Open Road has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming romantic comedyHome Again. Written and directed byHallie Meyers-Shyerin her directorial debut, the film starsReese Witherspoonas a woman recently separated from her husband who meets three aspiring filmmakers and allows them to live in her guest house. Romantic entanglements ensue, and matters are further complicated when her ex-husband (Michael Sheen) shows up.
There’s a strongNancy Meyersvibe to this trailer, which isn’t surprising given that Meyers produced the filmandMeyers-Shyer happens to be her daughter. The romantic comedy genre has been at a standstill for years now, so I’d love nothing more than for a solid romcom to hit theaters. Witherspoon is certainly on a roll coming off tremendous performances inBig Little LiesandWild, and the cast here is swell, so I’m certainly willing to give this one a shot.
Watch theHome Againtrailer below. The film also starsPico Alexander,Nat Wolff,Lake Bell, andCandice Bergen.Home Againopens in theaters on September 8th.
Here’s the official synopsis forHome Again:
HOME AGAIN stars Reese Witherspoon (“Big Little Lies,” Wild, Walk The Line, Sweet Home Alabama) as Alice Kinney in a modern romantic comedy. Recently separated from her husband, (Michael Sheen), Alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of Los Angeles with her two young daughters. During a night out on her 40th birthday, Alice meets three aspiring filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live. Alice agrees to let the guys stay in her guest house temporarily, but the arrangement ends up unfolding in unexpected ways. Alice’s unlikely new family and new romance comes to a crashing halt when her ex-husband shows up, suitcase in hand. HOME AGAIN is a story of love, friendship, and the families we create. And one very big life lesson: Starting over is not for beginners.
