How many couples reach a certain stage and just have a disconnect? Each find themselves living separate lives and struggling to find harmony. Perhaps, they find, over time, that they have changed, but their partner has not, or maybe they are going in two different directions.
In the movie “You, Me and Her,” married couple Ash (Ritesh Rajan) and Mags (Selina Ringel) struggle to come together. His career is a bit rocky at the moment. He has turned his hobby of weed into a business, while she is in private equity. They both have begun to hide secrets from one another.
But, perhaps a romantic trip to Mexico will do the trick. They leave the baby behind with the nanny and they are on their way. But when they get there, he begins spending most of his time thinking about where to get weed, and she feels restless. When a couple entices them to have a wild time, it is the first step toward leaving their cares behind to pursue something new. Will it bring them together, or tear them apart?
For Mags, it means rediscovering a part of her she had forgotten and maybe means finding a part she did not even know was there. Her blossoming interest in uncovering more of herself leads to a third entering their circle, the suntanned and serene Yoga instructor Angela (Sydney Park) — toppling the apple cart, so to speak, on their somewhat vanilla existence. The idea of a threesome emerges, leaving them anxious and excited for the first time in a long time, and leaving Ash wondering if he ever knew his wife at all.
But making their fantasy come true is not so simple as one thing after another gets in their way. In the process, some unwanted truths get thrown in the mix threatening their very relationship.
This is a fun-to-watch and relatable film to anyone who has had a bit of wild adventure in their life, or who has wanted one. Solid acting and comic moments add to the heart of this comic and dramatic film. The film is directed by Dan Levy Dagerman and written by Ringel. The movie was voted 100% fresh by Rotten Tomatoes!
The film is perfect for Valentines Day as it shows the ups and downs of love, offering a dose of reality, but also hope. It is showing in select theaters beginning February 14. For more information, visit ymhmovie.com.
