They talked about finding a tonal balance in a film about grief with many comedic elements and putting together a cast of unlikely characters to match the tone.

Official Synopsis:

Renn Wheeland (Nick Jonas) returns home to Cleveland for his mother’s funeral. Once there, he forges new relationships while healing old ones (featuring co-stars Brittany Snow, David Arquette, Alexandra Shipp, Matt Walsh and Elisabeth Shue), before confronting his problems and trying to face his grief.

In select theaters July 23rd and 25th, 2024.
