Alison Brie's latest collaboration with husband Dave Franco is a surprisingly fresh and insightful take on the modern romantic comedy.
Ally is at a crossroads. Her successful reality competition show is suddenly canceled. And while she’d love to go back to her documentary film roots, she’s encouraged instead to take some time for
herself which, in true rom-com fashion, requires this career-driven protagonist to head back to her hometown. There, a chance encounter with Sean , the ex she left behind, has her wondering if she made the right call leaving for L.A. all those years ago. The two still have great chemistry and can egg one another into chugging cheese sauce and every kind of beer available.
You’d be forgiven for thinking Franco and Brie have concocted a grown-up, maudlin-free riff on any given Hallmark movie. That is, until Ally finds out Sean is set to be married—that weekend—to a young, cool, queer, punk rock chick. And once she’s not-so-nakedly flirting with the groom-to-be, Ally must wrestle with whether she wants to emulate Julia Roberts and become that desperate girl trying to mess up a wedding to reclaim what she once lost.
