Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Lee Toland Krieger's romantic comedy Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012), starring Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg and Elijah Wood. Street date is February 5th.
Note: Celeste and Jesse Forever is nominated for Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay (Will McCormack and
Rashida Jones).
Celeste (Jones) and Jesse (Samberg) met in high school, married young and are growing apart. Now thirty, Celeste is the driven owner of her own media consulting firm, Jesse is once again unemployed and in no particular rush to do anything with his life. Celeste is convinced that divorcing Jesse is the right thing to do -- she is on her way up, he is on his way nowhere, and if they do it now instead of later, they can remain supportive friends. Jesse passively accepts this transition into friendship, even though he is still in love with her. As the reality of their separation sets in, Celeste slowly and painfully realizes she has been cavalier about their relationship, and her decision, which once seemed mature and progressive, now seems impulsive and selfish. The two come to learn that in order to truly love someone, you may have to let them go.
