Winner Takes All

Like a rom-com twist on the Hangover movies, this genuinely funny contemporary from Martin (The Year We Fall Apart) centers on a wild night that neither of its protagonists remember. Music talent scout Eleanor Thompson is in Vegas looking to sign indie rock band Dempsey. So is her former colleague Adam Shaw. The pair can’t stand each other: Adam was one of the many gossips at Eleanor’s old company who thought she owed her career to a relationship with their former boss, while Eleanor has always written Adam off as a nepo baby. But when the two wake up married the night after their mutually unsuccessful meeting with the band, they work together to piece together what happened—and figure out the logistics of getting an annulment—while still vying against each other professionally. Along the way, both reevaluate their former opinions of the other. Martin makes good use of the Vegas setting, and her leads’ chemistry is obvious even when they’re competing. It’s a fun, lively take on the forced-proximity trope. (June)
