Sonia 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, 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 to her 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.
Written, directed and composed by Sasha Gordon, IT HAD TO BE YOU stars Cristin Milioti, Dan Soder, Halley Feiffer, and Mark Gessner.
IT HAD TO BE YOU in theatres October 21, 2016.
