Can one week change your mind? Two friends discover what they want in life may be very different in Netflix’s “Your Place Or Mine.” The romantic comedy goes beyond the usual concepts around love — expanding its reach to parental bonds and friendships. Reese Witherspoon stars and produces the project; the actress sees this film as something special for single moms.” ‘Your Place Or Mine’ is kind of a love letter to single moms everywhere. Even if your life didn’t perfectly work out the way you envisioned, there’s hope, and there’s joy, and love can still be found,” she wrote.
Aline Brosh McKenna acts as writer and director on the project. The multi-hyphenate has a long history with successful genre films, working on the screenplays for “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Morning Glory,” and “We Bought a Zoo.” She also created the CW musical comedy series “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” with Rachel Bloom — who appears in “Your Place Or Mine.”
In addition to Witherspoon, the cast includes Ashton Kutcher, Jesse Williams, Zoë Chao, Wesley Kimmel, Griffin Matthews, Shiri Appleby, and Vella Lovell. “Your Place Or Mine” also features Tig Notaro and Steve Zahn performances.
