“Two best friends, one breakup pact…what can go wrong?” Max has revealed the trailer for a fun romantic comedy movie called Sweethearts, about two college freshmen getting into some romantic trouble. From the creator of “Dollface” comes an original movie – which is skipping theaters and will be out on streaming on Max at the end of November. Two college freshmen pull a “Turkey Dump” and break up with their high school sweethearts over “Drunksgiving” – the one chaotic night before Thanksgiving in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test. Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga star as the best friends, with Charlie Hall, Jake Bongiovi, Caleb Hearon, Tramell Tillman, and Christine Taylor. This is a very New Jersey movie – it was shot in Jersey City and Cranford, and at Ramapo College in Mahwah. This looks surprisingly smart and unique and upbeat, featuring some really clever humor that might actually get you to laugh. Where did this come from?! I’d say it deserves to be playing in theaters not just on streaming.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jordan Weiss’ film Sweethearts, direct from Max’s YouTube:
Two college freshmen (Kiernan Shipka & Nico Hiraga) decide to make a pact to break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break, leading them on a chaotic night out in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test. Sweethearts is directed by American screenwriter / filmmaker Jordan Weiss, making her feature directorial debut after creating & writing the “Dollface” series, and on animated “Harley Quinn” series. The screenplay is co-written by Jordan Weiss and Dan Brier. Produced by Erik Feig and Jessica Switch. This hasn’t premiered at any fests, as far as we know. New Line Cinema debuts Weiss’ comedy Sweethearts streaming on Max directly starting November 28th, 2024. Look any good?
