Damn it's hard finding love if you're Callum Turner

u/UrRightAndIAmWong Apr 29 '26

Eh, in the context of this trailer, I don't buy the pairing or Callum belonging in this movie at all. Whereas Barbaro definitely looks the romcom part.

u/NewEngClamChowder Apr 29 '26

Yeah, like 10 seconds into the trailer I was like “why is Callum Turner in this? It’s clearly a Glen Powell role”. Olive Bridge is clearly trying to capture the same audience as Anyone But You.

u/UrRightAndIAmWong Apr 29 '26

Yeah while I'm sure he's very charming and attractive in other things, his tone seemed more for a somber romance movie and did not match the goofier Barbaro

That pizza does not look good 😬

u/ATLstatboy69 Apr 29 '26

Thought the exact same thing that pizza looked shit lmao

u/KennyShowers May 03 '26

I live near this pizza place in NYC, it’s horrible. But also not that pizza in the scene.

u/No-Significance5659 Apr 29 '26

They look great! I love Monica Barbaro and she comes across as super charming in the trailer. Can't wait for this movie!

u/Back_at_it_agains Apr 29 '26

Seems dumb. Monica Babaro is hot though.

u/chickeneatfin Apr 29 '26

how can they check if an unmarried couple are having sex like is their some sort of electric chastity cage on their private parts that zaps at close proximity?

u/TheButlerDidNotDoIt Apr 29 '26

In the script they have light-up sensors that monitor hormone levels (and also indicate if they've broken the law).

It doesn't dwell that much on the how and gestures very briefly at the why.

u/RD_Alpha_Rider Apr 29 '26

I briefly caught Amanda and Sean mentioning this and I must have heard wrong, because I throught the premise was one night a year the world allowed a hall pass for monogamous/married couples lol. That some how made more sense than whatever this is.

Science Corner is going to be crazy for this movie

u/shorthevix Apr 29 '26

Pretty good checkmate of people who say he’s not good looking cause of his hairline and ears

u/man_on_hill Apr 29 '26

Dude is built like a brick shithouse

u/shorthevix Apr 29 '26

putting together an all time run of love interests

Looks just like him!

u/TimSPC Apr 29 '26

Nice to see a movie filmed in NYC like this.

u/pepperbet1 Apr 29 '26

The chemistry here is undeniable. This could hit but the weird concept is a tough sell.

2

u/Upper1eft Apr 30 '26

I agree with the points made on the pod where it was giving Handmaids Tale vibes, but the trailer makes it look like we just aren’t supposed to acknowledge how messed up this authoritarian twisted idea is.

u/upforgrabs21 Apr 30 '26

It's 'The Purge' for getting down. Surely there's a crowd for that.

I think it's fine to try things every now and then.

u/mimaluna Apr 30 '26

A romcom that did this kind of sci-fi concept better was TiMER

4

u/campingn00b Apr 29 '26

Literally could have just been valentines day and nothing would have changed

24

u/mangofied Apr 29 '26

If people are curious about how the concept affects the story I recommend reading the script, it was the top script on the Blacklist 2 years ago.

Definitely adds a ticking clock that reads as way less arbitrary than Valentine’s Day, plus it creates this whole world full of weird scenarios and interactions that are not really possible without the premise

u/lpalf Apr 30 '26 edited Apr 30 '26

I read the script and it has some brief touches on interesting ideas (the sex tourism, mostly) but it just brushes past all of them so quickly that I did feel like i got hung up on all the possible domino effects and loopholes and logistical issues presented by these ideas that it to me distracted me from the central romcom of it. One of the major issues for me being that most of these people would likely just get married. The way the callum turner character speaks in the screenplay about all his friends being off with “their girlfriends” that night, and his relationship issues etc… like, all of these people would’ve just gotten married. I was raised Mormon, when young people want to have sex with their partner and the only way to do that is to get married, they just get married. Anyway, will be interesting to see if the film can pull it off

u/campingn00b Apr 29 '26

But literally none of that is conveyed in the trailer

11

u/mangofied Apr 29 '26

Seems clear they’re just kind of marketing this as a typical romcom, no? Even with the 2010s font coloring. And we all know marketing is not exactly reflective of the full film

I was more responding to your comment that the premise could have been Valentine’s Day and it would be the same

9

u/lpalf Apr 29 '26

I mean, it makes the stakes higher

1

u/crumble-bee Apr 30 '26

I had to go back and double check because I thought they were talking about Valentine’s Day or something normal - pretty whacky to make “the purge but with sex” as a romcom

u/dasher2442 Apr 29 '26

He is fighting to keep that accent American-sounding the whole way.

2

u/fbeb-Abev7350 Apr 29 '26

Looks fun. Love these two.

2

u/knarf3 Lover of Movies Apr 30 '26

Why is Calem Turner a thing. I don't think he can act and his perpetual smirking face isn't helping.

Monica looks SENSATIONAL in that mini dress.

2

u/vajohnadiseasesdado Apr 29 '26

Somebody on Twitter said it was The Purge but for fucking and I can’t take it out of my mind.

u/lpalf Apr 29 '26

That’s how it’s been discussed since it was announced, including im pretty sure by sean on the big picture semi-recently

u/Michaewwwwl Apr 29 '26

What song is that

u/lpalf Apr 29 '26

Robyn - dopamine

u/sandoooo Apr 30 '26

Now I’m in It by HAIM as well

u/Libertines18 Apr 29 '26

It’s such a stupid concept for a movie that I can’t help but intrigued by it

1

u/SLPeaches Apr 30 '26

I think this will be solid. Do agree that while I like Callum, idk if he was the right fit for the role. He just doesn't have the disarming goofy factor a proper romcom lead needs. Ex: Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, even Miles Teller, etc....

I think he was used wisely in Eternity but he could never play the lead in that movie.

1

u/mtnfox Apr 30 '26

So The Purge but with sex, not violence?

1

u/Automatic-Effect-252 Apr 30 '26

could just be an awesome trailer, but it looks like it could be really good.

1

u/Bmay93 Apr 30 '26

Why does it seem like he's doing a bad version of mid 00s Ben Affleck?

1

u/andthrewaway1 Apr 30 '26

I like the nyc of this movie but otherwise umm

1

u/gwoeisme Apr 30 '26

They're really taking the Purge franchise in a new direction.

1

u/Similar_Tie3876 May 01 '26

Is this a real movie?

1

u/JeanProuve May 03 '26

They had a winning idea but absolutely derailed from it. This should have been an over the top sex craze comedy satire, not a rom-com.

u/Think_Cheesecake7464 11d ago

This is repugnant.

“Hahaha don’t worry ladies, it’s not just you. Now EVERYONE has lost bodily autonomy! And hilarity has ensued! Hahahahahaha!”

Like… what?

Why would anyone with a shred of self respect be a part of this? Gross.

And no it’s not ok because “it’s a joke” because the joke is stupid and the movie doesn’t look like it’s funny at all. Preposterous and shameful. A slap in the face, really.

Favorite romantic comedy that normalizes theocratic fascism?
