While Netflix has filled its library with plenty of jaw-dropping mystery series and crime thrillers, the streaming platform has also maintained a steady stream of heart-fluttering romantic comedies. The Half of It, Hit Man, and The Lost City are among the popular romantic titles available on Netflix. This summer, the streaming giant is adding another breezy German romantic comedy, My Best Friend, His Girlfriend, and Me. While the film promises heartwarming and wholesome moments, it also sets the stage for a full-fledged battle filled with chaos as love and friendship collide. 

With the film set to arrive this summer, here is everything to know about its cast, plot, and release date.

Plot of My Best Friend, His Girlfriend, and Me

My Best Friend, His Girlfriend, and Me follows two childhood friends, Olli and Matze, who have been inseparable since childhood. Even as adults, the two live together and work at the same real estate agency. However, things take a turn for Olli when Matze falls in love with Rebecca. 

He believes that his new girlfriend is trying to change him. He is upset over Matze’s sudden interest in jogging and healthy breakfasts instead of their usual pinball games and after-work beers. And this made him believe that Rebecca could ruin the world trip that they have planned for years. 

This pushed Ollie to plan with their friend Schmitti to stop Rebecca. However, turns out Rebecca is not going to make things easy for Olli. And this starts a battle between the best friend and the new girlfriend. 

Much like the intriguing plot, the film also stars a talented cast.
