“THE PRESENT” TRAILER: ISLA FISHER AND GREG KINNEAR STAR IN A TIME-TRAVELING PARENT TRAP (EXCLUSIVE)
Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear play parents whose kids turn back time to try to save their marriage
Isla Fisher and Greg Kinnear play a separating couple whose children go to great lengths to keep them together in The Present.
In the first trailer for the family comedy, shared exclusively with PEOPLE, Fisher, 48, and Kinnear, 60, play a mom and dad on the verge of announcing their separation to their three kids.
Just before sharing the bad news, the family receives an old clock from their grandfather, and their son Taylor (Easton Rocket Sweda) realizes the object has the ability to turn back time.
Unbeknownst to the parents, Taylor and his siblings (Shea Rudolph and Mason Shea Joyce) team up to continually turn the clock back on what could prove the final day of their family's life together, but circumstances keep preventing them from completing their mission.

"When a brilliant boy discovers he can manipulate time using an enchanted family heirloom, he and his siblings team up to go back to the eve of their parents’ separation in hopes of changing the outcome," a synopsis teases. "
As their schemes become more elaborate, the siblings will learn about family bonds and what they can and can’t control."
The Present was written by Jay Martel, a former writer for Key & Peele who is also known for writing the screenplay to Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell's 2015 movie Get Hard. Christian Ditter directed the movie, which marks his first directorial effort in a feature film since 2016's How to Be Single.
