It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope, it’s Mila Kunis and Michael Keaton casually strutting their stuff on the red carpet, looking like they just walked out of a Hollywood fairy tale, but the plot twist is a bit more… family-oriented.
Our dynamic duo hit up AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles (which, let’s be real, is basically the royal palace of movie theaters) for the grand premiere of their new film, Goodrich, on Tuesday night. Paparazzi flashed like disco balls as Mila and Michael posed together, probably trying to figure out who left the oven on.
But hold onto your popcorn, because they weren’t alone! Also attending this cinematic extravaganza were Michael Urie (probably wondering if he can pull off the “I’m here for free popcorn” look) and Kevin Pollak (a man who likely told at least three dad jokes on the way in). Director and screenwriter Hallie Meyers-Shyer also graced the red carpet, probably plotting how to get everyone to actually listen to the director for once.
Now, if you’re thinking, “Wait, what’s Goodrich about? Does Keaton become Batman again? Or does Mila join the That ’70s Show reboot?”—the answer is neither, but the movie does promise the most thrilling parenting challenge since your toddler found the scissors.
Here’s the lowdown: Michael Keaton’s character, Andy Goodrich, is out here living his best life until—plot twist!—his wife drops a bombshell: She’s checking into a 90-day rehab, and he’s now the proud owner of two small humans (a.k.a. nine-year-old twins). With zero experience and a lot of questions about how much sugar is too much sugar, Andy’s thrown into the wild world of modern parenthood, where toddlers have TikToks, and nothing makes sense. His saving grace (literally) is Grace, his daughter from a previous marriage, played by Mila Kunis, who’s like, “Dad, seriously, you need to learn how to dad.” Spoiler: Goodrich is less about Batman, more about “Bathtime-Man.”
Mark your calendars, because Goodrich hits theaters on October 18, and you’re not going to want to miss watching Michael Keaton figure out how to pack a school lunch. (Hint: It’s not with caviar.)
And, if you’re dying for a fashion update, FYI: Mila was serving up pure elegance in a Brandon Maxwell dress, while Michael Urie slayed the red carpet in a suit by Stile Latino—because even when you’re battling the forces of parenthood, you’ve gotta look sharp.
