, a comedy starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate , which is set for release on Prime Video on February 11.
The film from director Jason Orley centers on Peter and Emma , total strangers who come to bond over the fact that they were both unexpectedly dumped by their respective partners, Anne and Noah , on the same weekend.
