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.

Reception

The film was a commercial failure, earning back less than 10% of its $5 million budget at the box office.[1] It was also critically panned. It currently holds a 21% approval rate at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 67 reviews (53 negative, 14 positive).[2] Lou Lumenick of The New York Post wrote "Despite its seemingly sure-fire premise and cast of veteran comedians, this movie just lies there without a single laugh." Dan Callahan from Slant magazine gave the film 0 stars out of 4, calling it an "implausible, weirdly depressed comedy" adding "there isn't one laugh in it".[3] Stax from IGN gave the film 2.5 out of 5, calling it an "occasionally engaging but ultimately unsatisfying comedy".[4] Entertainment Weekly was more favorable, giving the film a 'B-' with Owen Gleiberman describing the film as "a silly, amusing trifle".[5]
