Kiernan Shipka's 'Sweethearts' Gives Thanksgiving The Rom-Com Treatment
The holidays are about spending time with your loved ones and eating a ton of good food. And apparently it's also time for breakups. In Max's new movie, Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga play two best friends trying to navigate friendship, relationships, and adulthood during their first year at college. When they make a pact to break up with their significant others, they wind up having one of the most chaotic nights of their lives, presumably on Drunksgiving (when people party the Wednesday before Thanksgiving).
It's unclear whether this movie will wind up on our list of favorite friends-to-loversstories, or if the relationship between Shipka and Hiraga's characters will stay platonic. Either way, we don't get many Thanksgiving-themed movies, and I'll take every one we can get! Here's everything you need to know about Sweethearts, on Max this fall.
