NEON has dropped the official trailer for Splitsville, the irreverent romantic comedy directed by Michael Angelo Covino (who co-wrote it with Kyle Marvin), starring Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, and Kyle Marvin. The film premiered at Cannes 2025 and follows a weekend trip that spins swiftly into comedic mayhem.
Plot At A Glance
Like a lot of films in this genre, things start with a marriage on the brink. Adria Arjona’s character, Ashley, shocks husband Carey (Kyle Marvin) by asking for a divorce and admitting infidelity. In search of comfort, Carey visits friends Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Covino), only to discover they’re in an open marriage. Carey and Julie cross a line that sends all fours’ relationships spiraling—leading to car crashes, heated confrontations, even emotional breakdown.
The preview blends tender dialogue with hysterical extremes—from heartfelt monologues to sudden car wrecks and explosive confrontations.
The cast also features Nicholas Braun, David Castañeda, and O‑T Fagbenle in supporting roles.
Splitsville is scheduled for a limited U.S. release, opening August 22, 2025 at select theaters, followed by a wide rollout beginning September 5, 2025, via NEON distribution.
It looks like a refreshing twist on the modern rom-com, weaving bold humor, real-world chaos, and emotional depth. With a talented cast, standout trailer, and strong festival buzz, this August’s release could be your next feel-good-meets-mayhem hit.
