Co-written and directed by Frank Bellocq, Netflix’s ‘Stuck With You’ (originally titled ‘Happy Nous Year’) is a French romantic comedy movie that revolves around two strangers who get on an elevator on their way to a New Year’s Eve party. Call it fate or a mishap, but the elevator suddenly malfunctions, and the two find themselves stuck with one another. When they get in touch with the building’s maintenance to complain about the situation, the authority assigns a technician to fix the elevator but only the next morning.
This means the duo’s party plans are thrown out the window as they are forced to spend the rest of the night together. As time progresses, the two start forming an unexpected bond. While the budding romance between two strangers keeps the viewers hooked on the movie, the elevator inside which they get stuck is bound to make one wonder where it was filmed.
