Fresh out of college and without a clear life path going forward, 22-year-old Andrew is stuck back at home with his family in New Jersey. But if there’s one thing that belongs on his nonexistent résumé, it’s how to get a party started, which lands him the perfect job of motivational dancing at the bar and bat mitzvahs for his younger brother’s classmates. When Andrew befriends a local mom, Domino, and her daughter, Lola, he finally discovers a future he wants – even if it might not be his own. Cha Cha Real Smooth will premiere in select theaters and globally on Apple TV+ on June 17.
Cooper Raiff writes, directs, and stars alongside Dakota Johnson, Brad Garrett, Leslie Mann, and newcomers Vanessa Burghardt and Evan Assante in this tale of unconventional love that brims with emotional honesty.

With the exception of a seemingly 35 year old girl needing a babysitter, that looks cute.

The actress or the character? Because the only issue that actress looks like she’s dealing with is menopause.

This is out on Friday. Apple is hoping this will be their CODA of 2022.
I recommend checking out Raiff's first film, Shithouse.

What a fantastic movie. Raiff is a revelation. He just seemed so natural, like he wasn’t acting at all. In fact the whole cast were just great. The adults, the kids. Great, sometimes unexpected, semi-love story with drama, comedy and a whole lot of emotion. I won’t say this is nearly as great as CODA, but it was an exceptional movie that I intended to just start it, but I couldn’t stop it. Simply beautifully heart warming and magnificent.

Really excellent segment on Jimmy Kimmel (though Sean Hayes was filling in) with Cooper Raiff. He’s my new fave.

I did my part. Created a thread in January for virtual Sundance, of which this was an option to stream/buy a ticket for.

He needs to work harder on the title names of his movies.
