Freeloaders is an American ensemble comedy film directed by Dan Rosen and written by both Rosen and singer Dave Gibbs. The film is produced by comedy-troupe Broken Lizard and is independently financed. Freeloaders stars Clifton Collins Jr., Josh Lawson, Kevin Sussman, Zoe Boyle, Nat Faxon, Warren Hutcherson, Jane Seymour, Olivia Munn, Dave Foley and Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz. It follows a group of friends who find their luxurious lifestyle threatened when the rock star they freeload off decides to sell his home.

Premise

Six slackers that mooch off Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz and have been crashing at his California mansion for years struggle to maintain their lifestyle when he informs them that he is selling his home. Individually, the friends seek new living arrangements to no avail, so they attempt to prevent the sale of the home altogether, as well as raise money to purchase it.[1][2]

As of October 2010, Freeloaders had entered into post-production and was awaiting distribution.[5] On October 1st, 2010, the film was privately screened by Broken Lizard and Duritz at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.[6] On November 3, 2011, Myriad Pictures acquired all distribution rights to the film outside of North America.[4]
