Charlie Day, Jenny Slate, Scott Eastwood, Clark Backo, Gina Rodriguez, and Manny Jacinto discuss Amazon Video’s rom-com, I Want You Back.

Whether it’s The Jackson 5 or NSYNC, we’ve all cranked the radio up and belted out “I want you back!” hitting octaves that only a dog would recognize as a whistle. Now it’s not just your favorite song… it can be your favorite movie too!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Charlie Day and Jenny Slate star opposite each other in Amazon’s latest love story. Watch as the scorned lovers strategize the takedown of their ex’s new relationships. Together they are funny, charming, and romantic! Day told The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield that he hoped he and Slate could become the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. BOX-OFFICE-POWER-COUPLE!

The supporting cast is just as amazing with superstars like Scott Eastwood, Clark Backo, Gina Rodriguez, and Manny Jacinto. Eastwood plays Slate’s ex who is body-conscious but sweet, his new girlfriend is a pie shop owner played by Backo. Together they are #couplegoals. Rodriguez plays Day’s ex-girlfriend who has recently fallen in love with a teacher at her school, Jacinto. They have become “Instagram official” leaving Day’s character reeling.

If you weren’t sold by Valentine’s Day with Charlie Day, what about Mr. Steal Yo Girl, Pete Davidson? Davidson has a hilarious cameo that involves a hot tub. The OC‘s Ben McKenzie also surprises audiences as an angry Dad… giving us major Sandy Cohen vibes. But it’s one Hollywood icon’s brief appearance that gave us all a thrill… thespian Nicolas Cage. Charlie Day, Jenny Slate, Scott Eastwood, Clark Backo, Gina Rodriguez, and Manny Jacinto (enthusiastically) share their favorite Nic Cage movies in the video above.

Stream I Want You Back on Amazon Prime February 11th.

Sound the alarms– Bridget Jones is having a baby!? As in the socially awkward American with a British accent who magically got both Colin Firth and Hugh Grant is having a baby?

As a side note, I rarely like romantic comedies, let alone romantic movies themselves. That’s why this and 1980s Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movies are a big deal to me.

Filming for Bridget Jones’s Baby started a little over a month ago, on October 2, 2015, in London’s Olympic Park in Pinewood. What seems surprising however is that while Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth return from both original movies, Hugh Grant is nowhere to be seen, neither in filming nor in having his name attached to the film. However, there is a certain Grey’s Anatomy star that was seen smooching Zellweger last month.

That’s right, Patrick Dempsey has signed onto the film, with his role unknown but we can all safely assume that Mark Darcy (Firth) does not enjoy any minute of what’s going on. And considering that this is the first film in the franchise not to be based off of the books by Helen Fielding’s best selling novels, we cannot be entirely sure what the film will be about. All we can do is wait and anticipate.
