WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Movie star Olivia (Weaving) is caught by the paparazzi having an affair with the married Vincent (Greenfield). To avoid a PR disaster, Olivia seeks the help of hard-working valet Antonio (Derbez) – who happened to also be in the picture – to pose as her boyfriend in order to sway the press. However, as they try to keep up their ruse, Antonio and Olivia learn to be better versions of themselves with each other…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Eugenio Derbez, recently seen in Best Picture winner CODA, makes a good on-screen team with Samara Weaving, who leans heavily into her comedic side for this funny and charming remake of the similarly-titled French comedy.
