Leah McKendrick, de filmmaker achter de indie-hit Scrambled, regisseert een nieuwe romantische komedie die twee genre-favorieten in de hoofdrollen plaatst. Nick Robinson en Zoey Deutch zijn de hoofdrolspelers van het project, dat ook Nick Offerman en een sterk ensemble van ondersteunende spelers bevat.
The film assembles an impressive group of actors known for both dramatic and comedic work. Lukas Gage, Harry Shum Jr., Ciara Bravo, Megan Danso, Toby Sandeman, Spencer Lord and Gil Bellows round out the cast. Their combined credits span major studio comedies and acclaimed television series.
The narrative follows Jill, played by Deutch, who is navigating her career as a chef in San Francisco while dealing with the loss of her younger sister Isabelle, portrayed by Bravo. Isabelle died from cystic fibrosis. Jill continues to call her sister’s old phone number to share updates about her life. The number has since been reassigned to the work phone of Austin real estate agent Wes, played by Robinson, who begins receiving the messages.
What starts as a series of one-sided calls evolves into a romantic comedy filled with humor and emotional moments. The story explores themes of loss, connection and moving forward through an unusual premise.
Music plays a significant role in the film. A Robyn song that holds special meaning for the sisters serves as a key element. The soundtrack also includes as many as three Taylor Swift songs. Details on the complete needle-drop list appear in coverage of the production.
