Sabrina and Torsten watch Natalia Tena and Brett Goldstein fall in love in this British superhero take on the rom-com also starring Catherine Tate and Laura Haddock.

Torsten and Sabrina follow Reese Witherspoon from the 2000s-era New York fashion scene to rural Alabama, where they meet a hunky seaplane pilot, odd but charming townsfolk, and a complete lack of historical consciousness.

Sabrina and Torsten take a trip to the Hamptons with Nancy Meyers to write a play by the seaside and hope their hearts survive this romantic comedy starring Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Amanda Peet, and Keanu Reeves.
