Need more rom-coms in your life? How about Thanksgiving movies? (There’s only so many of those, after all.) Well, Max has you covered with their new upcoming flick Sweethearts.
The coming-of-age romantic comedy follows two college freshmen who make a pact to pull a “Turkey Dump” – ie, break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break. The result? A chaotic night out in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test.
Check out the trailer for Sweethearts below.
The film stars Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga as its leads. Shipka’s recent film credits include Twisters, Longlegs, and Totally Killer; she also held long-running TV roles on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Mad Men. You’ve seen Hiraga in The Power, Rosaline, Booksmart, and Ballers.
The extended cast also includes Caleb Hearon, Tramell Tillman, Ava Demary, Charlie Hall, Joel Kim Booster, and Christine Taylor.
The film comes from Dollface creator Jordan Weiss, who co-wrote the script with Dan Brier. It also serves as Weiss’ directorial debut. Both Weiss and Brier serve as executive producers. Additional EPs include Picturestart’s Julia Hammer, Samie Kim Falvey, and Shayne Fiske Goldner.
Sweethearts officially premieres on Max Thursday, November 28 (ie, Thanksgiving).
