Well now I need to see both movies, but from the article’s tone and description of the suit, it sounds pretty damning.

I don't need to see either movie, but you're right that the similarities do sound pretty damning.
Yeah, granted the article is quoting the plaintiffs' suit, so we're getting a pretty skewed interpretation, but both films ending with a scene in which the leads select the same Spice Girls album to listen to really does point towards plagiarism. With that being said, I don't know how anyone could think they'd get away with that blatant.
I thought Together: A Blatant Rip-off was the name of the film.
Like brother, like brother
Didn't know they were married
I'm all too aware that Mr Franco married my pretend wife.
Well that was a lot of spoilers lol, good thing I didn't care too much about this film
