So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.”

The script was penned by Ilana Wolpert and Will Gluck from a story by Ilana Wolpert.

Sweeney’s co-star Glen Powell can also be seen in the upcoming Richard Linklater film Hit Man, where he plays “a mild-mannered professor who moonlights as an undercover agent for the police, where he poses as a fictional hitman. Things get complicated when he falls in love with one of the people he’s supposed to set up.”
