Ashton Kutcher Makes Rom-Com Comeback with Netflix’s ‘Your Place or Mine’ Starring with Reese Witherspoon

Two of rom-com’s most celebrated stars team up for the first time for Netflix’s upcoming rom-com Your Place or Mine. 

Since the duo announced the film's shooting, a generation of rom-com fans have been elated and eagerly counting the days to the debut. 

Well, now, it's just a matter of weeks counting till we get to see Kutcher's and Witherspoon's on-screen chemistry.

Kutcher and Witherspoon star as Peter and Debbie, who've been buddies for two decades. Though they had a one-night stand and have some sort of chemistry, they are now platonic friends and quite opposites. Peter is a marketing executive based in New York who enjoys change, while Debbie is a by-the-book single mom of her teenage son Jack (Wesley Kimmel), living in Los Angeles. 

Debbie and Peter trade houses and lives for a week to discover new insights. Debbie sparks a new friendship with Peter's eccentric neighbor, portrayed by Zoë Chao (The Afterparty). She also finds herself falling for devilishly handsome Theo starring Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams. 

Meanwhile, Peter realizes that Debbie might be more than a friend to him and starts to feel jealous of her newfound relationship. 

The oldest trick in the rom-com book emerges- a love triangle where Debbie must decide between her overly familiar platonic friend Peter or the new love interest Theo.

Apart from the above mentioned, Your Place or Mine stars stand-up comedian Tig Notaro as Debbie’s friend, Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Steve Zahn (Daddy Day Care), Shiri Appleby (Unreal), Griffin Matthews and Vella Lovell (The Big Sick).

Your Place or Mine is directed by Aline Brosh McKenna, who helmed the script for the rom-coms The Devil Wears Prada and 27 Dresses. 

The film’s producers include Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan for Aggregate Films, Brosh McKenna for her Lean Machine corp, and Lauren Neustadter and Reese Witherspoon for Hello Sunshine.
