    ‘Your Place or Mine’ Has Some ‘Crazy’ Casting

    The rom-com’s director also created Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Can you spot the cameos?

    Feb. 10, 2023

When Aline Brosh McKenna, the writer and director of Your Place or Mine, was filling out the cast of her latest rom-com, she called on some Exes for help.

In fact, the film, which stars Reese Witherspoon (Debbie) and Ashton Kutcher (Peter) as FaceTime-crossed lovers, is a veritable Easter egg hunt for fans of Brosh McKenna’s musical dramedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. “When you’re making a movie, you need people who can stick the landing in those smaller parts,” says the rom-com maestro. “And I knew these folks would.”

Casting the Crazy crew also came with the added benefit of being a reunion of sorts for this tight-knit group who worked together for four seasons. “We all miss each other, so it’s a fun opportunity to spend time together,” she says. “There are so many close relationships that came from that show.”

Below, we offer a breakdown of how your favorite residents of West Covina pop up in Your Place or Mine.
