Overview

• The film opened in cinemas on Thursday, August 28, via Disney–Fox distribution, runs 105 minutes, and is rated 16+.
• Directed by Jay Roach from a Tony McNamara screenplay, it reworks Warren Adler’s material with a more verbal, English‑inflected comedic tone.
• Olivia Colman plays Ivy, a chef on the rise, opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s Theo, an architect facing setbacks as shifting fortunes strain the marriage.
• Cumberbatch and Colman also serve as executive producers, with supporting turns from Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Ncuti Gatwa, Allison Janney and Zoë Chao.
• Critics commend the stars’ performances but question whether the gentler approach captures the original’s acerbic bite and on‑screen spark.
