Hannah and Danny

Hannah marries Danny.
Sounds easy enough. Yet 35 minutes into their marriage, Danny finds
out Hannah had a brief affair with his best friend. Marriage over.
This sets the tone for the rest of this quirky film where 6 people move in
and out of each other's lives over a three year period. |
Immediately after the
disastrous wedding, Hannah and her bride's maid tootle off to a nearby pup
where they proceed to get smashed.

Now enters the
smarmy artist, Cameron, a serial womanizer who enjoys searching
the singles ads and bars looking for women to seduce.
Meanwhile, Danny
jots off to the airport, two tickets in hand and still intent on
taking his honeymoon, (even |
Cameron

if it's
alone).

| Sophie, an 'upper crust
but choosing to slum it' kind of gal, meets Liam, a immature, comic
collector, and the two begin a very mismatched affair. Sophie
eventually breaks off the relationship and sends Liam packing. |
Liam and Sophie

Each character enters one
disasterous affair after another. It's as if each one is looking
for a prince or princess, but after 'kissing the toad', it still remains a
toad. Danny and Cameron manage to bed Hannah, Marey and Sophie, while
Marey and Sophie manage to bed Danny, Cameron and Liam.
The bittersweet ending
leaves you with some hope for most of the characters, but who ends up with
who? You'll have to see it and find out.
