Home Againis a story of love, friendship, and the families we create, with one very big life lesson: Starting over is not for beginners. The supporting cast also includesLake Bell, Reid Scott and P.J. Byrne, although we don’t see them in this trailer. The film marks the writing and directing debut of Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the daughter of iconic filmmakers Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer, with Nancy Meyers also serving as a producer, alongside Erika Olde.

Open Road Films has set a September 8 release date forHome Again, which isn’t typically a frame that warrants much attention from theater goers, but that may change this year. New Line Cinema will also debut their long-awaited theatrical remake ofITon September 8, the only other new release going up againstHome Again. Since they are both aimed at vastly different movie audiences, withITcatering to horror fans, whileHome Againwill be aiming at the same demographic forNancy Meyersmovies, it’s certainly possible that they both could flourish on the same weekend.
