Jennifer Westfeldt Adapting & Co-Starring In ‘The Sweet Spot’ At Amazon MGM Studios
Exclusive: Amazon MGM Studios has put a feature rendition of Amy Poeppel’s novel The Sweet Spot into development with Kissing Jessica Stein‘s Jennifer Westfeldt adapting and set to co-star in the female-driven ensemble.
Westfeldt will produce alongside Laura Lewis of Rebelle Media.
The Sweet Spot is a multi-generational, female-driven screwball comedy set in New York City around the chaos of the holiday season. It explores found family, fresh starts, second chances, unlikely alliances, revenge, redemption, unexpected romance, and the ripple effect of seemingly small actions leading to epic consequences in the lives of people you haven’t even met … yet.
Westfeldt previously wrote the romantic comedy The Idea of You for the studio with its filmmaker Michael Showalter. The movie, which starred Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine and world premiered at SXSW, repped Amazon MGM’s biggest romantic comedy debut ever, drawing nearly 50 million global Prime Video viewers in its first two weeks.
