Cooper Raiff gets the party started in the trailer for Cha Cha Real Smooth starring Dakota Johnson
The Sundance hit also stars Leslie Mann and Brad Garrett
Cooper Raiff’s coming-of-age feature Cha Cha Real Smooth made waves at Sundance Film Festival, where it was the biggest sale of the event. Apple TV+ scooped up Raiff’s sophomore feature for a slick $15 million earlier this year, and has shared the official trailer ahead of its streaming debut.
In addition to writing and directing the feature, Raiff stars in Cha Cha Real Smooth as 22-year-old Andrew, a recent college grad who works at bar and bat mitzvahs as a “party starter” for groups of tweens. It’s at one of these party that he meets Domino (Johnson) and her daughter Lola (Vanessa Burghardt), who has autism. Andrew cultivates a bond with Lola and takes on the job of babysitting the anti-social teen. He also becomes smitten with Domino, despite her being engaged. From there, Andrew faces some hard lessons about love and adulthood.
