Netflix has today revealed the trailer for Your Place or Mine, the upcoming rom-com starring Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. It begins streaming February 10th, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Reese Witherspoon to Star in Election Sequel Tracy Flick Can’t Win
Reese Witherspoon is going back to high school to star in Tracy Flick Can’t Win, a sequel to 1999’s Election that will find the indomitable Flick as a stressed-out but still ambitious assistant principal.

The cast of Father of the Bride reunited for the first time in 25 years (!) on Friday.

Witherspoon first announced the threequel to 2001’s Legally Blonde and 2003’s Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde back in 2018. At the time, original scribes Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith were expected to serve as screenwriters.
