It's no secret that Amy Poehler fans have been anxiously awaiting a trailer for the star's directorial debut, Wine Country, for a while now - and Netflix has finally delivered.

The movie, which stars the dream team of Poehler, Tina Fay and Maya Rudolph, sees a bunch of longtime friends reconnect for a vacation in, you guessed it, Napa (AKA wine country) - celebrating one of the group's 50th birthday.

And, well, it looks hilarious.

The movie's all-star lineup also includes Rachel Dratch, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, Cherry Jones and Jason Schwartzman.

In the collaboration of our dreams, Poehler reportedly thought up the story-line alongside Spivey and Liz Cackowski, with the screenplay then written by Spivey and Cackowski. It is the first time Poehler has directed a feature-length film.

In a rare move, Netflix will be dropping the film on their international streaming platform and in cinemas across the United States - an indication they may be hoping to clean up at next year's award season, which requires cinematic release.
