Starring and directed by Wilde, comes from a script written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack and also stars Seth Rogen, Ed Norton, Penelope Cruz. The sexual rom-com is a remake of the Spanish language film Sentimental , and sees Rogen and Wilde play a married couple on the rocks who host a dinner party with a communicative and passionate couple portrayed by Norton and Cruz."
"What this project taught me was it's actually OK to have non-negotiables going into something... this time I was like, 'Guys, what if we just do it the way we've always wanted to do it?' And it was so rewarding that it made me think, that's what I want to do. It's impossible. It'll never happen again. But I'm really happy."
