Eddie is a confirmed bachelor who is forty and owns a sporting-goods store. After watching his ex-fiancé walk down the aisle, he meets Lila who is an environmental researcher. Lila seems too good to be true. Pressured by his father and best friend, Eddie pops the question and marries Lila after only 6 weeks. He almost immediately discovers that his new bride is a nightmare with more baggage than he can handle. She's immature and foolish, a monster in bed and owes a large sums of money to various sources. As it turns out, Lila is only a volunteer and doesn't actually have a job. While on their honeymoon in Cabo, Eddie meets Miranda, a down-to-earth lacrosse coach who is visiting with her family. Sparks fly between Eddie and Miranda. Now he needs to break off his marriage, all while trying to keep the truth from Miranda about why he's in Cabo in the first place.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Unfortunately Awful submitted by Sonia on July 17, 2011, 9:46pm Not a very good premise combined with mediocre acting. If you are looking for an enjoyable romantic comedy...this is definitely not it!

Ok movie submitted by Ilyjtwya on June 29, 2012, 2:34am This is one of those movies where it's difficult to relate to the characters because they're constantly making obvious mistakes. I spent a lot of the time watching this movie cringing. However, there are some funny parts and circumstances. I wouldn't describe it as a romantic comedy because the whole situation is messed up, and Ben Stiller doesn't seem to learn from his romantic mistakes even at the ending.

Awful ending submitted by Xris on July 24, 2016, 12:53am Most movies have a happy ending, but this one did not, so it didn't make all the angst worth it. I don't recommend it.

99 in 100 so-called romantic comedies are god-awful, with "happy ends' that would give you DIABETES. NOT THIS ONE. submitted by Tassos on December 16, 2022, 9:09pm It's a comedy. Outrageous comedy. NOT a soap opera with a happy ending. Not a stupid romance novel your grandma likes.
