Summary

  • The new Hulu romance movie The Greatest Hits cast boasts actors with strong resumes.
  • The lead roles of The Greatest Hits are played by up-and-coming actors from Superman, The Umbrella Academy, and Barbie.
  • The ensemble cast of the movie also includes Retta and Nelly Furtado.

The Greatest Hits cast is jam-packed with actors with strong resumes. The new Hulu movie was written and directed by Ned Benson, who has a story credit on the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe outing Black Widow following his feature writing and directing debut with The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby in 2014. The project premiered at SXSW less than a month before a limited theatrical release, which in turn came just a week before it officially premiered on the streaming platform.

The Greatest Hits reviews have been middling, earning the movie a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 46%, meaning that less than half of the reviews were favorable. However, many critics have highlighted the cast as one of the bright spots of the movie. This could potentially be due to the fact that the trio of characters at the core of its story are played by up-and-coming actors with promising careers ahead of them. However, the ensemble cast of the movie is also packed with familiar faces from projects on both the big and small screens.
