It Had to Be You — Trailer

added: Tue, Oct 4th '16

Former Broadway star and "How I Met Your Mother" actress Cristin Milioti has a hard time committing to her boyfriend in the trailer for the will-you-marry-me comedy "It Had to Be You."

In this indie rom-com, Milioti plays Sonia, a commitment-phobic woman who, despite her strong opposition to marriage, has fallen in love with her commitment-ready boyfriend, Chris (played by Dan Soder; Showtime's Billions). So when Sonia finds out that Chris is thinking of proposing to her, she does what any good person with a fear of marriage would do -- she freaks out! And she takes the next couple of days to really think about it, because her decision, in either case, could ruin the relationship for good.

Written and directed by TV composer-turned-first-time filmmaker Sasha Gordon and executive produced by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter), "It Had to Be You" co-stars Halley Feiffer, Mark Gessner, Kate Simses, and Kyle Mooney. The film is due out on October 21.

synopsis:
Sonia (Cristin Milioti) is a quirky, neurotic jingle writer who has always dreamt of a big and exciting life. Surprised by a sudden proposal and subsequent ultimatum from her easy-going boyfriend, Chris (Dan Soder), Sonia has three days to decide whether she'll join the ranks of her married friends or take a leap and pursue her fantasies. Blinded by anxiety, and pulled towards a fantastical idea of becoming the kind of woman she always idealized in films and literature, Sonia decides she isn't ready to get married. Instead she will go on a solo trip to Rome and finally shed her inhibitions. However, reality quickly catches up as her journey proves a lot bumpier than the idyllic "Eat Pray Love" she’d envisioned. A whimsical romantic comedy that's raunchy and yet gentle, "It Had To Be You" explores the choices women face today while satirizing cultural expectations of gender and romance.
