Overview

• The feature debuts in cinemas on August 28 with a 105‑minute runtime, a 16+ rating and distribution by Disney‑Fox.
• Positioned as a reimagining rather than a shot‑for‑shot remake, the adaptation draws from Warren Adler’s 1981 novel and the 1989 Danny DeVito film.
• Olivia Colman plays Ivy, a chef on the rise, opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s Theo, an architect facing career collapse, setting off a mounting marital clash.
• Critics and creators highlight a tonal pivot from darker, physical black humor to sharper, talk‑driven comedy that emphasizes the marriage itself.
• The ensemble includes Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Ncuti Gatwa, Allison Janney and others, with Colman and Cumberbatch also serving as executive producers.
