Happily Ever After Is a Lot to Ask
In Vero Beach, Florida, a trio of couples at various points in their relationships become the subjects of a film about marriage being an antiquated idea that needs a reboot: Why not turn marriage into a seven-year deal with an option to renew?
"I Do... Until I Don't" is a 2017 American comedy film directed by Lake Bell and produced by Cold Iron Pictures and Ways & Means.
