I’ll watch anything with Aubrey Plaza and Kirsten Stewart. The fact that both actresses star in Cleo Duvall’s “Happiest Season,” alongside the always-wonderful Mackenzie Davis, is reason enough to celebrate. Yes, this is a romantic comedy, but Duvall, who did wonders with 2016’s “The Intervention,” and co-writer Mary Holland, aim to spice up the rom-com recipe.
Stewart, Plaza, and Davis are joined by Alison Brie (!!!), Daniel Levy, Victor Garber, Mary Steenburgen, and Ana Gasteyer. Duvall’s film will debut on Hulu, after the movie’s distribution rights were bought from Sony Pictures in the United States. Pre-COVID, this was going to be released in theaters during the holiday season, but now, well, it’s a freaking Hulu movie.
“Happiest Season” premieres as a Hulu Original film on November 25.
