 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Intervention is a 2016 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Clea DuVall in her directorial debut. The film stars DuVall, Melanie Lynskey, Natasha Lyonne, Alia Shawkat, Cobie Smulders, Vincent Piazza, Jason Ritter and Ben Schwartz.The film centers on four dysfunctional couples on a weekend trip: Jessie (DuVall) and Sarah (Lyonne), who might be moving a little too fast — or a little too slow, depending on which one of them one asks; Annie (Lynskey) and Matt (Ritter), an engaged couple who seems picture-perfect, but who keep rescheduling their wedding and no one wants to talk about why; Lola (Shawkat) and Jack (Schwartz), a just-met couple who are rushing into things; and Ruby (Smulders) and Peter (Piazza), a married couple that fights constantly.It turns out that Ruby and Peter's marriage led the other friends to make the weekend getaway so that they can all gather together to spring a surprise divorce intervention on them. Needless to say, they're not too happy about it — and the intervention sets off a whole lot of drama between all the friends and couples.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Actor Allusion: Cobie Smulders in a movie about interventions and her character is subjected to one? Frankly, all that's missing is the banner. Clea DuVall, Natasha Lyonne, and Melanie Lynskey all appeared in But I'm a Cheerleader, and both films feature DuVall and Lyonne as a couple and an intervention (in But I'm a Cheerleader it was to make Lyonne's character admit that she was a lesbian, so that her parents could sent her to a camp to cure her homosexuality).

 Age-Gap Romance: Lola is at least 10 years younger than Jack and Jessie. His friends are not entirely on board with this.

 The Alcoholic: Annie is fairly quickly established as having a drinking problem, which blows their first attempt at having the intervention. More than one character comments on it over the course of the movie, and ultimately, the other characters have to stage an intervention for it.
