Charlie Day and Jenny Slate try to win their exes over in the trailer for I Want You Back
Day and Slate lead the Prime Video rom-com which arrives February 11
If there’s anything we’ve learned from rom-coms of the past, is that elaborate schemes to get your ex back always work out exactly how they’re supposed to, especially when jealousy is involved… Okay no they don’t, but it’s obvious Charlie Day and Jenny Slate’s characters in the new Amazon feature I Want You Back have not watched enough rom-coms to know that.
While crying in an apartment stairwell at the same time, Peter (Day) and Emma (Slate) realize they’ve both been dumped by two people they each think is their soulmate. As both of them wallow in sadness, clutching to the remains of their relationships, their previous partners have moved on to new, hot people. So the pair hatch a sabotage scheme which involves Emma seducing Peter’s ex’s new guy (and maybe Peter’s ex herself from the looks of it), and Peter bro-friending Emma’s ex at the gym. From there the hijinks ensue.
