Maggie’s Plan is the sweet, sophisticated and funny exploration of the unexpected complications of modern romance…
This isn’t your average romantic comedy. In fact, Rebecca Miller’s witty approach to modern romance is a little different from the usual.
Greta Gerwig portrays Maggie Hardin, a vibrant and practical thirty-something New Yorker working at the New School who, without success in finding love, decides now is the time to have a child on her own.
But when she meets John Harding (Ethan Hawke) a “ficto-critical anthropologist” and struggling novelist, Maggie falls in love for the first time, and adjusts her plans for motherhood. Complicating matters, John is in a strained marriage with a brilliant Danish academic, Georgette Nørgaard (Julianne Moore).
With Maggie’s eccentric and hilarious best friends Tony and Felicia (Bill Hader and Maya Rudolph) observing from the sidelines, Maggie sets into motion a new plan that catapults her into a bit of a love triangle with John and Georgette; intertwining their lives and connecting them again, in surprising and humorous ways.
Maggie learns that sometimes destiny should be left to its own devices…
