About Fate follows strangers Griffin (Thomas Mann) and Margot (Emma Roberts) for a whirlwind 48 hours, starting on December 30. On that day, Griff tries to propose to his social media-influencer girlfriend, Clementine (Madelaine Petsch), at a Bennigan’s, but she’d rather he do it again at her big New Year’s Eve party.
Meanwhile, across the restaurant, Margot gets dumped — instead of proposed to, as she imagined — by her boyfriend of three months, Kip (Lewis Tan). To make things worse, Margot’s older sister (Britt Robertson) is getting married the next day, and now Margot, the maid of honor, has no plus-one.
Griffin and Margot end up in a strange, compromising meet-cute, and he agrees to pose as Kip for the wedding — as long as he can be done in time to make it to his soon-to-be-fiancée’s New Year’s fete. As the day progresses, it’s clear that Margot and Griffin, who live almost eerily parallel lives, right down to their house numbers in neighboring developments and their room decor, have more in common — and chemistry — with each other than they do with Kip and Clementine.
About Fate is a 2022 American romantic comedy film directed by Maryus Vaysberg from a screenplay by Tiffany Paulsen. It is a remake of the 1976 Soviet television film The Irony of Fate.
