Plus One 💍

Happy Thursday! I wrote this listening to the cast recording of Stephen Sondheim’s Company, to give you a sense of my mood this week. In movie news, Mission Impossible 7 and A Quiet Place Part II will stream on Paramount+ 45 days after release (another jab at theaters). Today’s movie is a re-up from 2019:

▶ Streaming on Hulu // Today’s movie is Jeff Chan & Andrew Rhymer’s rom-com Plus One. For those yearning for the days when you’d have to go to ten weddings a year this one will hit your right in the gut. Don’t worry, when this is all over you’re in for one hell of a wedding season.

What’s it about: Plus One follows two single friends (PEN15’s Maya Erskine and The Boys’ Jack Quaid) — one recently dumped and the other a commitment-phobe — who agree to be each other’s plus one for the ten weddings they have to attend that summer. One thing leads to another and… well, you know how it goes.
