Premiering to excellent early reviews at TIFF last year, Josh Boone’s Stuck in Love will finally be reaching theatres in a few weeks’ time, bringing us what promises to be a feel-good film of the summer.
With its release on both sides of the Atlantic fast approaching, we’ve got a new UK quad poster to share, along with the UK variant of the trailer we saw back in March.
Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens can’t stop obsessing over, let alone spying on, his ex-wife Erica, who ignominiously left him for another man. Even as his neighbor-with-benefits, Tricia tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else’s charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic; and his teen son Rusty is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.
Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly take the adult leads as the divorced Borgens, with Lily Collins, Logan Lerman, Nat Wolff, and Kristen Bell completing the cast nicely alongside them.
Boone is directing from his own script, with the Emmy-nominated Judy Cairo (Crazy Heart, Elvis) producing.
Previously titled Writers, the film marks the directorial debut for Boone, who has recently been set to helm the adaptation of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, which will be led by Shailene Woodley, making him very much a writer-director to watch in years to come.
Stuck in Love will be released in the UK and US on June 14th. Here’s the UK trailer to remind you what we have to look forward to here. Enjoy.
