Splitsville
Not long into their marriage, Ashley (Arjona) informs Carey (Marvin) that she wants a divorce, and has in fact already been seeing other people. He is utterly devastated. Seeking solace, Carey repairs to the luxurious house of his best friend Paul (Covino) and his wife Julie (Johnson). The happily married Paul and Julie reveal the secret of their longevity: having an open relationship. Carey is surprised, then titillated – and soon he initiates an intense sexual relationship with Julie, to her husband’s utter rage. The hilarious, extended fight scene that ensues is sure to go down in cinematic lore. As the two couples deal with their new realities, Splitsville takes unpredictable, joyous and moving paths. With winning performances by the leads, and a fabulous and very funny turn by Nicholas Braun (Succession) as a melancholic mentalist, this is a witty, stylish and risqué rom-com about sex and love in modern times.
