I can already tell that I Love Boosters is going to be one of those movies I talk about for months after I see it. The film (starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, and Eiza González) is colorful, creative, and artsy in a way that sets it apart from other new movies coming out this spring. I saw the trailer for the first time a few days ago and I'm still thinking about it in a way I haven't been thinking about any other new movies. That's always a good sign in my book! Now all that being said, I Love Boosters is definitely one of the wackiest movies coming out this year, so I did all the research on it so you don't have to. Here's everything you need to know before the movie hits theaters.

Keep reading for the latest update on I Love Boosters, the release date, and the cast before it premieres on May 22, 2026.

What is I Love Boosters about?

This new crime comedy follows a group of shoplifters in a fashion-forward, technicolor world who choose a wealthy fashionista as their next target. Not only is the art design and the plot creative, but the performances are also already catching my attention. I Love Boosters is clearly giving the whole cast the opportunity to do something different than they've done in the past and I'm eating it up.
