The Throwback

A married couple are thrown into a crisis when the wife, an under-appreciated and stressed "supermom," suffers a post-traumatic breakdown during the holiday season, causing her to regress to her college-age, party-girl self. While she teams up with the neighbor's 19 year old daughter to paint the town red, her bewildered husband must navigate the chaos at home.

Directed by Mario Garcia, The Throwback leans on a strong ensemble — Justina Machado, Will Sasso, Bobby Lee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2024.
