Jason Reitman's next film features an ensemble cast focusing on some modern topics like video games, online privacy, and more. Men, Women & Children is like a Crash-esque drama where each individual story is interconnected with one another to weave together a large narrative about high school students and their parents. With Reitman's filmography that includes films like Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and Up in the Air, Men, Women & Children should be the right mix of drama and smart-witted comedy Reitman's career has been noted for. The cast includes Adam Sandler, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dean Norris, Judy Greer, Ansel Elgort, and J.K. Simmons.
Men, Women & Children will be in theaters on October 1st. You can read the full synopsis below.
MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose - some tragic, some hopeful - as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.
