Plot

New York firefighter Patrick Sullivan had no idea his seemingly idyllic life was about to go up in smoke – especially as the unwitting, second-hand recipient of advice from famed love expert and radio host Dr. Emma Lloyd. One day he is a happy-go-lucky guy looking forward to a life with his soon-to-be-bride. The next thing you know, his fiancée Sophia (Justina Machado) is seeking couples counseling on the radio from Dr. Lloyd. The no-nonsense, ever practical Dr. Lloyd questions Sophia’s concept of romantic love and advises her to break their engagement, which she swiftly does. But when Patrick and his computer-savvy neighbor decide to give Dr. Lloyd a taste of her own medicine and “accidentally” join them in holy matrimony – something that doesn’t go over too well with her fiancé (played by Firth) -- it isn’t long before they learn that sometimes even an expert in love needs a second opinion…

Cast

Goofs/Mistakes

* At one point during the movie whilst Richard (Colin Firth) and Emma (Uma Thurman) are in a restaurant, Richard shows Emma the rings that they will have for their wedding. When Richard gets up and walks out, a crew member holding the boom microphone is clearly visible in the mirror behind Emma. There are numerous other instances all throughout the movie where the boom microphone drops in at the top of the screen.

* Another occurs when Richard and Emma are sitting on the bed near the start of the movie and he has just brought in some takeaway coffee, the coffee cups disappear and reappear during the scene, or change from being side-by-side to one being inside the other.
