Reese Witherspoon takes us back to simpler times with a new deal she's signed with Netflix. The actress has signed on to star in two upcoming romantic comedies that will be produced by her production company, Hello Sunshine. The first film is entitled Your Place or Mine, which has a script written by Aline Brosh McKenna. McKenna will make her directorial debut with the film. And it is about "two long-distance best friends who change each other's lives when one decides to pursue a lifelong dream and the other volunteers to keep an eye on the friend's teenage son."

The second film is entitled The Cactus, and it's based on a novel with the same name by Sarah Haywood. It was one of Witherspoon's "Hello Sunshine Book Club picks" in 2018. And it tells the story of "a 45-year-old woman who falls unexpectedly pregnant, leading her on an unconventional journey toward love, family, and learning to embrace the unexpected." There is no writer or director attached to the film yet. We don't have release dates as well, given COVID-19 pandemic, it might be a while until we get that information.
