He lives in New York City, while she lives in Los Angeles with her young son. While catching up together one day on Facetime, Debbie muses to Peter about feeling lost in life as a single mother. Peter encourages a house swap of sorts, asking her to come on a trip to New York and find what she’s missing, offering his lavish apartment for her to stay in while he watches her son at her house back in California. While in the big city, Debbie finds a love interest (Jesse Williams), which leaves Peter emotionally conflicted, wondering if his feelings from 20 years ago never left.

Your Place or Mineis the latest notch in Witherspoon’s stylish, southern-style belt, and she has barely faltered in her decades-long career as both an award-winning actress and a successful entrepreneur. Her breakout role in the teen drama filmCruel Intentions(1999) put her on the map, and soon after, the comedy blockbusterLegally Blonde(2001) launched her into the stratosphere. Hollywood embraced her as a genuinely wholesome, charming, and witty talent. However, she flexed her versatility much further in the musical biopicWalk the Line, which earned her an avalanche of awards, including an Oscar for Best Actress. The film reportedly exhausted her to the point of impostor syndrome, which almost made her quit the production altogether.
After a pause in her acting career, Witherspoon briefly returned to the big screen in films likeWater for Elephants(2011) andWild(2014). Afterward, she instead turned her focus to television, starring in HBO’s hit drama seriesBig Little LiesandThe Morning Show, which is ongoing. She also owns a production company named Hello Sunshine, which focuses on female-led literary adaptations and helmed the aforementioned TV series along with filmsGone Girl(2014) andWhere the Crawdads Sing(2022). She also owns a clothing company called Draper James, and is involved in multiple women’s and children’s advocacy organizations.
