About the movie
Lisa Jorgenson (Reese Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is the passion and center of her life, but she has just found out that her playing career is over. George Madison (Paul Rudd) is a straight arrow whose life is an endless series of complications - he`s a mess. Lisa has a complicated relationship with her maybe-boyfriend, Matty (Owen Wilson), a pro athlete. George`s relationship with his father, Charles (Jack Nicholson) is just as complex - the son has always been in the shadow of a man who would do anything to get ahead.
When George and Lisa meet for a first date, what if the best thing happens on the worst day of their lives?
