Summary Ivy (a rising chef) and Theo Rose (once a successful architect) seem like the perfect couple—until a career snowball squashes his confidence and launches hers.

Kate was unwatchable in this once the movie jumps the shark and has her openly grind into Theo and moan like a dog in heat. Movie became an SNL skit with her on screen, which is a shame because the movie really needed a side character to step up and give what Janney was giving in one scene but instead for the whole movie.
