The new movie will join a growing Apple TV+ catalog that includes hit shows like Severance and For All Mankind alongside movies like CODA and Finch. This latest Apple Original Films project tells the story of a 22-year-old who lands his perfect job — and the comedy begins.

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 resume, 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. Raiff writes, directs and stars alongside Johnson, Garrett, Leslie Mann and newcomers Burghardt and Assante in this tale of unconventional love that brims with emotional honesty.

That and more can be watched on Apple TV+ now, with a subscription costing $4.99 per month. The streamer is some of the best value in the market right now at a time when Disney+ and Netflix are increasing prices. It's also available as part of the Apple One subscription bundle, making it even better value!
