The film production company, Neon, recently released the trailer for 'Splitsville', which revolves around two couples who explore non-monogamy and face various consequences after one couple begins to reckon with a possible divorce.

The trailer shows Arjona's character Ashley telling her husband Carey (Kyle Marvin) that she wants a divorce and has cheated on him, reported People.

In response, he seeks advice from his friends Julie (Johnson) and Paul (writer-director Michael Angelo Covino) and learns they've embarked on an open marriage.

After learning about his friends' open marriage, Carey and Julie hook up, but Paul grows incredibly angry upon learning this, throwing all four characters' friendships and relationships with each other into question. As the trailer shows, physical fights, arguments, and car crashes ensue, as reported by People.

"After Ashley asks for a divorce, good-natured Carey runs to his friends, Julie and Paul, for support," reads an official synopsis for the movie.

It adds, "He's shocked to discover that the secret to their happiness is an open marriage, that is until Carey crosses the line and throws all of their relationships into chaos."

The movie's cast also features Succession alum Nicholas Braun, David Castaneda and O-T Fagbenle, reported People.

Splitsville releases in select theatres on August 22 and hits theatres everywhere on September 5.

Western concepts like open marriage shown as "cool" but never show the emotional damage it causes. Our Indian family values are much stronger - marriage is about commitment, not convenience. Still, Dakota Johnson's acting looks promising!

Looks like another Hollywood attempt to normalize broken relationships 😅 In India we have enough drama in our saas-bahu serials without needing open marriage plots! But the trailer does look entertaining - will probably watch when it streams.

Interesting concept! While it may not align with Indian cultural norms, it's good cinema explores different relationship dynamics. Dakota Johnson always chooses unique roles 👏 Hope the movie has more depth than just chaotic comedy though.

These kind of movies influence urban Indian youth more than we realize. While creative freedom is important, filmmakers should also show responsible portrayals of relationships. The car crashes in trailer look over-the-top though! 🤣

As someone who enjoys rom-coms, this looks fresh! Not saying I agree with open marriages, but it's good to see different perspectives. Adria Arjona's performance seems particularly strong in the trailer. Will wait for OTT release though - not theater worthy for me.
