The 2019 comedy reunites a bunch of Saturday Night Live alumni including Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Paula Pell. Former SNL writers Emily Spivey and Liz Cackowski co-wrote the screenplay from a story they developed with Amy Poehler. Poehler also directed and produced the comedy.

The cast also features Cherry Jones, Maya Erskine, and Jason Schwartzman. The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Tom Magill, editor Julie Monroe, and production designer Keith P. Cunningham, with music by Lisa Coleman.

The Plot:

“In honor of Rebecca’s (Dratch) 50th birthday, Abby (Poehler) plans a scenic Napa getaway with their best, longtime friends. Workaholic Catherine (Gasteyer), post-op Val (Pell), homebody Jenny (Spivey), and weary mom Naomi (Rudolph) are equally sold on the chance to relax and reconnect. Yet as the alcohol flows, real world uncertainties intrude on the punchlines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures.”
