But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get coget complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable—an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness, Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam, an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he's become part of a love triangle.

    I loved this movie and can't tell you the last time I heard a movie audience laughing so hard. For those critics who gave this movie bad reviews, all you have to do is look at the box office totals and see how out of touch they are with the people.… Expand

    The actors do fine work, but it is nothing new, nothing fun, and nothing funny. So not much goes on here that is actually complicated. I give this movie 34%.… Expand
