The Max Original film Sweethearts, starring Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga, debuts very soon on Max, the first look images are here and we’re ready to analyze them. Join us!
Ready?
In Sweethearts, two college freshmen make a pact to break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break, leading them on a chaotic night out in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test.
Apart from Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga, Sweethearts features Caleb Hearon, Tramell Tillman, Ava Demary, Charlie Hall, Joel Kim Booster, and Christine Taylor. Here’s the first look!
In the first image, we see the two main characters in what seems to be a cute moment between them and we wonder if this is when they make the pact… or maybe they are just encouraging each other to keep it.
In the second image, we see them ready to spend a night of fun and madness together in “Drunksgiving” – the one chaotic night before Thanksgiving. The question is, will their friendship survive that night? We are not so sure. Although we hope so, and maybe it will become something more? Who knows.
The third image is the one that has us most confused. The first thing we think when we see it is that he could be our protagonist’s boyfriend, since it seems that he is in her room but he seems too old for a first-year college student, so who is he?
Sweethearts is from New Line Cinema, Picturestart, and Dollface creator Jordan Weiss. Jordan Weiss makes her directorial debut and co-wrote the script with Dan Brier. The film is produced by Picturestart’s Erik Feig and Jessica Switch. Executive producers include Picturestart’s Julia Hammer, Samie Kim Falvey, and Shayne Fiske Goldner; as well as Jordan Weiss and Dan Brier.
Sweethearts debuts Thursday, November 28 on Max.
