How far would you go to avoid bankruptcy? During such desperate times, it’s very hard to say no to anything that comes your way! In Glen Stupnitsky’s second film as a director, after the comedy film – ‘Good Boys’, the Ukrainian-born American film director – is also the co-writer of this film which stars Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman.
In desperate need of the car, as she doesn’t want to lose her parent’s home in an increasingly gentrified Montauk area! Having a pattern of dating men for a few months and then ghosting them, Maddie finds this a challenge something that she can easily deal with.
Playing the role of a thirty-two-year-old Uber Driver and bartender in Montauk – New York, Maddie Barker (Jennifer Lawrence) is at a crossroads where she is willing to do anything to save her home after her car has been repossessed by one of her exes.
After coming across a strange yet rather provoking ad on a Craigslist posting, Maddie has hopes that she will at least be able to win a Buick Regal, if she agrees to the bizarre exchange of a parent’s appeal to date their 19-year-old son who is shy and not so confident- Percy (played by Andrew Barth Feldman). Although she does not quite fall in the younger category that her parents want the girl to fall within, she definitely is confident about the experience as a woman that she has to pull this off.
Percy’s parents are helicopter parents and are extremely wealthy Cryptocurrency investors. Percy is a boy who has no experience with girls, parties, drinking and sex; so this becomes quite a bit of a challenge for Maddie! He doesn’t even have any friends and the boy is quite a morose loner.
Dealing with seduction, animal shelters, skinny dipping, drunken teenagers, stolen clothes, a prom, a police chase, alcohol, pepper spray and ibuprofen; this movie is a mix of it all! All of these are new experiences for Percy.
At the same time, Percy’s parents are quite over-protective of their son – tracking every movie their son makes, knowing the password to his cell phone and doing everything in their control to make sure that their son’s existence exemplifies the space-safe generation. However, all of this is unknown to Percy till he overhears a conversation that he was never meant to hear! Will his feelings for Maddie go away overnight or will Maddie begin to actually like Percy?
Although this movie is actually quite a silly one, it is quite entertaining at the same time. After all which parent could actually pimp their own son like this? The irony of this movie is that it was partially inspired by real-life Craigslist posting.
Some of the major film shooting locations include various Nassau County locations in New York, such as Hempstead, Point Lookout, Lawrence and Uniondale.
While the film was released in the United States in June 2023, it was released digitally in August 2023. Grossing % 50.5 million in the United States and Canada and $ 36.5 million in other territories this movie has so far grossed over $ 87 million!
