The Other Zoey

Zoey Miller is a brilliant computer science student who keeps romance at arm's length, preferring equations to feelings. Her orderly world gets upset when Zack MacLaren, the campus soccer star, suffers a sudden bout of amnesia and mistakes Zoey for his girlfriend. The mix up pulls Zoey into a situation she would normally avoid, forcing her to juggle awkward social scenarios, a hopeful crowd of friends, and a growing pull toward someone she always treated as a friend. As Zack clings to a memory that might never be real, Zoey must decide what she wants beyond logic, all while their classmates watch and whisper.

Directed by Sara Zandieh from an original screenplay by Matthew Tabak, The Other Zoey blends sharp dialogue with sweet moments on a college campus, featuring Josephine Langford as Zoey and Drew Starkey as Zack, with Archie Renaux and Andie MacDowell.

Box office receipts place The Other Zoey at about 168,000 dollars worldwide, a modest return that reflects its niche appeal and festival style release rather than a wide commercial rollout, limiting mainstream visibility in smaller markets today and elsewhere worldwide.

Critical chatter notes the film's brisk wit and heartfelt beats, with Langford delivering a sharp intellect paired with awkward charm. It asks how memory and intellect shape romance, delivering humor without cynicism while letting genuine feelings find a path forward.
