"If he's so in love with her, what's he doing at at a wedding with you." American International Pictures has revealed an official trailer for a sweet romantic comedy called About Fate, by filmmaker Marius Vaysberg. Opening in theaters this September. "Sometimes fate makes you question everything you know about love." The romantic comedy is a tale of two people who believe in love, but seem to never be able to find its true meaning. In a wild twist of events, fate puts each in the other's path on a stormy New Year's Eve and comedy and chaos ensue. The film's cast features Emma Roberts and Thomas Mann as Margot and Griffin, with Britt Robertson, Madelaine Petsch, Wendie Malick, Cheryl Hines and Lewis Tan. This is actually a remake of a Russian film called The Irony of Fate (from 1975) but updated for US audiences. It's such an unoriginal, cliche concept...
