I Want You Back (2022)
In Atlanta, thirty-somethings Peter and Emma are each dumped by their respective romantic partners: Peter’s girlfriend Anne feels stifled by the complacency of their six-year relationship, and Emma’s boyfriend Noah is discouraged by her lack of responsibility. Peter and Emma are both heartbroken, but after a chance meeting they become friends and try to help one another navigate their breakups. Emma confides in Peter that she considered Noah her “airplane safety mask person”: the person she loved so much that she’d put on his emergency airplane oxygen mask before her own, which Peter dismisses as a silly thing to ever do. One desperate night, Emma and Peter devise a strategy to win back their exes by breaking up their new relationships: Emma will seduce Anne’s new boyfriend Logan, and Peter plans to befriend Noah to convince him to breakup with his new girlfriend Ginny.
Peter gets Noah to be his personal trainer, while Emma volunteers for Logan’s middle school production of Little Shop of Horrors. Peter and Emma also grow closer; he reveals his dream of opening his own nursing home and she admits her lack of ambition is due to her father’s terminal illness. Peter and Noah bond, while Emma successfully impresses Logan by pretending to share his love of theatre, stunning him with a passionate performance of “Suddenly, Seymour”. She also helps a troubled student, Trevor, by providing him with guidance for navigating his father’s extramarital affair. After visiting a nightclub together, Peter convinces Noah to go home and take MDMA with three girls, only to learn the girls are minors. After fleeing, Noah tells Peter he is going to propose to Ginny, to Peter’s dismay.
