Production

In an interview with Screen Rant , Heder spoke about the film, stating, "It's a rom-co. A little Hallmark-style - it's like a Hallmark movie with comedy in it, actual tried comedy, and it works. It's an ensemble piece with a lot of funny actors at a big family gathering around Thanksgiving during the Thanksgiving break." [1]

In October 2021, Gravitas Ventures acquired the distribution rights to Funny Thing About Love. They gave the film a limited theatrical release, alongside a digital release, on December 3, 2021. [2] [3]
