Conrad Valmont (Jason Bateman) is the over-educated, under-employed heir to the Valmont Hotel fortune. Though he's spent most of his adult life enjoying a playboy lifestyle on a diet of Tom Collins cocktails, at 40 years old, he finds himself suddenly cut off from his allowance and tossed out into the unforgiving streets of the Upper West Side. Luckily, he is taken in by his old friend Dylan (Billy Crudup), and returns the favour by immediately falling for Dylan's beautiful girlfriend, Beatrice (Olivia Wilde). A hilarious love triangle ensues as Conrad attempts to woo Beatrice all over the city in secret. All's fair in love and war, right That is, until she finds out he's completely broke... and Dylan finds out his best friend has stolen his girl. (StudioCanal)

A romantic drama about how difficult it is to find someone you truly connect with, especially someone you wouldn't want just for their looks or for sex. It’s a film that typically gets stuck in genre clichés but aims to be dramatic, wanting to show that it can be interesting and poignant. Yet it unfortunately falls short, ending up as a superficial portrayal that reduces Olivia Wilde to just a pretty face.
