Maybe I Do
Maybe you stay married for the kids.
Directed by Michael Jacobs
Produced by Fifth Season, Vincent Newman Entertainment
A romantic comedy-drama about marriage and commitment that uses intergenerational conflict and hidden histories to explore whether long-term relationships are worth their complications.
Michelle and Allen, who have reached the point in their relationship where they are considering next steps, decide to invite their parents to finally meet and to offer some understanding of why marriage works. Except the parents already know each other quite well, which leads to some very distinct opinions about the value of marriage.
