Story Overview: Jane Adler, a successful bakery owner is a mother of three; Luke Adler, Gabby Adler and Lauren Adler. She is also divorced to Jake Adler who is an attorney. He left her marrying Agness Adler who was a younger woman with a young son.
The son of the divorced couple Luke has just graduated college in New York City which the whole family flies down for. During this little time away in the big apple, The 10 year divorcies hook up for a one night stand which makes Jake go love crazy for his ex wife once again. When back home he chases her trying to get back with her as a ex with benefits ordeal. When Jane gets tired of this she starts to date a serious architect named Adam Schaffer who is working on the plans of the kitchen extention for her. As they spend time together Jake gets jealous and tries to break up the two.
This movie is a refresher in the comedy/love genera. Its nice to see a movie with the naughty idea of two ex lovers getting back together after 10 years. Also they are both not some hot actress/actor that will make everyone want to watch the movie just to see them in the heat of the moment. Another great actor is Steve Martin who FINALLY did a good movie after so many years of doing pitiful kids films. He is a great actor and once again has played a roll showing why he is so well known. Lastly John Krasinski has pulled off an excellent roll as Harley, Lauren's fiancé. They let him use qualities from his roll as Jim Halpert (The Office). Everyone else are just extras but do their minor rolls well supporting the main cast. This movie is funny and the lineup of actors are significantly great.
