00:00Okay, wait. Are you really in love if you've never thought about doing something completely crazy for someone who doesn't
00:06even realize how perfect you two are together? I mean, not tying someone to a bed crazy let's be clear,
00:12that's not okay in real life but in a movie? Oh yeah. That's exactly what happens in the new Molly
00:17Gordon comedy, oh, hi. And honestly? It's kind of genius.
00:21You all, I'm not joking when I say this movie might just be the most awkwardly real and weirdly sweet
00:27rom-com of 2025. And today, we're diving deep like, deeper than a first date therapy overshare deep into oh,
00:34hi. We're talking the release date, the cast that's absolutely stacked, the plot that had me screaming, and honestly? Why
00:42this might be the most relatable love story you'll see all year.
00:45But before we get into all of that, if you've ever felt even a little bit insane while falling in
00:50love don't lie, we all have then this is your space. This is our community. Hit that like button, subscribe
00:56if you feel seen, and comment below with the weirdest thing you've ever done for love. No judgment. Only honesty.
01:03Okay. So let's get into it. Let's start with the release date, because trust me, you're gonna want to mark
01:09your calendars.
01:10Oh, hi. It's coming to theaters on July 25th, 2025. That's right in the middle of summer. While everyone else
01:17is watching superheroes punch each other or crying over Oscar bait, we're gonna be in the theater laughing our faces
01:23off and maybe, crying a little too? Right now, that's only confirmed for the US if you're watching from the
01:29UK or somewhere else, hang tight. We don't have your official release date yet, but it's coming. Sony Pictures Classics
01:36is behind this, so you know they'll get it to you eventually.
01:39Now let's talk about the cast. Because, wow. This lineup? It's giving chaotic good energy, and I am here for
01:47it. Leading the charge is Molly Gordon. You've probably seen her in Booksmart, Shiva Baby, Theater Camp, or The Bear.
01:54Yeah, she's returning in The Bear Season 4 too.
01:57Molly is hilarious, but she also has this super raw way of making you feel seen. Like she understands what
02:03it's like to be the friend who's too much and not enough all at once. She plays Iris, our main
02:08character. Iris is in love. She thinks she's found her person.
02:12Enter Isaac, played by Logan Lerman. Yes, that Logan Lerman. Percy Jackson himself. The perks of being a wallflower legend.
02:21Most recently in Hunters, Bullet Train, and We Were the Lucky Ones. He's like if your high school crush grew
02:27up and started reading poetry in coffee shops. You know the type.
02:31Anyway, Iris and Isaac go on their first romantic getaway. And that's when things, unravel. In the funniest, most uncomfortable,
02:39but also kind of beautiful way possible.
02:41Also in the cast? Geraldine V. Swinathan you know her from Blockers, Hala, and the upcoming Thunderbolts movie. She's got
02:49this dry humor that's just chef's kiss. Then there's John Reynolds from Yellow Jackets, who always brings that offbeat charm.
02:56And comedy royalty David Cross from Arrested Development. That man could make reading a receipt funny. Okay. Let's get into
03:03the plot. And y'all, it's wild. Here's the official summary.
03:07Iris has met her perfect guy, Isaac, and is enjoying their first romantic getaway together. What could go wrong? Sounds
03:14simple, right? Wrong. This movie dives head first into the messiest parts of modern dating. Like, you know that feeling
03:22when things are going so well, it actually makes you panic? Like you're waiting for the moment it all falls
03:27apart? That's what Iris is dealing with. She's terrified of losing Isaac. She loves him maybe too much. And in
03:34her anxiety, she does something unthinkable.
03:36Something ridiculous. Something that turns their romantic weekend into something more like a hostage situation. But here's the crazy part.
03:45It's funny. It's not creepy. It's not scary. It's awkward. It's sad. It's real. It's like watching every intrusive thought
03:54you've ever had about love play out on screen but somehow, it's charming.
03:57The writing is next level. That's thanks to Sophie Brooks, who both wrote and directed Oh, Hi. She previously made
04:04The Boy Downstairs, and she's clearly someone who gets human emotion. She doesn't just write jokes. She writes truth. Even
04:11when that truth is uncomfortable. Even when it's irrational. Even when it's a little unhinged.
04:16And yes this story was developed by Brooks and Gordon themselves. Which makes sense, because Molly Gordon plays Iris like
04:23she's lived in her skin for years.
04:25Now, I want to pause for a second and ask you something personal. Have you ever been afraid to lose
04:30someone before you even had them?
04:32Like, truly felt that panic like you had something so good, it couldn't possibly be real? That's what this movie
04:38captures.
04:39And I think that's why it hits so hard. Because even though it's technically a comedy, Oh, Hi. Is also
04:45about the fear that we're too much. The fear that we'll ruin something good just by being ourselves.
04:51Iris isn't a villain. She's not crazy. She's just scared. And yeah, her fear makes her do something absolutely insane
04:58but it's also so painfully human that you kinda get it.
05:01You laugh at her. But you also root for her. And you kinda see yourself in her, too. That's what
05:07makes this movie stand out. It's not trying to be a perfect rom-com. It's trying to be an honest
05:12one.
05:13Now, as for the reviews this thing premiered at Sundance, and it got some seriously good buzz. It's currently rated
05:19fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and critics are calling it charming, clever, and deliciously awkward.
05:25It's not gonna be for everyone. If you're not into offbeat humor or cringe comedy, you might struggle a little.
05:31But if you've ever sent a risky text, cried over a situationship, or overanalyzed someone's punctuation you're gonna love this.
05:38Behind the scenes, we've got production companies like Cliffbrook Films, QW Gmire, and Watermark Media making it happen. And again,
05:47Sony Pictures Classics is the one bringing it to theaters worldwide.
05:50The producers are David Brooks, Dan Clifton, and Julie Walters all names that don't get thrown around lightly in the
05:57indie world. So yeah. This movie has talent. It has heart. And it has that raw, messy, beautiful chaos that
06:04makes you wanna laugh and cry at the same time.
06:06And let's be real, when was the last time a rom-com actually felt real? We live in a world
06:12where dating feels like a battlefield. Ghosting. Breadcrumbing. Mixed signals. Dating apps that make you feel disposable. It's a lot.
06:21But oh, hi! Doesn't just show the good parts of falling in love. It shows the dark, weird, vulnerable parts
06:28too. And that's what makes it special.
06:30So here's my question for you. What would you do if you thought you were losing the person you love?
06:35Would you tie them to a bed? Please don't. Would you fight for them? Would you run? Or would you,
06:41like Iris, make a terrible decision just to hold on a little longer? Comment below. Seriously. Let's talk about it.
06:49Because that's what this space is about.
06:51It's not just about movies. It's about the feelings they bring up. The way they reflect our real lives. Our
06:58real relationships. Our real fears. We've all been Iris. We've all wanted something too much. We've all messed it up.
07:05And if you haven't yet, just wait.
07:07But here's the good news. Love isn't about being perfect. It's about being real. Flawed. Honest. A little crazy. Maybe
07:15but in the best way. And if a movie like Oh, Hi! Can make us laugh at our own chaos,
07:21maybe that's exactly what we need. So. Final reminder. Oh, Hi! Drops in theaters July 25, 2025. Grab your friends.
07:31Grab your ex. Grab that almost situationship who never texted you back. Go see this movie.
