[edit] Plot
Frustrated with the fact that he cannot give his wife Priscilla (Parker Posey) an orgasm, Jack (Paul Rudd) moves out of the house and starts a relationship with Kristen, (Mischa Barton) his student. Unfulfilled, Priscilla forms an unlikely partnership with Wayne, (Danny DeVito) a businessman more than twice her age.
[edit] Reception
The movie did not do well, either commercially or critically. Popular movie sites gave it a 20% rotten rating. Lou Lumenick of New York Post wrote- 'Despite its seemingly sure fire premise and cast of veteran comedians,this movie just lies there without a single laugh'. it was labeled as silly and funless, with just vulgar jokes for vulgar people.
