Your Place or Mine (film)

Your Place or Mine is a 2023 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Aline Brosh McKenna in her directorial debut.

The film stars Reese Witherspoon (who also produced) and Ashton Kutcher as best friends who end up swapping houses for a week.

In Los Angeles in 2003, after an evening of playing poker with another couple, Debbie Dunn and Peter Coleman have sex and spend the night together in her home.

He has moved to NYC and become a successful businessman, while she still lives in Los Angeles and works as an accountant at her son Jack's middle school.

Debbie calls Peter on his birthday, and they discuss her plans to head to NYC soon to complete an accounting program to help her get a better-paying job.

He gets skybox tickets to a Los Angeles Kings game and encourages Jack to invite along two classmates, but this goes awry when they ignore him.

The website's consensus reads: "Well-cast but lacking much of a spark, Your Place or Mine hits the standard genre beats just competently enough to remind the viewer of countless superior alternatives.
