Trailer for Family Dramedy THE ADULTS Starring Michael Cera and Sophia Lillis

A new trailer has been released for the family dramedy feature The Adults, starring Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Hannah Gross (Mindhunter, Joker), and Sophia Lillis (It, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). The film was written and directed by Dustin Guy Defa (Person to Person).

Here’s the synopsis:

“The Adults, which premiered at Berlinale earlier this year and will stop by Tribeca, follows Eric (Cera) as he returns home for a short visit and finds himself caught between reuniting with his sisters and chasing a victory with his old poker group. As the trip extends, Eric finds it increasingly difficult to avoid confrontations and revelations as his carefully constructed façade of his adulthood gives way to old childhood conflicts. While Maggie (Sophia Lillis) attempts to recreate the intimate world the three of them once shared, Eric and Rachel (Hannah Gross) are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they are now.”

This looks like it might be good. I really like the cast, but it’s hard to tell from the trailer if the story really holds together. I’m willing to give it a shot just based on the actors and premise though. Check out the trailer yourself, and watch The Adults when it opens in theaters on August 18th.
