Hulu's verified YouTube channel published the trailer on November 2. Its description gives the November 6 streaming date and Christina's dating challenge. Check the title and story before playing: Hulu's monthly press schedule also contains a separately identified 2011 film with a similar name.

Check the current film listing

On the announced date, search Hulu for the title and confirm the movie details. This guide does not assign a release hour or claim a Disney+ route that has not been independently confirmed for this film. Regional and account availability should be checked in the service you use.

If you already subscribe through a bundle or another company, check whether your Hulu account has been activated. Keep that account information separate from the sign-in for a television provider. An installed app does not by itself establish access to a particular title.

DIRECTV and Hulu access are separate checks

This streaming release is not presented as a new numbered DIRECTV channel. If you already pay for Hulu or a bundle, review that account before buying another subscription. Do not assume that a DIRECTV package automatically includes the film's streaming entitlement.

Our Hulu and DIRECTV access guide discusses related questions. Compare the actual current offer for your account, including what renews and how to cancel, rather than relying on an older promotional price. No subscription price or trial offer is quoted here.

Check your television or streaming device

Use the service's supported-device information for the screen you intend to watch. Install or update the appropriate app through the device's normal app store, sign in to the correct account and confirm that playback works. A device supporting an app does not itself supply the subscription.

If you use a DIRECTV Gemini device, review the Gemini device guide alongside the streaming service's current support information. App availability and account features should be checked for the specific equipment you own.

Before starting a new plan

Read the selected plan's current recurring price, advertising terms, renewal date and cancellation method. If you are offered a bundle, establish which services it includes and which accounts need activation. Keep a copy of the offer you actually accept.

For live-TV package questions, compare DIRECTV options at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884. Film streaming access remains subject to the separate eligible account and service terms.
