The two then decide to swap homes and lives for a week, discovering that their previous lives have been making them unhappy. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Witherspoon called the film a love letter to single moms.
“Even if your life didn’t perfectly work out the way you envisioned, there’s hope and there’s joy, and love can still be found,“ she said.

In an interview with People, Kutcher said that choosing to participate in the film was an easy decision since he “finally got the opportunity” to work with Witherspoon and McKenna.
“We just had fun!” he said of his experience working with Witherspoon. “I can talk to Reese about anything — acting, business, kids, media, football. She’s always game.”
“Your Place or Mine” co-stars Jesse Williams, Zoe Chow, Rachel Bloom, Tig Notaro, and more. It premieres on Netflix on February 10.
