Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells team up as a gay couple in the upcoming dark comedy I Don’t Understand You, set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.
Directed by real-life partners Brian Crano and David Joseph Craig, the film offers a twisted yet heartfelt take on queer parenthood and the perils of international travel.
The story follows Dom (Kroll) and Cole (Rannells), a Los Angeles couple celebrating their 10th anniversary with a babymoon in rural Italy before adopting a child.
What begins as a romantic getaway quickly spirals into chaos when their rental car gets stuck in a ditch during a storm, leaving them stranded without cell service or knowledge of the Italian language.
As they navigate cultural misunderstandings and escalating tensions, their relationship is put to the ultimate test.
Inspired by the directors’ own journey to fatherhood, the film blends sharp humor with moments of genuine emotion.

The cast also includes Amanda Seyfried as Candace, the expectant mother whose child Dom and Cole plan to adopt, Morgan Spector as Massimo, and Eleonora Romandini as Francesca.
I Don’t Understand You premiered at the 2024 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival, where it received praise for its unique blend of comedy and horror elements.
Critics have described it as “outrageously snappy and unapologetically fun,” highlighting the chemistry between Kroll and Rannells as a standout feature.
With its mix of dark humor, cultural satire, and heartfelt exploration of queer relationships, I Don’t Understand You promises to be a must-see film for audiences seeking both laughs and depth.
The movie will be released in theaters on June 6, 2025, just in time for Pride Month celebrations.
