A psychologist who diagnoses other people's relationships for a living gets one weekend to save her own daughter from a wedding she is convinced is a mistake in You're Dating a Narcissist!, a comedy built on the gap between professional certainty and family chaos.
What is You're Dating a Narcissist! about?
Marisa Tomei plays the mother, an outspoken psychologist still nursing her own romantic wounds when word arrives that her daughter is engaged to a man she has diagnosed, sight unseen, as a textbook narcissist. She drags her best friend along for an emergency trip to Los Angeles, arriving with a checklist of red flags and none of the tact needed to deliver it gently. The daughter, smitten and unwilling to hear a word against her fiance, treats every intervention as an insult rather than advice, which forces the mother to find quieter, sneakier ways to make her case before the wedding happens. The film leans into the comedy of a woman who is right about everyone else's relationships and hopelessly clumsy at managing her own, using the mismatch for both laughs and a real question about when concern crosses into control.
About the cast
Tomei carries the film alongside Sherry Cola as her exasperated best friend, with Ciara Bravo as the daughter caught in the middle and Marco Pigossi as the fiance under scrutiny; Jose Maria Yazpik, Dennis Tong, Judy Kain and Lily Donoghue round out a supporting cast that keeps the Los Angeles trip feeling crowded and chaotic rather than a tidy two-hander.
Context & significance
The film sits comfortably in a run of studio comedies built around a meddling parent and a wedding deadline, a setup that has produced reliable crowd-pleasers for decades because the stakes are personal and the comic engine -- someone convinced they know best, running out of time to prove it -- barely needs updating from one generation to the next. Director Ann Marie Allison keeps the pace brisk, favoring quick scenes over long dialogue stretches so the mother's campaign never stalls the momentum toward the wedding day.
