Mack & Rita

August 7, 2022

This is Aselton’s first time back in the directors chair since the romantic comedy The Freebie, where she starred alongside Dax Shepard (2010), followed by the horror thriller Black Rock, where she starred with Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth. She does not play a role in this film.

When 30-year-old self-proclaimed homebody Mack Martin (Elizabeth Lail) reluctantly joins a Palm Springs bachelorette trip for her best friend Carla (Taylour Paige), her inner 70-year-old is released -- literally. The frustrated writer and influencer magically transforms into her future self: "Aunt Rita" (Oscar®-winner Diane Keaton). Freed from the constraints of other people's expectations, Rita comes into her own, becoming an unlikely social media sensation and sparks a tentative romance with Mack's adorable dog-sitter, Jack (Dustin Milligan). A sparkling comedy with a magical twist, Mack & Rita celebrates being true to yourself at any age.

Co-stars include Simon Rex, Nicole Byer, Patti Harrison, Loretta Devine, and Wendie Malick.
