Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s romantic comedy film, ‘The Best You Can’, is set to arrive on Netflix on December 25th in the United States. The film, which has skipped a theatrical release, was directly released by Sony Pictures to home video and physical media on November 25th. This marks the start of a first window deal between Sony Pictures and Netflix, which will see the streaming giant receive exclusive rights to the film for an 18-month period.
The movie, directed by Andy Wierthorn, tells the story of Cynthia Rand, a New York City urologist, whose life is turned upside down when her husband begins to slide into dementia. Stan Olszewski, an underachieving security guard, played by Kevin Bacon, drifts through life without much direction. The film also stars Kyra Sedgwick as Cynthia Rand, Judd Hirsch as Warren Rand, Ray Romano as Doug Finkelman, Misha Brooks as Henry Gallo, Heather Burns as Rosemary, and Rob Benedict as Rob. The film’s official synopsis can be found on the official Sony Pictures site.
Andy Wierthorn serves as both the writer and director of the film, having previously worked on several major series, including ‘The King of Queens’, ‘Family Ties’, ‘Ned and Stacey’, and ‘True Colors’. The film’s cast and crew bring to life the story of two people, Cynthia and Stan, who find themselves navigating the challenges of life, love, and loss. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June, where it received reviews from critics.
