postman father (Gary Cole). She lives for her celebrity status which gets her free food and drinks. She may look like America's Sweetheart, but she curses like a sailor, steals for pocket money and generally is an absolutely vile person.

One day a rising star comes to town Maggie Townsend (Haley Lu Richardson) and Hope is not happy. But she soon realizes that Maggie is her ticket back to stardom. Soon she's coaching the new star and teaching her all the best tricks for winning over the judges. Melissa is absolutely hilarious in this film which gives a very dark and twisted look at what it takes to become an Olympic champion -- and what happens when it's all over.

Thomas Middlemarch, Sebastian Stan and Cecily Strong co-star in the hilarious comedy which premiered at Sundance. Melissa wrote the screenplay with her husband Winston Rauch. It was directed by Bryan Buckley. The film is set to hit theaters on March 18, 2016. Take a look:
