[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 with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 20% rating.[1] 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'.
