The protagonists of the forthcoming rom-com I Want You Back know that nothing brings two perfect strangers together quite like the mutual anguish of a breakup. Before it hits streaming on February 11th, Amazon Prime Studios has shared the film’s official trailer, starring Charlie Day and Jenny Slate.
