Splitsville: A Comedy on Hulu
First up, “Splitsville,” a relationship comedy that’s landing on Hulu starting Feb 2nd. The film is from the duo behind “The Climb” and stars Dakota Johnson alongside Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin. Co-writer Jake Coyle describes it as belonging to a screwball tradition, making it worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something light and wry.
But wait, there’s more.
Another addition is “Ella McCay,” directed by James L. Brooks, starring Emma Mackey as an ambitious lieutenant governor. The AP’s Jocelyn Noveck calls it bafflingly disjointed, but the film offers a chance to watch Emma in action.
