Directed by Tailiah Breon and written by Christel Gibson (story by Kameron Bain), the cast also includes Rockmond Dunbar, Jeff Logan, Jessie Woo, Bobb’e J. Thompson, Rolonda Rochelle, Reece Odum and Trina Braxton.

The film tells the story of former college sweethearts forced to confront unresolved feelings, changing ambitions, and the emotional complexities of adulthood during an unforgettable homecoming weekend in Atlanta. Bestselling author Miles Morris returns to his ten-year college reunion and walks straight back into the orbit of the woman he never stopped loving. What unfolds is a layered, funny, and achingly real portrait of second chances, buried secrets, and the complicated business of Black love. Blending romance, comedy, and heartfelt drama, the film celebrates Black love, friendship, nostalgia, and the enduring impact of the HBCU experience.

Funny Thing About Love marks the first feature-film leading role for Kourtney George, the internet personality who first captured hearts as “Hurt Bae” in a viral 2015 video that resonated with millions. Her film credits also include A Costa Rican Wedding and Trunk.

Opposite George is co-lead Courtney Burrell, known for his roles in ALLBLK’s Á La Carte, Chief Julian, Wendy and Cole, Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral, and HBO’sInsecure.
